Seeing the World One Step at a Time

A Grape Grows in Myanmar

April 12, 2016 by Allison Tibaldi2 Comments

The vines of Burgundy, Tuscany and Napa Valley produce some of the world’s most polished pours. While you can use many superlatives to describe these oenophile’s Disneyland, it’s a stretch of the imagination to describe any of these famed wine-producing regions as undiscovered. While Myanmar is no threat to Bordeaux as the next global grape deity, I was surprised that any wine at all is being produced here. The pagoda-laden landscape may not … [Read more...]

5 Unexpected Discoveries in Torrance

December 15, 2015 by Katie Weber5 Comments

I’ll admit I was a little skeptical when I was initially invited to join the Taste of Torrance tour hosted by Discover Torrance, a non-profit organization funded by local hotels to help promote the city, but there can be no great discovery or adventure without an open mind, so off I went. I was fortunate to be staying at the Doubletree Torrance, whose General Manager had not only been there for the past 19 years, but was also the head of the … [Read more...]

Dolphin Reef Spa in Eilat, Israel

June 8, 2015 by Jacki UengLeave a Comment

Those who have visited Israel, or watched the satirical movie "Don't Mess with Zohan", will recognize another side of Israelis - one that is not so apparent unless you have befriended them or come in contact with them. Deep inside, they are a bunch of fun-loving hippies and love life like there's no tomorrow. It's all about the Work Hard, Play Hard mentality. That is one of the many reasons I love Israel so much. My third visit to the country was … [Read more...]

Find the Quiet Side of Venice in Santa Elena

April 12, 2015 by Ron Engeldinger1 Comment

For most visitors, the Venice that they visit is jam-packed with crowds. The city is packed with spectacular sights and is one of the most popular tourist sites in Italy. It is one of my favorite European destinations. The city is wonderful any time of the year so I always schedule my visits for the off-season. Even then, I have been amazed at the number of visitors. Someone recently described Venice to me as a "Disneyland for adults" with … [Read more...]

The Allure of Disney World in Orlando

February 13, 2015 by DaveLeave a Comment

Having made multiple trips to Florida over the years (the first one was in the middle of the summer in the Everglades - think heat, high humidity and a serious mosquito problem, you would have thought that trip would have turned me off of the sunshine state forever). Fortunately that was not the case and I've been able to spend some time exploring Miami and the Keys on several occasions. I have always wanted to visit Walt Disney World located … [Read more...]
