• Beautiful Budapest

  

  Since we were staying in Budapest for three nights, we booked an apartment rather than a hotel. Located on the Pest side of the Danube River, our apartment had two bedrooms, a lounge with a flat screen TV, dining area, kitchen, two bathrooms, and a washing machine and drying rack.

• Eat Sleep Drink: Paris

  

  In early May, Rick and I spent two days in Paris before heading to Amsterdam. As we’ve been to Paris numerous times, we decided to skip museum visits and simply enjoy being in our favorite part of the city, the Latin Quarter (5th arrondissement). Traffic getting from Orly airport to our hotel was challenging due…
