For those of you who live in a warm and sunny climate, you probably have no idea what I’m talking about. There’s this weird thing that happens…

Manhattan’s Many Buildings I can´t imagine being in the middle of these huge buildings… I would love to feel really small, dwarfed by what great minds can create with the sky as the limit. To stay in though, I would probably prefer to find a New York home rental in a cozy area rather than staying in a crazy congested hotel, but we will…

Things Annie Brings to Do on a Plane
This may come as a surprise to you since I am such a delightful person in every sense of the word (dare I say, lovely?), but I get bored from time to time on long plane rides. In many cases I can just occupy my thoughts with the excitement I already feel for wherever I’m going (or coming home from), sleep or chat with a friendly stranger, but on the really long flights there are times when I just need something to do. Heck, it can be the 45 minute flight from Frankfurt to Geneva and I’ll be itchin to do something! When I think back to my first trip…

Getting Away for Christmas
I really think I need to get away for Christmas. This year was even more exhausting than usual (I’ll spare you the details but suffice it to say… there are members of my family that I’d like to take an icicle to their face), making me reconsider how I spend this time of year.
