Sarasota FL, Day 6, 290224
The forecast wasn’t great for this morning, it should have been foggy. I took the fact that it was actually cloudy instead, but by the time we went for breakfast at Palm Avenue Deli, it was hot enough to have parasols open at our table. https://palmavenuedeli.com This deli specialises in Jewish food cooked by a…

Sarasota, Fl, Day 5, 280224
We got up quite early as I had a two hour or so drive from Naples to Sarasota. After breakfast we checked out and were soon on the road. The journey was uneventful, apart from a couple of hold ups with roadworks, and we arrived in Sarasota before lunch. We parked up outside the hotel…

Old Naples and Tin City, FL, Day 4, 270224
We woke early today, I am still not sure what time zone my body is in!! It’s somewhere between ET and GMT but my sleep pattern is very awry. Breakfast was served in the lobby bar area of the hotel and consisted of a lot of sweet stuff like waffles, donuts and pastries as well…

Miami Day 2, 250224
There was no plan today, except to go for a walk down Ocean Drive this morning and make the most of the sunshine. We had breakfast in the hotel as it was included in the booking – it was lovely sitting on the front veranda of the hotel that looks onto Ocean Drive. It was…

Miami South Beach, Day 1, 240224
The day started off at Sofitel Heathrow with a 6:30 am wake up to allow us to be at the airport in plenty of time. The hotel is in a perfect location as it is a five minute under cover walk to terminal 5. https://all.accor.com/hotel/6214/index.en.shtml?utm_campaign=seo+maps&utm_medium=seo+maps&utm_source=google+Maps Heathrow was busy but we were fast-tracked through security once…

Vilnius Day 4, 020124
Today we knew it was going to be cold. The hotel staff had already been telling us every day, and so had numerous weather apps…. After breakfast, I went back to the room to put on several layers and then we went out. I’d wanted to visit the bell tower in Cathedral Square, as it…

Vilnius Day 3, 010124
After being kept awake by loud music that continued until 4:15am on New Year’s Day, we had a good lie in. Breakfast was extended in the hotel until 1pm (did they know something we didn’t) so we didn’t get there until nearly midday, which was perfect. Once we had eaten, we wrapped up even more…

Vilnius Day 2, 311223 New Year’s Eve
The day started at a leisurely pace with a lovely breakfast in the hotel. We had a good choice of cold cut meats, cheeses, salad, fruits, pastries and yogurts. There was also a menu if we wanted anything cooked to order, such as omelette or boiled eggs, so plenty to choose from. We went out…

Vilnius Day 1, 301223
Today started at the very unsociable hour of 4am, to allow us to prepare for our flight from Stansted at 6:30am. Radisson Blu was a few minutes walk away from the terminal so it had been a great idea to book our overnight stay there. Even better that we’d booked a fast track route through…

Italian Job 2, Day 15, Venice then home 070823
Monday morning started ok, with a bit of a lie-in. We had a great view of San Marco basin from our room, with San Georgio Maggiore church tower in the distance. It was a beautiful day. We had to check out of Hotel Paganelli by 11:00, so packed and left our bags downstairs. We weren’t…
