This is book number two of the Sihpromatum series and hopefully not the last as there is still plenty of this family's round the world trip left to cover. Author Savannah Grace continues with stories from the perspective of a wide-eyed 15-year old (her age at the time of this part of their trip) who is in the enviable position of being able to experience a diversity of countries, cultures, foods and people at such a young age. This is the … [Read more...]

Greetings from Doha, Qatar – Just Another Beautiful Sunny Day
With no causeway over the open sea yet built between Bahrain and Qatar - the most convenient way between each country is via plane. It is a very short flight - something like 130km with maybe 30 minutes in air. My flight was empty - the few people on this Qatar Airways flight each had their own row as well as several rows of extra empty space around them. We were given little candies upon takeoff. Doha Airport is large, modern, gleaming and … [Read more...]

An Insiders Perspective: Night tour of Bahrain
In doing some research prior to my travel to Bahrain I stumbled upon a website advertising private tours.

Visiting the United States of America, Where to start?
As with other large countries, a visit to the USA can be daunting. Distances are great, attractions numerous, there are plenty of events to partake in regardless of the time of year and due to its size weather can sometimes be a concern. In my opinion quality always trumps quantity when traveling and because of America's large size I recommend visiting specific parts of the country rather than trying to see it all. And make multiple … [Read more...]
Tiny Al Dar Islands, Bahrain
Looking to capitalize on some unseasonably December weather in Bahrain I decided to make a day trip from Manama to the tiny Dar Islands, just off the coast of an industrial section of the country called Sitra. You come to these islands for relaxing and to enjoy the water - taking breaks from the searingly intense summer heat. A variety of activities are offered - including diving for pearls, kayaking and snorkeling. And there is a special … [Read more...]
Dubai Tourist Attractions
Where can you ski, sand board, shop till you drop, visit a man made island in the shape of a palm tree - all the while in the middle of the desert? All of this can be accomplished in a single day in Dubai - where in a relatively short amount of time this city has become a gleaming oasis in this part of the Middle East. I last visited the city several years ago - the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa had been renamed and it's … [Read more...]
