Traveling with a gimlet eye.


“to have a gimlet eye”: to look at carefully and not miss anything

Welcome to The Gimlet Traveler. As our friends know, my husband and I are as particular about the quality of our vodka gimlets as we are about where and how we travel. For some time now, they have asked me for our vacation travel recommendations, so I’ve finally gathered my thoughts in one place, here, at The Gimlet Traveler. Most of these destinations are places we’ve visited, while some are planned itineraries for the future. New destinations, themed posts and pictures will continue to appear over time so be sure to check back! Hope you find this information helpful or inspiring. Cheers!
