Happy New Years! And what a start to the new year its been. From becoming an Auntie, to moving to London, and trips to Miami and NYC, here are my January photo highlights.
TRAVEL
In preparation for my 2015 move to London, I hopped over for a few days in December. While London may not seem like a typical travel destination in December, I’ve been fortunate enough to be over around my annual LeWeb Paris trip for a few years in a row and can tell you that it’s delightful. There’s just something about the Christmas holiday that results in an incredible amount of festive decor and activities, from markets, to teas and grand trees in well-known squares.
Here are some highlights from my visit:
Christmas Tea At The Ritz
One of the highlights of this visit came when a friend asked if I would join an awesome group of women in tech for Christmas Tea at The Ritz. While it wasn’t something I had planned in advance, I was beyond happy that I had appropriate attire – e.g a dress. Take a look at the gorgeous interior and decor and you will see why.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – a huge perk of destination weddings is that they take you places that are not on your usual travel bucket list. While I’m usually a European city or country escape type traveler (although I’m dying to get to Asia), a friend’s destination wedding recently had me jetting off to Punta Cana for a dash of fun in the sun.
Here are the highlights from my trip.
Where To Stay The wedding was at the Magestic Elegance in Punta Cana and we booked our hotel, flight and transport through a local travel agent in Boston. Having transport head of time is especially helpful because the Punta Cana airport is on the chaotic side, with many people trying to approach you and offer transportation services. Plus, there’s no hassle then to worry about getting back to airport. One would think it’s easy just to find a cab or car service, but as I’ve learned, booking ahead just saves a lot of hassle.
Upon arrival to the resort, I was wowed with how massive my room was. I had a junior suite with hot tub (that I never used!) in the adult portion of the resort.
