The English Restaurant in Spitalfields, East London
When in the Spitalfields area of London, we often stop by the English Restaurant. We first visited as part of a food tour and have returned numerous times over the years. It’s right across the street from Spitalfields Market, on the corner of Brushfield Street and Crispin Street.

We recently took a trip to Cancun. After five days by the pool, it was time to head home. We flew out of terminal four at CUN where Priority Pass grants access to The Lounge In Partnership with Air Transat. (sort of a clunky name for a lounge). Here are some pictures from our visit. Check in was easy, we provided our Priority Pass card along with our boarding passes, and were in the lounge in a matter of minutes. The lounge was a modest size room with a bar in the center. There was seating areas around the edges of […]
Read MoreBooking Turkish Air Business Class to Israel
As airline prices surge, points and miles can make a big difference in stretching the travel budget. We experienced this when booking a great deal on a business class flight to the Middle East.

The business class flight departs from Dallas, flies to Istanbul, and then connects through to Tel Aviv. Turkish Airlines is not an airline we considered much in the past, […]
Read MoreA Visit Through the Souqs of Dubai
Our trip to Dubai included a half day at the Souqs of Dubai. These markets are a fun place to wander through the old part of Dubai. We caught a taxi from the hotel which dropped us off right outside the Spice (or herbs) Souq. The sights and smells of the spices abound Upon leaving the spice souq we walked towards a road with many small shops. The shops were filled with souvenirs and saturated with bright color. If you’re interested in buying, haggling for a good price is part of the shopping experience. Whatever you are shopping for you, […]
