Jerk Trail and Jerk Festival Offer Visitors Unique Ways to Sample Island Spice KINGSTON, JAMAICA (June 11, 2013) – Jamaica is known for several distinct flavors, but jerk truly sets it apart.

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. The 9-day … [Read more...]

Pie-eyed for Pizza: A Love Story

May 7, 2013 by Kate Silver2 Comments

“I could eat pizza seven days a week.” The sentence grabbed me, but I couldn’t decide whether that was a good thing or a bad thing. It was on a site where few sentences grabbed me: Match.com. I jumped to two possible conclusions: a) NBlikesbikes is really boring, or b) NBlikesbikes is really quirky. I have a soft spot for the quirky, and while I was mentally kneading a) vs. b), NBlikesbikes e-mailed me. After a few messages, he asked me … [Read more...]

Traveling in the North Country Fair… Part 2 The Spirit of the Catskills

January 15, 2013 by Richard BangsLeave a Comment

Before arriving at a new place we all carry the luggage of pre-conceptions. There are usually holes in this kit; we’re almost always wrong, at least to some extent, about our notions. My idea of the Catskills came from two very different periods, the live television run of the 1950s; and the Summer of Love in 1969, the year of Woodstock. As a young boy I would run home from school every day to turn on the TV and drink in whatever show or … [Read more...]
