High Fashion on the High Seas- Planning your Cruise Wardrobe

January 15, 2010 by DaveLeave a Comment

DETROIT (Jan. 15, 2010) - For those interested in high-end fashion, a cruise knows no real 'season.' Exploring different clothing looks to mesh with exotic ports of call and world-class cruise ships is just another exciting part of the anticipation and preparation for your escape from reality on a cruise. The notion of 'fashion-forward' wardrobe options loosely transitioned to acceptable everyday items is what the phrase 'ready to wear' is … [Read more...]

Hong Kong in December: A Great In-Between

January 7, 2010 by Anne BennettLeave a Comment

While most tourists prefer to head someplace warm and cozy to escape the cold of winter, I love to do just the opposite and head to Hong Kong. I am strangely drawn to the chill, the rains, and the wind. Besides, I also love the fact that while it is chilly, it does not snow, and no snow means no blizzards which is perfect for me. Hong Kong in winter is a refreshing and wonderful respite after an extended stay in tropical heat where it's 98 … [Read more...]

Acapulco: Litterly the Mother of all Mexican Resorts

March 11, 2009 by Habeeb SalloumLeave a Comment

I was walking on the Costera Miguel Alemn, Acapulco's main thoroughfare, with a colleague who had last visited the city in the early 1960s when he remarked, "I can't believe how Acapulco now looks! When I was last here all I remember is the grit, annoying peddlers, polluted beaches and unsafe streets. Look at it now!" He continued, "Now what some travellers once described as 'a dazzling resort spreading on the green towering Sierra Madre del … [Read more...]

On Location with Iconic Californian Movies

December 8, 2008 by HostelBookersLeave a Comment

Head to the Golden State and stand on the corner with Douglas, have a drink with Crowe and go to jail with Spacey. One of the great motivators of sightseeing in America is finding a little street downtown or a log cabin upstate where a great movie was once filmed. Having your picture taken at a setting that once lent itself to an iconic movie scene is something that you can keep forever! Here's a look at some of the locations from popular … [Read more...]

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) – February 2008

February 1, 2008 by DaveLeave a Comment

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) - The Mangosteen is simply called the Queen of the fruit and you will know why when you taste it. We have sampled the Mangosteen's subtle sweet flavors worldwide especially in the tropical countries of SE Asia where when in season it is as common as oranges and bananas are in the West. Unfortunately it is still little known in the West despite the incredible marketing of the Mangosteen juice. It is not allowed … [Read more...]
