November 7, 2010 by Dave8 Comments

Panama has their own currency, the Balboa - but … [Read more...]

Entering Luxor

October 28, 2010 by Dave1 Comment

Luxor lies along the banks of the great Nile (the longest river in the world). If it wasn't for the Nile there would be no population here (a ribbon across the great Sahara Desert. The green of the agricultural fields extends both sides of the river maybe 8-10km where it abruptly ends at the sands of the Sahara Desert. The town is spread out along the east and west banks with most of the population centered on the east side. There is no bridge … [Read more...]

When you decide to visit Egypt, you always worry about climate, save places to visit and stay, where and … [Read more...]

Pittsburgh Weekend Getaway

December 1, 2009 by DaveLeave a Comment

The steel industry vacated Pittsburgh starting in the mid 1980's and by the mid 90's had almost entirely disappeared.

Travel Spotlight: Jordan

November 1, 2009 by Dave10 Comments
