Getting the Full Monti: a Guide to Rome’s Hippest Neighbourhood

October 13, 2015 by A Couple for the Road3 Comments

Ai Tre Scalini Monti

Just a stone's throw away from the chaos that is Rome’s Colosseum, lies the uber hip and largely unknown neighbourhood of Monti, buzzing with independent boutiques, trendy eateries and fashionable wine bars, and adored by local Romans and hipster tourists alike. You will find a true cross section of Rome wandering the cobbled streets of Monti; from super trendy arty types searching for their next vintage find, to Roman families looking for a … [Read more...]

Maritime Québec: A Feast for the Senses

September 23, 2015 by Catherine Sweeney8 Comments

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. Driving north from our starting point in Québec City to our first destination about 100 miles north, the village of Kamoraska, my travel companions and I were soon passing through rural areas with … [Read more...]

Most Scenic Drive in the World? Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way!

August 2, 2015 by Richard Bangs2 Comments

This is a story about brilliant branding. It’s about Ireland, but it begins in Chile. In the early 90s one had to head to the far south of South America to sample the tasty, thick, snow-white fillets of a large, deep-water cod called the Patagonian toothfish . No eatery in the U.S. wanted to serve a fish with that name. But when marketers came up with the alluring but meaningless name, “Chilean sea bass,” the fish was on its way to … [Read more...]

3 Great Sierra Nevada Getaways

March 13, 2015 by Catherine Sweeney1 Comment

During a busy and fun-filled getaway weekend, my husband (“Mr. TWS”) and I visited El Dorado County, South Lake Tahoe, and Carson Valley, Nevada. These three Sierra Nevada locations, easily reached from the San Francisco Bay Area and many other places in Northern California and Nevada, can be enjoyed as individual destinations or an itinerary trio. We packed a lot into three days (and would recommend taking much more time), but we got a good feel … [Read more...]

Vulgar Wheat: A Trace of Thrace Bugaria

June 14, 2014 by John EdwardsLeave a Comment

John M. Edwards chows down on subpar "Vulgarian" grub and survives a dangerous dispute over a restaurant bill in the Balkans. Oh well, there is always the region's lip-smacking yogurt. . . . Bulgaria has by far the best yogurt in the world, partly because they invented it. They also are (supposedly) responsible for the regional cuisine shared by many of its neighbors: Bulgar wheat, stuffed grape leaves, baklava, kebabs, goat cheese, and … [Read more...]

The Delights of the Menzies Welcombe HotelSpa & GolfClub

March 3, 2014 by Carolan NathanLeave a Comment

For many years as a youngster my Mum and Dad would take me to tea at this superb property deep in the heart of Warwickshire. Only a stone’s throw from Stratford Upon Avon the hotel offers all the many delights that country house hotels are famous for. The 157 acres grounds themselves are glorious with many secret pathways leading to extraordinary sights of the rolling hills of this shire. Growing up in Warwickshire was for me always an … [Read more...]

Gladys’ Café a St. Thomas hot spot

January 25, 2014 by Paul KandarianLeave a Comment

If you’ve ever tripped along Main Street in Charlotte Amalie, the bustling capital city of St. Thomas in the Caribbean, you know how crowded it can be in season, especially when cruise ships berth, spilling thousands of tourists into the narrow streets seeking deals. At times like that it’s best to cut down some side streets and find places like the Royal Dane Mall, off jewelry store-centric Main, a sun-starved warren of ancient brick … [Read more...]

Sacramento & The Gold Country, Moon Handbooks

August 5, 2013 by DaveLeave a Comment

Sacramento & The Gold Country, by Christopher Arns Initial impressions of Sacramento perhaps: Inland. Old town. Brick buildings. The state's capital city. A good thing considering its somewhat central geographical location in the state, rather than being located in one of the major urban coastal areas. More recently occupied by a body builder, turned actor turned politician. But he has gone away now and there is a "new" governor - or rather an … [Read more...]
