One of the things I liked doing best while we were in Istanbul was visiting the Pera Palace Hotel. Or, as it’s known in Turkish, Pera Palas Otel. We didn’t stay there (out of our price range), but I made a point of finding it. In a manner of speaking,Continue Reading
I asked Michelle from Guy N Girl Travels if she’d be interested in contributing a guest blog when I learned she was headed to Savannah a couple of months back. To my delight, she obliged. Michelle is a super talented writer and I never fail to LOL when I readContinue Reading
