Seattle Sojourn, Part 2
Last week I introduced you to the start of our quick, two-night trip to Seattle. We packed a lot into our one full day in the city, taking advantage of sunny weather and 70-plus-degree temperatures (and this was early May!) to walk the several blocks down to the waterfront from our hotel. We lived in the Seattle area for about 15 years but have been away for longer than that (apart from a few short visits), and we were fascinated to see all the new construction completed and underway throughout the downtown core.

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.
Vintage Shopping in Osaka
One way I like to explore a new city is to try to find the area’s quirky, more localized shops — especially vintage and secondhand stores. Oddly enough, while in Osaka, I discovered the vintage shopping is far more fruitful for Western clothing culture rather than authentic Japanese.
