We have been traveling again for six months a year--typically in two month segments! But that might change in February 2025. Stay tuned!
In November 2024 we left Vail to spend 50 days in Panama. We shortened it to 40 and went back to Vail to ski. Then, we decided to decamp and go to ski Tignes in France on January 31st 2025 and also to try to get a 5-year permission to stay based on Dimitri’s Greek passport. Right now we are planning to stay for the 3 permitted months and then return to Vail at the end of April. But we’ll see if we get our permission to stay.
For July and August 2024, we traveled to the Middle East (yes, while there was a war on). We stayed at 6 different Four Seasons Hotels and were truly indulged! It's been nearly 30 years since we were in Turkey or in Egypt. We started in Istanbul at the Four Seasons Sultanahmet property. From Istanbul, we flew to Cairo and stayed at the Nile Plaza property. After Cairo, we flew to Sharm El Sheikh and stayed at that FS property. Next, we went to the Alexandria Four Seasons and Dimitri’s birthplace (not the FS, Alexandria). Click here to read about all of the things we checked off Dimitri's wish list. We returned to Cairo by car and stayed at the FS First Residence. After a month in Egypt, we returned to Istanbul and stayed at the gorgeous FS Bosphorus.
In February 2024 we left Vail to ski Japow in Hokkaido Japan. It was a disaster, with no pow to be found. Start reading about our trip by clicking here. Click on "Older Post" (yes, it's counterintuitive) or on the arrow on the right under the comment box to read our next post.
In November 2023 we arrived in Malaysia for a city visit in Kuala Lumpur and a beach vacation in Langkawi, staying at two different Four Seasons. Read about our journey to Malaysia and our stay in KL. Click on "Older Post" or on the arrow on the right under the comment box to read our next post.
Our previous two-month trip was in July 2023. We arrived in the Seychelles to stay at the Four Seasons on Mahé and on the Island of Desroches.
Oh, there is a really cool map showing our 2022-2023 travels: click here to see it.
A & D, great to hear that your traveling love affair is back on track. You continue to be an inspiration. All the best. Mike & Doreen
