January 21, 2020 by Steve MirskyLeave a Comment

Garofoli Winery, one of the oldest family-owned winemakers in Italy's Marche region, dates back to 1871 and still specializes in 100% single vineyard Verdicchio, a drier white varietal ranging from still to sparkling renowned for distinctive purity and verve.

We've all been there before. You've got three hours before your next flight, and the little bag of complimentary pretzels from the last trip isn't going to hold you over until your final destination. While some may choose to pack their in-flight snacks, other travelers may want to explore what the various terminals have to offer.

Getting Around Aswan Without Getting Fleeced

January 12, 2020 by Abdul Rastagar3 Comments

My trip to Aswan, Egypt to see the ancient Temple of Isis at Philae was a good reminder to always look on the positive side, even when you feel like you are being taken advantage of by locals. The temple itself is magnificent and dramatically situated on an island in the middle of a lake. Because the vast majority of visitors to Aswan go as part of an organized and guided tour, there is scant information available for the independent, … [Read more...]

January 8, 2020 by Michael ReitermanLeave a Comment

Costa Rica’s reputation as a prime destination for outdoor enthusiasts is well-deserved. While surfing may be the first thing that comes to mind when considering a trip to Costa Rica, one shouldn’t neglect the ample inland beauty. 30% of the land area in this small county is protected by national parks, wildlife refuges, and preserves.  As such, hiking experiences abound, with seemingly endless opportunities to take in the stunning scenery. … [Read more...]

Ticos and Tica – the Culture and Food of Costa Rica

December 30, 2019 by Janet Serra1 Comment

Costa Rica's name, "Rich Coast" was coined by Columbus when he stopped near present-day Limon and saw the indigenous people wearing "golden mirrors around their necks."  As a destination, Costa Rica is rich in cultural and eco-tourism wildlife experiences with the added allure of the beautiful beaches of the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.  Best of all, Costa Rica is only a few short hours away from the East Coast by air. Being from the east … [Read more...]

Winter in Windsor

December 25, 2019 by Samantha Priestley2 Comments

We recently took a short wintry getaway in Windsor, home of the stunning 11th century Windsor Castle and famous for all things royal. But as we passed the large looming castle and the imposing statue of Queen Victoria, we decided to do Windsor differently. The fact is most tourists do visit for the castle, but if you’ve already taken a tour inside its fortress walls, it’s a bit beyond your budget, or the queues are just too much for you, … [Read more...]

Hoping to experience the island beyond his durational assignment, Alex applied for a distillers apprenticeship on Craigslist at Haleakalā Distillers. After following up, he was hired on the spot and worked his way up to distiller in 2 short years learning rum production using indigenous molasses. … [Read more...]

Kirkby Lonsdale, The Dog Friendly Town

December 15, 2019 by Samantha PriestleyLeave a Comment

If you love historic English towns with stunning views, traditional inns, and a slow and leisurely pace, you’ll love Kirkby Lonsdale. If you love your dog as well, you’ll really love Kirkby Lonsdale! Kirkby Lonsdale is an historic market town in Cumbria, the north of England, and it is bursting with character. It’s quiet, it’s quaint, and it’s almost entirely dog friendly.
