All Aboard the Australia Bandwagon

September 2, 2019 by Beth SeagerLeave a Comment

All Aboard the Australia Bandwagon

Sitting on a 17-hour flight I felt like an ungrateful child.  I had the opportunity to take an amazing trip halfway around the world. UK office blocks are full to the dropped-ceilings with dreams of Down Under. Australia had just never been on The List. My husband and I were visiting friends who had fallen in love with Sydney and emigrated.  I assumed it would be very similar to the UK, and when we landed, it was.  Everything is in English, … [Read more...]

Mumbai- An Irresistibly Fascinating City

August 27, 2019 by Bhakti Luhar2 Comments

Mumbai- An Irresistibly Fascinating City

According to me, words fall short to praise the Mumbai city popularly known as the “City of Dreams” in India. Previously known as Bombay, it is a city that never sleeps which is absolutely true. This mesmerizing city offers a blend of the ultramodern architecture, historical monuments, beaches, hills and a lot more. Mumbai is also the powerhouse of Indian business, industry, trade, financial and entertainment capital of India. A perfect mix of … [Read more...]

Sweet Treats In Omaha, Nebraska

August 24, 2019 by Allison Tibaldi2 Comments

Sweet Treats In Omaha, Nebraska

Nebraska is the heart of cattle country, best known for its meat, not its sweets.  In Omaha, the sugar fairy has blessed the state’s largest city with a cluster of shops selling tempting confections that will make you forget all about the beef. Those in the know leave their diet at the state border. Old Market Candy Shop For a taste of yesteryear, Old Market Candy Shop sells mouth-watering treats. Try the chicken feet, pretzel rods dunked … [Read more...]

8 Great Mountain Towns in the Great State of Georgia

A most convivial convergence exists in the northeastern corner of Georgia; the Blue Ridge Mountains meet the Chattahoochee National Forest and the southern tip of the Appalachian Trail.  In this region,   mountains meet lakes, ruggedness meets charm, and quaintness meets culture.  I have picked eight favorite amazing towns (here in alphabetical order), which I hope to be visiting again and again. BLAIRSVILLE is an easily affordable place to … [Read more...]

Misadventures of a Gringo in Colombia

August 19, 2019 by Dusty and Sparky1 Comment

Misadventures of a Gringo in Colombia

Upon leaving the unexpectedly small Cartagena airport, I was welcomed by a huge billboard featuring a Colombian Elvis impersonator. The other passengers who had also just arrived were poppin’ into little yellow micro-machine cabs and spinning off into their own assorted narratives. I stood and watched their numbers dwindle. Soon I was one of only a few prey left for the desperate transportation peddlers. A husky, determined Colombian man … [Read more...]

On Christmas Decorations and Syrian Food

On Christmas Decorations and Syrian Food

The air was unusually clear for Cairo, a city notorious for its polluted, hazy skies. Perhaps it was only because it was my first time seeing all the Christmas decorations set up for the bazaar that it felt like a crisp winter day. The bazaar was an opportunity for refugee women to showcase their skills and talents. Many of them were selling handicrafts, and others were dishing up food from their home countries. The smells mingled throughout … [Read more...]

5 Most Amazing Casinos in the World

There are two places in the world that claim the honor for hosting the most amazing casinos in the world; Las Vegas and Macau. Both are exclusive gambling destinations for tourists and compete in glamour and extravaganza. Casinos these days are not standalone structures, they are part of huge resorts that offer a myriad of services. While Macau attracts with designs and constructions of disproportionate size, Las Vegas invites to celebrity … [Read more...]

Cheesecake in the Vineyard

Cheesecake in the Vineyard

To say food inspired me on a trip to Italy sounds trite and a little too rehearsed. After all, there are lots of people who have been inspired by Italian food. Right? I’m telling you...this was different. Maybe it was because this was our first trip to Italy. Or, maybe it was because it was before GPS, and we had to rely on maps, road signs, and our basic sense of direction to get to our food. Some meals were more of an adventure than … [Read more...]

25 Reasons to Visit Petoskey Michigan

For people who are lucky enough to live on a coast, maybe Northern Michigan doesn't have the same appeal as it does for those of us who live in the Midwest.  There may not be any direct flights, unless you're coming from Detroit, but it is worth the connecting flight.  What makes Petoskey, Michigan so special?  I'll give you 25 reasons to visit Petoskey Michigan. Petoskey has been known as, "the land of million dollar sunsets," … [Read more...]

Kayaking among the Ghost Ships of Mallows Bay

Kayaking among the Ghost Ships of Mallows Bay

I never knew kayaking could be so much fun until I tried it. Now I’m hooked and am looking forward to my next excursion, thanks to my enjoyable experience learning about an important era in history while paddling through Mallows Bay on the Potomac River. The 14-square mile area, located in Charles County Maryland, is well within sight of Quantico Marine Base and located in Nanjemoy. My friends warned me that I’d get wet and cautioned against … [Read more...]
