May 27, 2013 by Jennifer T.Leave a Comment

With its near year-round sun, great nightlife and incredible atmosphere, it is little surprise that Benidorm remains one of the most popular places for Brits to visit. As much fun as whiling away the lazy hours by the pool and sea are though, there is so much more to discover from this corner of Spain. A particularly great activity is a Jeep Safari, which takes place in the nearby Costa Blancan countryside. A rough terrain, it is a great way … [Read more...]

Finding the roots of our heritage

May 27, 2013 by Dave3 Comments

I have been fortunate to track down some of my father's heritage - from Luxembourg to Los Angeles. Now it was turn for my mother's side of the family. They come from a very beautiful part of Italy - in the hills along the Italian Riviera. We visited the small town of Casarza Ligure; the "Gallo" name is everywhere which is my mother's maiden name. The homesite of my great Grandfather, Guiseppe Gallo is situated high on a hill above Casarza and … [Read more...]

Greenland – The World’s Coolest Place

May 24, 2013 by John Thompson6 Comments

Leaving the comfort of blue skies at 37,000 feet, above a thick cloud layer, we started our slow descent down into Greenland. It was hard to believe that we were actually stopping in Greenland, a place that I had only flown over so many times between the USA and Europe. It isn't a place I ever thought I would actually stop in. I always thought it was a place where no one ever went, somewhere inhospitable to life. It was hard to believe we … [Read more...]

Driving through Tuscany & Antinori Winery Visit

May 24, 2013 by DaveLeave a Comment

It was hard to leave San Marino - it is such a unique and small country. Interesting museums, eclectic shopping, great views and good food! We opted for the slow drive through Tuscany - covering windy roads up and down the rolling hills, cresting passes and driving through several National Parks. The roads are narrow, steep at times but always through picturesque countryside. This time of year everything is green or in bloom. Spring has … [Read more...]

Tulip Time on Holland and Belgium Waterways

May 22, 2013 by Phyllis SteinbergLeave a Comment

Millions of flowering tulips in a myriad of colors can be enjoyed in a spectacular setting at Keukenhof Gardens in Amsterdam, but check your calendar because this dazzling display can only be seen in the spring during late March and April in Holland. A delightful excursion into this cornucopia of colors is made easy by riverboat.  My husband and I recently returned from a “Tulip Time” cruise aboard the AMA Prima, launched in 2013.
