Ko Lan Getaway: A Weekend of Sun, Sand, and Crowds

February 1, 2025 by Dave5 Comments

Waiting until the last minute and short on some upcoming vacation time, I scored what I thought was a bargain, at a room located next to the beach on Ko Lan. This was the last budget option I saw listed through various booking sites. And only a few other resorts had rooms, all of which were extremely expensive. Satisfied, I pulled a Spy wine cooler out of the fridge, grabbed a book and hit the hammock for the next few hours. The next morning I … [Read more...]

Experiencing Turkey on Water: A Journey of Luxury and Discovery

January 21, 2025 by DaveLeave a Comment

My first trip to Turkey was 15 years ago in the dead of the winter. Istanbul was my first primary destination; that winter the city experienced record snowfall. But despite the weather challenges it was an introduction to thepeople, the culture, the food and the country's natural beauty. I've explored parts of the planet by boat; it offers a unique perspective to sail into destinations rather than drive or fly. My next trip to Turkey will … [Read more...]

Unveiling LA: Adventures in the City of Angels

January 1, 2025 by Dave2 Comments

The city was eerily ghost-town like, or at least as close as a major city like Los Angeles can be. Although it wasn't nearly as empty as when we had LA and other freeways to ourselves during March through June of 2020, when we took full advantage of shelter in place policies, no traffic and cheap gas to explore this great country. The second to last week of the year is always one of our favorite times to explore Los Angeles because there’s very … [Read more...]
