Like you, we love to travel wherever and whenever we can. And, for the most part, that is both do-able and easy. Some places are - not surprisingly - out of the realm of reality for most of us (the North Pole for example) but out of the 195 countries on the planet,…
Nature & the Environment
Maybe unknown to some. Maybe a bubbling-under hotspot. Maybe on everyone's lips except ours. But, in any case, let's talk about Siargao. It is a stunning tropical island located in the Philippines and has become increasingly popular among tourists in recent years. Here are several reasons why you should consider visiting Siargao…
When you think of that most marvelous of edifices, Stonehenge, what do you think of? Probably "Spinal Tap" but that's not history now, is it? No, probably second in line is your disappointment in not being able to run up and lick the sarsen standing stones. At one time - when your…
Wolves get a bad rap in the human world. Throughout history, wolves have often been portrayed negatively in folklore, mythology, and fairy tales. They are often depicted as villains, symbols of darkness, or as creatures that prey upon livestock and humans. These stories have perpetuated negative stereotypes and fear of wolves. But, anyone…
We love sharing the planet with our readers and friends. So much to see and do, and so little time, especially when you’re in our age bracket, And sometimes getting around to see these places are, sadly, a non-starter. So what can you do, but simply see the world vicariously.
A good day in Buenos Aires.
Buenos Aires is one of those places that is on everyone's list to see. Even if you know nothing about it, you want to go there. Unless you've been under a rock all of this time, this is one of those must-see places on the planet. …
Doesn't sound like much fun, does it? Why would you want to go to a place that actually has the name mosquito in it? Especially if - like us - you grew up in a place where the annual plague of mosquitos appeared every summer - without fail - and completely ruined your…
Oh Canada. A place of some intrigue to many, there is always something new - and usually very old - when travelers peek under the hood. Sure, the names Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Quebec and Calgary always roll off people's lips. But, like anywhere else, out of the mists (real and imagined) are…
Are you one of those "been there, done that" kind of people? That's excellent if you are. The world is so big, we humans are so small and life is so short. So why not grab life by the horns and really go for it? How about a place that is…
Wherever you go in the USA, one thing is for certain. You can always count on California for a hip, welcoming and relaxed experience.
Mustique is renowned for its exclusivity and privacy. Good luck getting there.
It's rather amazing when you go from one place to another - in the same country - and then haven't a clue about what they're saying. There's regional slang, of course, which almost no-one can understand.
For example, Yinz, from Pittsburgh, USA. Whaaa? That means you all (not to be mistaken with…
Another post about yet another place on this beautiful earth that may be bubbling under for you . . . and for others. Today, it's Anguilla. Anguilla is a small Caribbean island known for its stunning natural beauty, pristine beaches and warm hospitality. Here are several reasons why you should consider visiting. …
If you live or have lived in the United States, the story of African Americans is a sad, troubled and still unsettled part of that country's history. Slavery is, for the most part, gone but the pain still lingers. For so many years, much of the story has been hidden behind doors, with…
You’ll need to be hardy to visit here, but the bragging rights are undeniable.
Hey presto! You’re now in Spain.
Not many places in the world are as desirable and as beautiful as the Italian lakes in Lake Como, Lombardy, Italy. How many thousands of photos have been taken there, usually by dreamy-eyed lovers who sadly realize that they may never stay in that most revered location. Why? Well, primarily it's down…
You're always spoiled for choice when you choose Japan as a destination. Welcoming, progressive, playful and unforgettable, it's a "no brainer" when it's time to go. But, Japan is so diverse, where should you go, especially if you've been before, or want something new. Well, say hello to Sapporo. The capital city…
Namibia. How much do you know about this diverse country? And, for those who are clued into what Nambia has to offer, were you aware that there is a cross-country luxury train? And when we say luxury, we mean it.
Let's take a step backwards and give you the background about why…
It's not often when you have a chance to get a glimpse into history in the making, especially history that is as profound as this story is. This is a little-known tale about one of our heroes, and probably yours, too - George Harrison of The Beatles. They need no introduction, so we'll…
