The Evolution of Travel

December 22, 2018 by Dave12 Comments

Long gone are the days of Internet cafes where one would see travelers hunched over keypads staring at klutzy box like computer screens - often in the mornings or evenings after spending the day sightseeing. Today one is more likely to see one staring at a mobile phone - with travelers having … [Read more...]

Located on opposite ends of the coast, both New York and San Francisco offer a rich variety of experiences and activities on but for different reasons.

My Top 5 Reasons to Take a Cruise

December 5, 2018 by Dave4 Comments

One of my favorite destinations for cruising is in the Caribbean - with island nations typically 60 to 100 miles apart, one can visit a different country nearly every day. It is a destination where one can just as easily opt for a short cruise or a longer one and still be exposed to different countries and cultures. And with plenty of beaches and year round warm weather, I've found myself in the Caribbean every November or December the past few … [Read more...]
