Tulips, Tokyo, & Tel Aviv
Tulip Time in The Netherlands
Tulip season in the Netherlands starts in mid-March and continues through mid-May. AmaWaterways has a wonderful Dutch river cruise that focuses on tulip season in the Netherlands. I just booked one of my newest clients on this cruise and I am so excited to hear about it. It ends with a visit to Keukenhof, where every year, more than 7 million flower bulbs are planted by hand in the autumn to flower in spring. There’s a variety of 800 different tulips!!
Japan is Open! Time to Visit Tokyo!
I haven’t been back to Tokyo since 2008. One of these days! Luckily, I can live vicariously through my clients. I’m helping one couple plan the ultimate 5 star stay in Tokyo and Kyoto with a focus on food and sake. I love this because for many years, I wrote one of the most popular restaurant and travel blogs in London, Passportdelicious.com. (Sorely neglected these days. But you can read my original Tokyo posts here. Please remember these pics are pre-iPhone!)
Tel Aviv is So Tempting
In my old retirement investing days, I used to go to Tel Aviv a lot for work. I LOVE Tel Aviv!!! The beach! The food! The nightlife! The city is pulsing with energy and innovation. I’m currently working on a Nile River cruise with AmaWaterways with a pre-cruise stay in Jordan and a custom post-cruise stay in Tel Aviv. So much fun to plan!
