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!

Venice, Italy
Venice is one of those places that is more about a feeling or a mood than it is about a list of important sights to see (though there are plenty of those). Twisty walkways and canals, bridges, and its grand old Palazzos — we fell under its spell. Make sure to get on a boat and ride the canals at least once.
