Day Trip to Eneko Island, Majuro Atoll

May 1, 2025 by Dave3 Comments

The Marshall Islands are one of the planet's most remote island countries, but even within 'remote' one can find places even further removed from people. And Eneko Island is the perfect example. For reference the Marshall Islands are closer to Papua New Guinea than Hawaii, are slightly north of the equator and are located west of the international date line. Nonstop flights are available from Honolulu, Guam and Kiribati. Unless you live in these … [Read more...]

A Guide to Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro

November 1, 2023 by Dave2 Comments

One of a number of my trips to Africa was built around a singular goal - that of reaching the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro, one of the seven summits (the tallest mountains on each continent). Hint, I did reach the summit but not without overcoming hardship on the way. While not the tallest mountain on the planet and with routes that aren't particularly technical, its summit still tops out at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet). It is the altitude that can be … [Read more...]

Why Vegas remains the Top Travel Destination

March 16, 2023 by Sarah WilliamsonLeave a Comment

One look at the dazzling lights and the hive of activity that is modern day Las Vegas and you’d scarcely believe that just 200 years ago not a single non-native American had settled on the land. A group of traders led by Antonio Armijo were the first to visit the area in 1829 and named it Las Vegas which means “The Meadows" in Spanish. It wasn’t until 1905 that Las Vegas would be officially founded as a railroad town, and its size would grow … [Read more...]
