Death by Greece

August 25, 2010 by Nicole GallegoLeave a Comment

110 degrees. All day, all night. This was my first Grecian experience. That, and an old man waving his reproductive organ at us as he peed in the street outside of our hostel. Welcome to Athens. My friend Melissa and I were prepared for the overly friendly old men (we had just come from Spain after all), but the heat was another story. All day and night we would laid there, in our non-air conditioned hostel, with no fans, waiting for that … [Read more...]

Anguilla is a tropical paradise of tranquility

August 6, 2010 by Phyllis SteinbergLeave a Comment

Thirty three beaches beckon tourists I didn't see any Kentucky Fried Chicken or Burger King franchises on the island of Anguilla. In fact, I didn't locate any chain restaurants on the island. A local told me that Subway once opened a restaurant on the island, but it didn't last long. There also are no large cruise ships, no casinos and no nude bathing. Cruise ships can't go to the island because there isn't a port large enough to handle them. … [Read more...]

August 1, 2010 by DaveLeave a Comment

In contrast to the smooth seven mile strip of the nearby "Seven Mile Beach", Rick's is perched on top of the West End Cliffs, a jagged set of rorck that affords one excellent views of the ocean.
