Heading to Cayman Islands this winter

Posted on November 6, 2014 | 3 comments

Seven Mile Beach on Grand Cayman Island

Lest you think I don’t practice what I preach, earlier this week Sergio and I booked a trip so we can escape from Old Man Winter.  Earlier this year I wrote, How to survive a Boston winter.  The first post in that series suggested that you book a trip prior to the holiday season so you aren’t stretched by the Christmas credit card crunch and so you can score cheaper airfare.

Caribbean, Cuba, Jamaica, mapWe were able to get great airfare to Grand Cayman Island in the Caribbean so we booked a trip. If you feel like demands at work would prevent you from getting away, keep in mind my previous post Please go away – often and book a trip to get away – even if only for a couple nights.  Great airfares out of Boston remain available to warm destinations like Florida, Puerto Rico and Caribbean.

Please go away – often

Posted on November 6, 2014 | Leave a comment

VacationOxford Economics released a report in September that found Americans are taking fewer vacation days than ever before.  In 2013, Americans took an average of 16 days of vacation, compared to 20.3 days in 2000.  Taking fewer earned vacation days translated into nearly 170 million lost paid days off. Interestingly the report found those who forfeited vacation time did not receive better raises or bonuses.  The message I take from this is:

Plan Your Vacation Today

Anyone who reads this blog, knows that I love traveling and I love spending time with friends and family.  If you haven’t the opportunity to get away, plan a stay-cation and enjoy time away from work. You might be surprised to learn that 1) Your colleagues miss you and appreciate you more; 2) You feel refreshed.

Boston on tumblr

Posted on November 5, 2014 | 1 comment

Boston Public GardenThe Boston Globe now has a tumblr page that encourages the public to upload photos of Boston. Some of these pictures are really beautiful and worth checking out.  If you’ve never been to Boston, the images will provide some wonderful views of our neighborhoods, architecture and people.  If you are far from home, this tumblr page will certainly make you nostalgic and want to come back and visit. Feel free to share your photos on the Globe’s tumblr site – they make it very easy to do, just clicking a couple of buttons.  I’ve also added this to my blogroll in the right margin of my blog so you can check it as often as you like.

Harvard Art Museums

Six years and $350 million dollars later, the Harvard art museums – the Fogg, Busch-Reisinger, and Arthur M. Sackler – have now been combined under one roof.  The Harvard Art Museums as they are being called open to the public later this month, starting Sunday, November 16th.

The expansion gives the combined museums 40% more gallery space to house their 250,000-piece art collection.  Not surprising, Harvard spared no expense with this thoughtful redesign, hiring Pritzker Prize winning architect, Renzo Piano, to create an impressive new home for Harvard’s most prized artwork.  The new Calderwood Courtyard is a great example of Piano’s work, which brings plenty of natural light through the glass-and-steel roofing and upper-level glass walls.   I’m looking forward to seeing this space open to the public and encourage you to check out the Harvard Art Museums.

Facebook drama

Posted on November 3, 2014 | Leave a comment

LIke BosGuy Blog FB Page 2More than a few of you noticed that my public persona “BosGuy” suddenly changed on Facebook a couple weeks ago.  Facebook ambushed me and gave me an ultimatum to use my real name or my account would immediately be deleted.

Facebook has always been a distribution channel for my blog posts, and now that the page is no longer “BosGuy” it seems out of place so if you ‘befriended’ me to follow my posts, please like my blog’s page: BosGuy Blog Page.

The page now known as Robert Wilson will no longer host blog posts. Over the next few weeks I will ‘de-friend’ many.  This isn’t intended to hurt feelings but the Bos Guy page now known as “Robert Wilson” will actually reflect those with whom I spend time.

To stay current with my blog please like and follow the BosGuy Blog Page.

Thank you
