Today was the Goldring Travel Special Food & Wine Event at the New England Aquarium. It went off without a hitch and was, honestly, better than I had hoped for. Goldring Travel’s clients were given access to the entire New England Aquarium to enjoy the penguins, huge central tank and all of the exhibits before
We arrived in Bar Harbor, Maine to the rude awakening of a face-to-face United States Immigration inspection.

Charles Dickens’ Tale of Two Cities meets Jimmy Buffet. The night before the cruise is to start I dined at Le Champlain at Chateaux Frontenac Hotel. Is it a Four Diamond restaurant which is truly a restaurant within a hotel rather than a hotel restaurant. It was a truly memorable dinner. We started with a
The 2011 Goldring Travel Food & Foliage Cruise started with an early morning flight to Quebec City, Canada, all of my luggage arriving (Yeah!) and a 25 minute taxi ride to the Chateau Frontenac Hotel, which is located in the heart of Old Quebec City and overlooks the cruise ship piers. The Chateau Frontenac Hotel
I am very excited to announce that I had a bit of a jump on the 2012 European itineraries and have designated Goldring Travel’s 2012 Food & Wine Cruise to be the Seabourn Pride’s September 22, 2012 sailing. It is an incredible itinerary with overnights in Le Havre (for Paris) and Bordeaux while visiting English, Irish,
The 2011 Goldring Travel Food & Foliage Cruise will be a nine (9) night cruise on the Seabourn Sojourn on September 21, 2011 departing from Quebec City, Quebec sailing up the St. Lawrence River and then down the East Coast to New York City. For this cruise I wanted to combine a few things that
