Nestled alongside the Miramichi River in (you guessed it) Miramichi, New Brunswick is a treasured hotel, and a genius restaurant. I had no idea, when we pulled up to the long (very long!) yellow building fronting the river, that such goodness would await us inside.
Central America is a hop, skip and a jump away from the United States. It’s that kind of access I want my students to know. It’s that possibility and ability of choice that can help make travel happen. Places become more than dots on a map - they become memories.

This past year, I lost my ability to breathe while visiting El De Haus, a four-story brick building that was under construction in Cologne, Germany in 1935 when it was taken over by the Gestapo.
In the age of the Internet, multinational teams working across the globe are the way of the future. The Internet has moved us into a truly global business market, so having resources spread around the world becomes a huge advantage to businesses both large and small.

The Tampa Bay area is vast and it has some great restaurants in every niche.
