Emotion and Historical Insight at Ronald Reagan Museum

April 22, 2020 by Kevin Nelson1 Comment

Cycling Trails in the USA: Where to Go for Cycling?

March 19, 2019 by Tomas KLeave a Comment

Inspired by the Tour of France of 1978, some fella called Freddie Mercury used to chant on how much he wanted to ride his “bicycle, bicycle, bicycle”. The truth is you do not have to be an expert for riding a bicycle, to go from one place to another on two wheels, you do not have to be a scholar; everything is learned on the way. The route strengthens us as people and even sometimes shows us facets that we did not believe we had. In any case, … [Read more...]

Enoversity: The Best Wine Tasting Class in Chicago

November 9, 2017 by Jaime ScilingoLeave a Comment

Chicago is Bon Appetit's 2017 Restaurant City of the Year.  While the magazine gives a list of multiple restaurants worth visiting, it makes no mention of cocktails or drinks.  Perhaps it is because I live here and am spoiled by the great food, but I am always on the hunt for a well-priced wine or cocktail bar.  For people like Dave who is trying to visit every winery in the world famous Napa Valley, finding a decent wine tasting is not a … [Read more...]

A Grand Venue for Country Tunes

July 30, 2016 by Paul KandarianLeave a Comment

Even if you’re not a fan of the style, there’s something about live country music in the actual country that makes it vastly entertaining. I’m not into country music, but last summer, atop a nearly 10,000-foot mountain under a Colorado sky bluer than any I’d ever seen before, with snow-dotted southern Rocky Mountains on the horizon and nothing but fresh air and great tunes all around, I converted in a hurry. At least for that day. The … [Read more...]

June 10, 2013 by Andrea MacEachern2 Comments

I’ve taken a number of great vacations in my lifetime.

A Road Trippers Case for Traveling by Car

February 28, 2013 by Eric White3 Comments

Highway 191, AZ

Taking a road trip is my favorite way to put "things" back into perspective. It's easy to let yourself get caught up in the trivialities of daily life and forget that this is bigger than the individual. A road trip can be just the thing to spark some creativity, break out of the mundane with some spontaneity or even deal with pain. There's comfort in seeing new things and the best way to challenge yourself and your views is by meeting new people … [Read more...]
