We assume that, since you're on our site, you like to travel.

At first blush, this probably sounds like a bad, weepy drama on some forlorn off-brand daytime television channel. You know the type, where Dane falls in love with Lucretia, only to discover that it is just not meant to be. No, this is not that. This is about actual continents with actual sea…
Bet you never thought you'd see that phrase. But, as always, history is a funny mistress and, let's face it, despite Google and our smart phones, we don't really know much, do we? Our children and their children will laugh at our conceit someday in the future. So, behold a new finding. …
We present another one of those "now you see it, now you don't" posts. Nothing lasts forever, it appears. And sometimes the powers-that-be appear to be deaf to what the people want. Here, we're talking about the Stairway to Heaven Trail on Oʻahu, Hawaii, the Haʻikū Stairs. Also known as the Stairway…
Lake Erie is the fourth largest lake by surface area of the five Great Lakes in North America and the eleventh-largest globally.

The world offers no shortage of fascinating, thrilling, silly, scary and sometimes confusing opportunities to behold what other members of your species are up to. We'll cut to the chase on this one, as it's quite a tale, one that could only really happen in the post-1960's movies, or for that matter, anything that…
I suppose that we're preaching to the converted here when we talk about how getting out of the house and into nature is such an important component of a healthy life. Your mother probably nagged you endlessly when you were a yoof and now you likely do the same with your offspring. But…
You don't see too many tours to the Antarctic, and there's a reason for that. First, most humans flee at full speed away from frigid temperatures. Unless you're a skier, you are usually looking for deals to Tahiti or similar climes. It's always nice to come back from a trip without frostbite.…
Patagonia is a region encompassing the vast southernmost tip of South America, shared by Argentina and Chile, with the Andes Mountains as its dividing line. The Argentine side features arid steppes, grasslands and deserts, while the Chilean has glacial fjords and temperate rainforest. Argentina’s famed RN-40 highway passes the pinnacles of Monte Fitz Roy and…
It's April of 2023. Thus far, there has been no let-up on the hatred and destruction that has plagued our people for the past few years. Between the tensions of the so-called superpowers, and the ideological uprisings centered around religion, it feels like we have stepped back several decades. Sure, this is…
It will come as no surprise to regular reader here how much we love Europe. There are very few places in the world that offer as much diversity, excitement and romance as that most desirable continent. And, if you happen to be in the UK and want to journey to Europe, hiring a…
Are you the edgy type? Looking for something new and different? How about going underground . . . literally. And it's actually perfect if the weather is lousy. How about Rolling hills, deep river valleys, and the world's longest known cave system? Mammoth Cave National Park is home to thousands…
It’s the most dominant fast food chain on the planet, serving 68 million customers a day in 120 countries. You won’t spot the golden arches, though, anywhere on one tiny island in the easternmost Caribbean. “Bajans didn’t like it,” says Michael Harrison when asked about the absence of McDonalds in Barbados. “When they want a…
Who doesn’t love a Tuk Tuk? We certainly do, and we’ve been in them from Delhi to Peru. Cramped, noisy, smelly, chaotic and 150% fun.
Your oasis of solitude exists!
Do you ever stop to think about your existence on planet Earth? Of all of the known planets (so far) we're the only one with blue waters, blue skies, human beings and Taco Bell. How and why did we end up here? And what else exists for us to know of this…
It's fabulous thing to have lots of money. You can more or less do what you want, even if "it makes no sense." Look at Elon Musk. Or Jeff Bezos. Sheesh. But, back to reality, there are hundreds of wealthy individuals out there who happily and thoughtfully share their riches: …
A UNESCO site, Benin is a top country to visit on any West African itinerary.
We're sorry. We couldn't resist playing with that lousy pun of a post title. But this cruise down the Nile does come with a mummy-back guarantee.

.... responsibly. For many travelers, one of the biggest thrills is being able to visit locales and see animals in their own habitats, unshackled, roaming around as it should be. Elephants, tigers, rare birds - you get the picture. Safaris are a great way of doing that (and we have a…
