Festive SeaWorld
Florida reached record low temperatures this Christmas holiday, causing people to bundle up, light fireplaces and sip on hot beverages. Perfect timing, as it made Christmas more alive. I have been amazed at how innovative Florida is at keeping the spirit of Christmas traditions. For example, I could go ice skating on Christmas Eve in an outdoor skating rink made of ice, which interested me since typically temperatures are well above freezing here.

The Argosaronic Islands Are Calling
The Saronic or Argo Saronic Islands of Greece call travelers to explore its seven small islands and islets brimming with history, natural sites and more. With most easily accessible by boat, the islands’ proximity to ports of Athens make the Saronic Islands an ideal destination for those preferring shorter boat rides. In fact, trips from Athens ports to the islands take only between 10 minutes and two hours, depending on the island you choose, making them perfect for day or weekend trips. From Piraeus port, you can access Hydra, Spetses, Aegina and Poros directly. Come explore these stunning islands with us and find the inspiration to plan your next trip to these islands. Hydra Hydra town curves around a slope overlooking the Argosaronic Gulf like an amphitheater and is considered one of the most romantic destinations in Greece. Most unique to the island is its lack of vehicles. People on the island get around on mules and donkeys as well as water taxis, making for a peaceful and laid-back day. Hydra lies a two-hour ferry ride from Piraeus port in Athens.
Escape to Space
Suppose you are a science nerd or a space fanatic or into learning about the possibility of human existence on other planets. In that case, you might know about NASA's Artemis 1, which was supposed to leave Earth by Labor Day, making its way to the moon. If so, some of you may have traveled to view this $40 billion, 233-foot rocket launch into space. I drove more than 100 miles hoping to watch it take off. The sad news is it hasn't happened yet, and I did not watch history in the making this past weekend. But thanks to Disney World, I got an excellent alternative on the Millennium Falcon and in the Star Wars Galaxy Edge section of the theme park.
The Time Loop of Cabana Bay Beach Resort
When one travels to Orlando, they know they’re entering the Theme Park Capital of the world. And, in my humble opinion, one of the ways Orlando continued to stay on theme is by extending the concept into its hotels and resorts.

A Relaxing Morning at Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World
A few weeks ago, while in Orlando, Florida, for the Global Business Travel Association’s annual convention, I decided to sneak in a little relaxation pre-trade show kick-off and sought a few hours of calm at the Spa at Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World. As the convention center is not located on Disney property, this also gave me my one and only chance on that trip to Orlando to get a taste of Disney.
