Summer Update

Please note that I will be out of the office from Saturday, July 17 until Wednesday, August 4.

I am escorting a group of 34 on Regent’s Seven Seas Mariner. It’s an amazing Mediterranean itinerary visiting Croatia, Greece, Albania, Italy, France and Spain. I’ll be staying at the legendary Hotel Cipriani before the cruise and Le Meridien Barcelona at the end. Travel details and photos will be posted to my Blog during the trip. Yes, I’m really excited!

Here's a map of the itinerary:

Please get in touch now if you would like to make travel plans before I leave. As always, I will be checking voicemails and emails while traveling but my response time will be slower than usual. If you have a travel emergency while I’m away, please call the FROSCH 24-hour hotline (the information is detailed at the top of your travel itinerary).

Regent Cruises, Seven Seas Explorer Ship Review

Image
Regent is my favorite cruise line, and I was finally able to inspect the Seven Seas Explorer while she was docked in Bilbao on May 27, 2019. Launched in 2016 for 750 passengers, this all-balcony-suite ship lives up to the hype (“The Most Luxurious Ship Ever Built”). She is gorgeous. The chandeliers, the in-laid marble floor, the zebra carpet... The Culinary Arts Kitchen offers 18 individual cooking stations for hands-on cooking classes at sea. Executive Chef and Director of Culinary Enrichment, Kathryn Kelly designed the curriculum of classes with a destination-focus, catering to all skill levels.

Mother-Daughter Spa Getaway to Langdon Hall

Image
Hard to believe it was two years ago that I took my Mom on a Spa Getaway to celebrate her birthday (February 15-17, 2018). We drove about 90 minutes from her home to Langdon Hall Country House Hotel (a Relais & Chateaux property) in Cambridge, Ontario. It's also about 90 minutes from Toronto and an hour from Niagara Falls. We went for the spa facilities and the gourmet dining . We had delicious cocktails at Wilks Bar .  In summer, they have beautiful gardens and wooden trails, as well as an outdoor pool and croquet lawn. Here are My Photos .  Mom says: My first time in a feather bed - no, not a feather pillow or feather comforter, but the entire bed!  Sleeping on a soft dreamy cloud must be discussed more frequently as an antidote to ordinary life doldrums.  Of course it enhances sleep to the nth degree, but what about the imaginative realm reaching up to the heavens?  I am not kidding when I say Nothing in my life has compared to it, and if that realization shows I’m a sl
