While much of the World is shrouded in Winter and the unpredictable weather that accompanies it, many Winter destinations make great Christmas getaways. Likewise, you also have the choice to escape Winter by retreating closer to the equator and getting some sun during what is traditionally the … [Read more...]

Battling the Tide Tables: The Lost Coast Trail
The Lost Coast is located in Northern California along the Pacific Ocean. It is nestled in the remote King Mountain Range. Route 1 runs north along the California coast but had to be diverted back to Hwy 101 south of here due to the rugged terrain in this area. The only roads in this area are 2 lane, twisting, winding steep, blind mountain roads. They are easily navigable by a car very slow going. The Lost Coast is broken into 2 sections, … [Read more...]

Walking from Pennsylvania to New Jersey & Back
I recently spent my first full day in Easton, PA. Although, I’d driven through Easton hundreds of times over the past 19 years, I never spent a full day exploring on foot. Known to many as the birthplace of former boxing heavyweight champion, Larry Holmes and home of the Crayola Factory, Easton lies on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware River. The Lehigh River meets the Delaware River just south of the Northampton Street Bridge, which connects … [Read more...]
A Restful Night’s Sleep on a Stearns & Foster Mattress
Earlier this year I was introduced to a Stearns & Foster Mattress with a stay in the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco. This particular Fairmont is located on top of Nob Hill which already gives you nice views of parts of San Francisco simply based on the elevation. However one can be treated to more spectacular views by staying in a room on one of their uppermost floors. Visually I feasted on memorable views from the 14th floor overlooking Coit … [Read more...]
Submit Pieces to StoryBy and Earn Income
I've recently discovered StoryBy, an online community of contributors with a diverse range of content. They maintain a program for writers in which you can earn income based on your submitted stories (based on a points system and popularity of content). I had to see how the submission system works (having used similar services in the past which were quite clunky and difficult to use) so I created an account. Submitting a piece is simple … [Read more...]
Turkish Bath Experience
Hammam VisitA trip to the Turkish Bath Vacation adventures are the perfect time to slow down and relax. During our visit to Turkey, the hammam seemed like the perfect spot to do just that! Hammams have been a part of the local culture for hundreds of years. In the days before telephones, social media, and every home having indoor plumbing, this experience was perhaps more social that hygienic. Hammams are everywhere. The one we visited … [Read more...]

Time to exhale in the South of France
Provence triggers images of lavender, sun flowers and olive trees. Many have read the enjoyable novels written by Peter Mayle, visited anything Van Gogh in Arles and mused over the paintings of Cézanne. Everybody knows all areas of the Provence, or so they believe. There is a part of Provence less famous and therefore much less crowded than the Lubéron and the Midi. It is not a fancy area with famous wines or Michelin star restaurants but … [Read more...]
