For many, a trip to Hawaii is an absolute dream. Stunning sandy beaches, rich tropical fruits and majestic marine life are all in abundance on these islands.

Enjoy a European Geo Thermal Spa Experience in the heart of Southern California

November 15, 2024 by Joanne and Tony TravelsLeave a Comment

Murrieta Hot Springs, California,  Geothermal Resort Review I first discovered the benefits of thermal springs as a young bride living in Southern Germany.  My life there included visits to picturesque towns which evoked scenes right out of the “Sound of Music.”  But nothing quite surpassed the rejuvenation and relaxation I felt after a dip in one of the many thermal pools that dotted the Bavarian countryside. I had the pleasure of … [Read more...]

Discovering Art, Crafts, and Culture in Puerto Vallarta’s Zona Romantica

November 10, 2024 by Kathy AndersonLeave a Comment

Puerto Vallarta has long been a favorite travel destination of mine, a city where tropical beauty meets rich tradition. Nestled along the sparkling blue waters of Banderas Bay and framed by lush green mountains, this vibrant port town bursts with charm, art, and a rhythm all its own. After more than 30 years of visiting, both by land and sea, I always find something new that stirs my heart. Located in the Mexican state of Jalisco, Puerto … [Read more...]

Beyond the Vines: Paso Robles’ Playground of Lights, Bites, and Delights

October 26, 2024 by Tom BentleyLeave a Comment

Paso Robles, you know it: that quaint, semi-rustic town you stop at for a bite and a glass of wine on your drives between LA and San Francisco. Well, in between drives, Paso Robles has grown up, and in the best of ways. These days, Paso is more of a first (though less expensive) cousin of Napa’s St. Helena—you’ll definitely want a second glass of wine. And you’ll want to stay a spell. The town retains its California Western feel, but now … [Read more...]

Exploring Paradise: Key West Boat Tours

July 20, 2024 by DaveLeave a Comment

Whenever I am in south Florida, I always take a day or two to drive down to the keys. I usually fly into the Fort Lauderdale airport as its smaller and easier to navigate than Miami. My favorite time to visit is in December and or January when much of the rest of the U.S. is experiencing cold weather. Key West, the southernmost point of the continental United States, is a tropical paradise known for its vibrant culture, historic sites, and … [Read more...]

Exploring the High Country: ATV and UTV Tours in Leadville, Colorado

July 19, 2024 by Dave2 Comments

One of my favorite states in the U.S. is Colorado. During my last big road trip I spent several weeks driving, hiking and biking through its mountains. Nestled high in the Rocky Mountains at an elevation of over 10,000 feet, Leadville, Colorado, is a hidden gem for adventure enthusiasts. This historic mining town offers a plethora of outdoor activities, but none are as exhilarating as the ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) and UTV (Utility Task Vehicle) … [Read more...]
