    Into the lap of luxury at Villa Aquamare on Virgin Gorda

    ByEileen Ogintz January 20, 2012July 12, 2021

    The advantage here—besides the privacy and the chance to putter in the kitchen yourself—is that you aren’t paying $5 each time a child wants a virgin colada or $15 for the real thing.

    A whirlwind tour of Hong Kong over the holidays

    ByEileen Ogintz January 19, 2012July 16, 2021

    I can’t believe I’m here. Hong Kong’s famous Victoria Harbor watches as I try to follow William Ng, a 75-year-old Tai Chi master, as he introduces about 20 of us to the ancient art of Tai Chi or “shadow boxing.”

    ByEileen Ogintz January 18, 2012February 1, 2024

    “That’s part of the adventure,” says my 25 year old daughter Reggie. “It’s not like we’re at a fancy resort where everything is being done for us.”

    Back to the BVI and sailing a Moorings catamaran

    ByEileen Ogintz January 17, 2012July 7, 2021

    When it came time to decide on a family trip for my far flung gang—the first time we’d all be together in more than a year—sailing, with some diving included, was everyone’s top pick.

    How far has ship safety come since the Titantic?

    ByEileen Ogintz January 16, 2012July 17, 2021

    In the coming months, we’ll be commemorating the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. Pundits and experts will be talking about how far we’ve come in cruise safety since then. Clearly the Concordia shows we still have a long way to go.

    ByAndy Yemma January 16, 2012November 10, 2025

    Reggie and I are already imagining our next dive back home in the much colder, kelp-forested waters of Monterey, California — just a couple hours away from our domicile in San Francisco.

    Learning African American History in Boston

    ByEileen Ogintz January 12, 2012July 16, 2021

    A winter foray to Boston — whether you are touring colleges (there are more than 100 campuses in Massachusetts) or just looking for a winter getaway — is a good place to start, especially with the reopening this past December after a multimillion-dollar restoration of The African Meeting House.

    Last day in Hong Kong — to the spa!

    ByEileen Ogintz January 12, 2012July 16, 2021

    After a frenetic week reporting—not to mention serious jet lag—I figured there couldn’t be a better way to while away my last morning before my return flight than experiencing the Mira Hotel’s spa.

    An amazing geological park just outside Hong Kong

    ByEileen Ogintz January 11, 2012June 28, 2023
