Moon Dance Cliffs a well-kept secret in Jamaica

April 27, 2014 by Paul KandarianLeave a Comment

Jamaica’s one of those places that gets a mixed response when you tell people you’re going. It’s either, “Man, I love Jamaica, it’s gorgeous” or “No way I’d go to Jamaica, it’s too dangerous.” Funny how that is. I’ve run into tons of gorgeous in Jamaica and never any danger. Granted, you can find danger wherever you are, or it finds you, but by and large, be careful, don’t be stupid and put yourself in known places of danger, you’ll be … [Read more...]

Napa River Inn Getaway

March 6, 2014 by Catherine Sweeney2 Comments

As San Francisco Bay Area locals living just south of the city, we have many opportunities for great day trips and getaways. One of the well-known areas within our reach for short visits is the Napa Valley wine region. Recently, we took a ride on the Napa Valley Wine Train and had a tour of Long Meadow Ranch during a two night stay at the Napa River Inn. I'd previously heard very positive reviews of the hotel and can now understand why it gets … [Read more...]

When most people think of Orlando, Florida, they probably see images from long-dead advertising campaigns for the likes of Disney World, Universal Studios and more than a few images of the beach, wild parties and rampant excess. But there is a much quieter, much quirkier side to the Sunshine State’s biggest tourist destination. When you check into your hotel in Orlando, you can be sure you’ll be looked after and enjoy a fine accommodation … [Read more...]

Little Denmark

February 2, 2014 by John EdwardsLeave a Comment

At a British- or Irish-style “public house” in an old colonial town, a fictional action figure named John M. Edwards sucks down suds with serendipity. I was standing at the bar at the Jolly Trolley in Westfield, New Jersey, staring at my Fuller’s London Pride, when I decided I was so drunk I would indeed have a hangover in the morning. The red label reminded me of the Protestant solidity of London and the infinite possibilities of drinking … [Read more...]
