Top Private Tours in Paris

April 15, 2019 by DaveLeave a Comment

I first visited Paris 20 years ago when my brother and I were taking full advantage of our summer break from college to backpack around Europe for 2 months. This was our first independent trip together overseas and my first trip to Europe; Paris was our first stop. I remember being in awe of the giant monuments, the city's history and falling in love with all the museums and the city's rich history. I've been wanting to return to Paris for … [Read more...]

Curacao, One of my Favorite Islands in the Caribbean

December 25, 2017 by Dave24 Comments

Our introduction to Curaçao wasn't an awe inspiring inspirational place of stunning natural beauty (for instance a secluded white sand beach framed by a crescent shoreline and aquamarine waters). Rather it was in a rough part of Willemstad, the capital city. A friend and I found ourselves wandering around the dark streets late at night in search of food in a neighborhood near our hostel. We passed walls topped with razor sharp barbed wire - … [Read more...]

Scandinavian Cruise to the Baltic Capitals

June 2, 2017 by Jackie Reid4 Comments

A Scandinavian cruise to the Baltic Capitals sat on our travel list for several years, while easier and less expensive trips took precedence. For us to set sail towards our Viking roots, we needed a big occasion—like a 50th birthday.

But for my husband, 50 conjured dark and disturbing … [Read more...]

Florida’s Oldest and Largest Flea Market

January 25, 2017 by TL Stephens1 Comment

The Market, as we kids called it, has been in existence as long as I can remember. Looking through the eyes of youth, it seemed huge, with lots of sheds and tables and vendors.  To us, it was the perfect playground, especially during the long hot days of summer.  As I grew into adulthood, I began to realize what an important role the Market played in the lives of so many, especially the farmers who were its mainstays. The Need to Survive In … [Read more...]

Five Ways Travel Helps Your Writing

April 24, 2016 by Tom BentleyLeave a Comment

Shwedagon Pagoda, Myanmar There’s a plummy quote from Thoreau’s Walden that must open this discussion: “Not till we are lost ... not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves … Henry David was centering on getting lost in nature there, and thus freed of some of the day-to-day material constraints and pressures, but the message applies well to writers, and to the value of getting “lost” in travel. Value sometimes in getting … [Read more...]
