Chronicles of a Traveling Aficionado 
Cruising with Fine Wines and Epicurean Experiences

Travel is an awarding experience especially with one you love because you can share with them the moment of the experience. The Birgens feel by letting, you the reader, into their life to enjoy what they enjoy; good wines, good food, ambiance of the moment, touring, history, and cruising, you too may enjoy it with them.
The enjoyment of travel is living it and making the most of the moments as they fit your life style, spontaneity, along with staying within your comfort zone.
