A lot of articles lately mention Covid-19, which is something I purposely tried to avoid, but how can something that has derailed my plans of not just travel<\/a> but also material for Lifestylepop not be mentioned. For the third issue now, I have set out to write about one of my favorite cities and even destinations in the world in as much depth as my Tuscany article but have spectacularly failed at it due to my constant travel cancellations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/strong>The marvelous story of my trip to Geneva would cover why I prefer (or if I still do\u2026) Hotel des Bergues<\/a> to La Reserve<\/a> (my husband\u2019s preference), which of the worlds high fashion boutiques have the best flagship store in Geneva, report on my very favorite restaurants, including a comparison between two of the most popular Chinese restaurants there, a detailed report on the famous \u2018shabu shabu\u2019 served in one of Geneva\u2019s most authentic Japanese restaurants (if you can call it that), and of course my favorite Caf\u00e9 du Centre. The wide range of opportunities whether for winter or summer months at a mere hour and half drive from Geneva, such as a ride to the famous Montreux Christmas market or the majestic Lac d\u2019Anessy for walk around the beautiful swan filled canals and grab a delicious lunch overlooking the busy streets. Well\u2026 I hate to break it to you, but once again the trip was moved. Unlike the previous two attempts being moved due to the regulations and other difficulties associated with travel in recent years, this time the decision was quite literally taken out of my hands. Two days before my traveling date, I tested positive for Covid-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a moment I thought about foregoing my travel category for this month, due to the circumstances, but after some consideration I decided I cannot rob you of the mind-blowing details of my beautiful trip to my bedroom in utter isolation. Egyptian cotton linens, 4 king and 2 boudoir pillows, freshly brewed tea in a silver thermos on a snow-white wooden bed tray, a small baccarat bowl to hold the demi-citron I squeezed into my tea and manuka honey, and of course an oxygen monitor along with vitamins prescribed by my GP.<\/p>\n\n\n
