Place du Casino in Monte Carlo – a gambler’s paradise

October 4, 2017 by Tom LLeave a Comment

Monaco may be the second-smallest country in the world, but it's one that many people have on their list of places they simply have to visit. The rich and the famous have been attracted to Monaco since the early 20th century, with its beautiful setting offering one of the most iconic views on the planet. Surrounded on three sides by France and occupying just under 0.75 square miles of the Cote d'Azur, the principality hosts the Monaco Grand … [Read more...]

Traveling Solo, Worth it or Not?

September 25, 2017 by DaveLeave a Comment

Over the years, most of my trips have tended to be solo ones. There are both positive and negative factors to traveling this way. The most obvious one is the freedom of traveling solo. You only have yourself to answer to - you make your own schedules and you aren't at the whim of others. As an independent traveler, you can make decisions on the fly. Disadvantages to traveling solo include expenses - you don't have anyone to split the cost of … [Read more...]

My Thoughts on Cruising

September 20, 2017 by DaveLeave a Comment

I've been on a number of cruises over the years from a wine-centric river cruise in Bordeaux France, to an adventure cruise in Antarctica to a more relaxing tropical cruise in the Caribbean. However one cruise that has eluded me to date is a cruise around the world. I remember as a young child visiting with my grandparents at one of our local ports - just before they were set to embark around the world on a several month trip of a lifetime, … [Read more...]

Put Cornwall in the UK on your Bucket List

September 15, 2017 by DaveLeave a Comment

I have traveled in the UK a number of times - usually short stop overs on my way to other parts of Europe - most often using London as my base for day trips to the surrounding regions. During my last visit, despite being miserably sick - I was able to explore Cardiff and even do some rock climbing in Brecon Beacons and explore an old coal mine. But for all the times I've been to London I have not yet gotten down to Cornall (about a 6 hour … [Read more...]

My Time Exploring the Baltics

September 10, 2017 by DaveLeave a Comment

While exploring Eastern Europe with a friend a few years back, I decided to visit Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Each country is relatively small and the highlights seen in a few days. And the nice part is this part of Europe is really not that far from the UK. I stopped over at Heathrow Airport on my way to Helsinki - I remember the flight time was only a few hours. After spending a few days in Helsinki - including a memorable stay in a … [Read more...]

Looking at Visiting Toronto for the First Time

September 5, 2017 by DaveLeave a Comment

Remarkably I have not yet visited one of the largest cities in North America, Toronto and the largest city in Canada. One of our earliest contributors to this site Habeeb Salloum lives in Toronto and has invited me in the past to visit this diverse city. In looking at airfare for great deals on flights to Toronto I began researching the prices from Los Angeles (LAX) to to Toronto (YTO). Remarkably flights are priced under $300. And round trip … [Read more...]
