Some attractions won’t cost you a single cent but for those that do charge admission, CityPASS offers a money-saving, time saving booklet that visitors on a budget … [Read more...]

Corpus Christi is Really Unique!

April 11, 2017 by Rich Pearce6 Comments

Baby Sea Turtle - Corpus Christi, Texas

All I knew about Corpus Christi, Texas, before I visited my step-daughter, Michelle, and her family there this summer was that it was a seaside vacation town on the Gulf of Mexico. I expected to find a typical American beach resort, replete with masses of tourists and messy hedonistic vitality. And, that’s what I found - in part. Corpus Christi certainly deserves its reputation as a fun and entertaining place to vacation. And, despite its size … [Read more...]

Israel, The Holy Land

October 7, 2016 by Jacki Ueng1 Comment

There is a magical land located in the Middle East; it is but a relatively small dot on the map, but has played an enormous role politically and religiously throughout recorded history. This is a place described in the Old Testament as the Holy Land, home to the Israelites. This is Israel - a landscape of deserts, beaches and at times, snow-capped mountains. Israel is a travel destination sought out by a diversity of travelers: the foodie, the … [Read more...]

Swim with Dolphins: Good Idea?

October 3, 2016 by Natalie Tanner2 Comments

It doesn’t take much looking these days when exploring travel options to come across adventures involving animals.

Nine Reasons to Visit the Azores Now

September 7, 2016 by Jaime Scilingo15 Comments

Name the group of nine European islands merely four-and-a-half hours from Boston Logan Airport. Stumped? You are not alone.  Most of America has never heard of the Azores, couldn't locate them on a map, and wouldn't know what part of Europe claims them as countrymen.  For the few who do know of the Atlantic eden 900 miles west of Portugal, this Zion is a cherished gift and a dichotomous burden.  On one hand, the beauty and virginal nature of the … [Read more...]

A 3-Day Itinerary on Kangaroo Island, South Australia

August 16, 2016 by Patricia Pagenel2 Comments

We started our 3-week stay in Australia with 3 days on Kangaroo Island. The appeal of Australia was without surprise its rich and unique wildlife. Kangaroo Island seems to encompass many of what we looked for. Why Kangaroo Island? The third largest island in Australia with 155 km long and 55 km wide (96 miles by 34 miles), Kangaroo Island is not on the tourist trail and has stayed untouched from the big tourism. Indeed, a third of the island … [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...]

Trolling Humans for Whales, and Other Divine Madness from the North Country

October 14, 2014 by Richard Bangs1 Comment

The Mad Hatter: “Have I gone mad?” Alice Kingsley: “I’m afraid so. You’re entirely bonkers. But I’ll tell you a secret. All the best people are.” The Mad Hatter: “There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger! Some say to survive it you need to be as mad as a hatter. Which luckily I am.” This seems crazy. In the stern of a Mark V Zodiac on the Arctic Sea I’m slipping into a dry suit, fitting into … [Read more...]
