Introduction to Havana

Introduction to Havana

I learned that it takes a few days to warm to Cuba - but when you do, its alluring embrace grabs you with all it has and doesn't let go.

Staying at Eugene Oregon’s Inn at the 5th Perfect for Exploring Southern Willamette Valley Wineries

November 14, 2018 by Steve Mirsky5 Comments

Staying at Eugene Oregon’s Inn at the 5th Perfect for Exploring Southern Willamette Valley Wineries

Downtown Eugene Oregon is decidedly more laid back and outdoorsy than much larger and more renowned Portland to the north. The University of Oregon's extensive in-town footprint and streets packed with local non-chain shopping make it a pedestrian haven. Strolling here especially on weekends during the warmer months envelops you in the city's music scene like a sax player belting out tunes under a cavernous overpass enhancing the acoustics and … [Read more...]

Experiencing the Real Nevis Through Artisan Dining and Locally Run Inns

Situated in the refreshing trade wind breezes of the Leeward Island chain in the West Indies, Nevis remains authentically Caribbean eschewing the homogenization that has befallen so many other island destinations. This means absolutely no strip development, fast food chains, casinos, or stoplights and only one international brand resort on this 36 square mile island. Nevis's 12,000 residents live in villages where no buildings exceed the height … [Read more...]

Exploring the Medieval Village of Viviers with Viking Cruises

One of the many advantages of taking a river cruise in Europe is immediate access to small off the beaten path villages and experiences. This was my second river cruise with Viking - on both cruises I've maintained a balance between participating in the offered group tours and taking time to explore on my own. Today I felt like exploring at my own pace simply letting the day unfold. Walking a dirt path on the way to town, I took delight for … [Read more...]
