One of the main draws for us when visiting Philadelphia, is the food, including the popular Philly Cheesesteak.

During our most recent visit, we tried and conquered the Philly Taco. Continue reading Philly Cheesesteak Fav Tony Luke’s Opening In NYC

Virgin Atlantic is changing their swimming policy for cabin crews.

My guess is that in order to be a member of an airline’s cabin crew, you need to know how to swim, just in case of an emergency.

When I saw a tweet from Richard Branson about Virgin Atlantic changing their swimming policy, I wondered if it would no long be required to know how to swim. Continue reading Virgin Atlantic Changing Their Cabin Crew Swimming Policy

A Visit to the Sulphur Springs Drive In Volcano in St Lucia

While researching things to do on Saint Lucia, I came across one site that sounded pretty unique, Sulphur Springs Park which is billed as the “Caribbeans only drive in volcano“. Continue reading A Visit to the Sulphur Springs Drive In Volcano in St Lucia

An Unplanned (& Tasty) Visit To Jollibee In New York City!

JollibeeEver since we visited Jollibee in Woodside, NY, back in 2016, I’ve wanted to return to try more items from their menu.

I first came across Jollibee while watching an episode of Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown. For those of you not so familiar with the restaurant, it’s a fast food restaurant from the Philippines which is quite popular there. Think of it as the country’s version of McDonald’s.

Soon after writing my review of our visit, I was happy to see that Jollibee would be expanding by opening a location in Manhattan. Continue reading An Unplanned (& Tasty) Visit To Jollibee In New York City!
