Safari in Botswana – Hospitable, Warm, Welcoming Botswana

Safari in Botswana – Hospitable, Warm, Welcoming Botswana

You may wonder what there is to do in Botswana. This large country has only one major city, Gabarone, and Botswana is not greatly publicized when it comes to tourism. I’m not even sure how I found out what a great destination Botswana is. But at some point in my travel research, I decided I had to go on safari in Botswana, most famous for the Okavango Delta and Kalahari Desert. Genuine hospitality, beautiful scenery, not to mention an exciting … [Read more...]

Four Seasons in Two Days at Yosemite

May 15, 2017 by Fern Lee3 Comments

Four Seasons in Two Days at Yosemite

This was our first time in Yosemite. And we were told that Spring is an ideal time to visit - with the mighty waterfalls filled to the brim by the melting snow and the abundance of wildlife this time of year. We assumed the days would be filled with sunshine (warm at lower elevations) but cooler at higher elevations with the the tops of the mountains still covered with snow. However we soon discovered that the weather this time of year in … [Read more...]

A Taste of Hiking in Colorado

A Taste of Hiking in Colorado

I love Colorado. I also love hiking. I’d like to share two of my favorite hikes in Colorado. MAROON BELLS (Aspen, CO)  Aspen is gorgeous, so of course, hiking in Aspen is spectacular.  The views while hiking the Maroon Bells are simply breathtaking.  I took the 6 mile round trip to the pristine Crater Lake.  The hike began with ease.  However, it quickly became an uphill, rocky climb and proved to be quite difficult.  It is not impossible, as … [Read more...]

Surprised in a good way by Taipei

Surprised in a good way by Taipei

I have flown into Taipei many times over the years but never really explored the city or the surrounding countryside. For some reason I never had any interest in doing so. However, after spending 4 days in Taipei recently, I must admit that my perception of the city has changed dramatically. For those who have never been to this part of the world, Taiwan makes an excellent first choice/introduction to Asia. It is easy to get around and … [Read more...]

Cruising into Old San Juan, Puerto Rico

January 2, 2017 by Dave9 Comments

Cruising into Old San Juan, Puerto Rico

The day dawned clear on the Holland America Line MS Eurodam after the stormy nauseating seas of the past few days. This was a welcome relief visually and for the stomach which has been struggling with all the back and forth rocking. We pulled around the point of the north east part of the island and passed the historical fort. From a distance we could have been pulling into a port in Greece or perhaps the Middle East - the white buildings … [Read more...]

Chasing Waterfalls in Samana

September 9, 2016 by Jacki Ueng3 Comments

Chasing Waterfalls in Samana

There is a famous song in the 90's by TLC which advised not to chase waterfalls, but to stick with the rivers and lakes that you are used to. But what if you could have it all? I believe that we should chase waterfalls, metaphorically and physically. If we don't chase after waterfalls to places and dreams we aspire for, then how would we ever reach paradise? I set out on a journey to Dominican Republic in June for the first time to a … [Read more...]
