Bratislava. The name simply sounds foreign and Eastern European to my American ears. The number of times I have had to describe the geographic location for my December trip to Vienna, Austria and from there to Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, indicates the general lack of map awareness with my friends and family. Bratislava, Slovakia…
Yesterday I was looking for Choice Hotels in Slovakia. There aren’t any. But the Choice Hotels website did show me several hotels in Czech Republic and there are some real deals to be found with Choice Privileges points. If I had not already convinced myself to spend my time next month in Slovakia, I’d head…
Funny how divergent events from life come together in memory during travel.

Google Maps recommended Student Agency bus as the cheapest transportation option between Prague Airport and Brno. Student Agency sounds like a transportation service for college students and…

The most popular of these caves is Punkevni Jeskyne, Punkva Caves, where the hour long cave tour includes a dry cave walk, followed by a boat ride…
Unlike Prague, there seem to be very few Americans traveling to Brno, the second largest city in Czech Republic with nearly 400,000 residents.
