In Cancun, a few of the hotels located on the famed 'Hotel Zone' have created sea turtle protection and release … [Read more...]
Maritime Québec: A Feast for the Senses
Highlights of a three-day Québec road trip For three days this summer, it was a delight to be on the road in parts of Québec that I'd never visited: Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie, two of the province's maritime regions on the St. Lawrence River.

Taking Advantage of Bright Sun in Belfast Before the Rain Sets In
Upon landing in Belfast, Northern Ireland (or as some might say, 'Nord Iron') I was pleasantly surprised to see some sun peeking through the clouds.
