Mark Twain Country, Missouri – October 2021

October 1, 2021 by DaveLeave a Comment

One of the world's greatest travelers, Mark Twain once said, (we won't reference the common Twain quote here) "...nothing so liberalizes a man and expands the kindly instincts that nature put in him as travel and contact with many kinds of people." During our International travels we sometimes come across Mark Twain monuments indicating his prior visit. The man got around. Mark Twain was born in what is still very rural Missouri. When you … [Read more...]

Living the Independent Lifestyle, Freelance Writing

June 12, 2020 by DaveLeave a Comment

When I started my travel site in 1996, there were very few independent online travel focused websites. Like many others (especially those beginning blogs), my site began as a personal journal - a place to compile notes from various trips with tips and tricks to help other travels avoid mistakes that I made on my own travels. Over the years I've retained this focus - but the site has also morphed into more of a travel community with writers … [Read more...]

Visit Pearl Harbor and be Moved

December 7, 2014 by Kevin Nelson2 Comments

It is hard to predict when the sadness and solemnity will hit you when you visit Pearl Harbor. For me it was when we set out on the Navy vessel across the channel that on a December morning in 1941 turned into hell on earth, a bloody chaos of explosions and smoke and fire and bombs.             December 7 is Pearl Harbor Day, and 2014 will mark the 73rd anniversary of the attack that brought the United States into World War II. Ceremonies will … [Read more...]

Jamaica’s Coolest Joint

July 3, 2013 by Geren LockhartLeave a Comment

JAMAICA – Last Christmas I realized I needed a little sun. I regretted missing two invitations to go to Jamaica — here was my chance! I enlisted one of my best friends to share in the adventure. We chose Negril, the beach resort for locals on the island (it's their Malibu or Montauk). Negril used to be a hippie enclave and has slowly evolved into a boho jet-set destination with great Chris Blackwell hotels and restaurants — my music video … [Read more...]
