Road Trip Part 3: San Diego and Encinitas

October 26, 2018 by Steve Taylor3 Comments

International travelers are more than happy to tell you all about the people, places, and cultures of the world. There is nothing that can compare to the experience of exploring ancient cities in far away countries. To be emersed in the customs of a foreign land is an escape from one's self and education in life. In the U.S. we are so fascinated by the cultures of other countries that we often take for granted the diversity within our borders. … [Read more...]

Road Trip Part 2: Tucson to Alpine

October 23, 2018 by Steve TaylorLeave a Comment

When I decided to take my first cross-country road trip, in April of 2012, the destination was originally set as Tucson, AZ. A close friend had moved there a few years prior, and he really seemed to love it. Having spent most of my life in Northern Indiana, I was fed up with cold weather and dreamed of visiting a climate that was completely different. My trip was as much about scouting for a possible move as it was a new adventure. When I arrived … [Read more...]

The Greatest Spot in Los Angeles

October 17, 2018 by Abdul Rastagar1 Comment

Los Angeles is like few cities in the world. The mere name instantly conjures up more world-famous sights than I can name - the Hollywood sign, the Walk of Fame, the Getty Center and Museum, the California Science Center, Malibu, Pacific Coast Highway, Sunset Boulevard, Santa Monica and its pier, the boardwalk at Venice Beach, Universal Studios, Rodeo Drive, the Griffith Observatory, the Disney Concert Hall, Huntington Library and Gardens, and on … [Read more...]

Experiencing the Real Nevis Through Artisan Dining and Locally Run Inns

October 2, 2018 by Steve MirskyLeave a Comment

Situated in the refreshing trade wind breezes of the Leeward Island chain in the West Indies, Nevis remains authentically Caribbean eschewing the homogenization that has befallen so many other island destinations. This means absolutely no strip development, fast food chains, casinos, or stoplights and only one international brand resort on this 36 square mile island. Nevis's 12,000 residents live in villages where no buildings exceed the height … [Read more...]

Exploring Elche

August 26, 2018 by Steph Cooke1 Comment

Also known as the City of Palms, Elche- or Elx in the Valencian dialect- is becoming an increasingly popular holiday destination. Elche is situated in Spain’s Costa Blanca region, approximately 23km inland from Alicante. A regular train service connects the two cities, and there are good motorway links to Torrevieja and Cartagena. It is situated conveniently close to two airports- the recently renamed Alicante-Elche airport and … [Read more...]

An Oasis in Death Valley is Restored Beyond Its Original Grandeur

April 21, 2018 by Steve Mirsky2 Comments

When exploring the vast open spaces of the Western United States, millions of travelers visit iconic National Parks like the Grand Canyon or Yosemite. For the uninitiated, Death Valley National Park may appear to simply be a wasteland with record breaking temperatures famous for frying eggs on blacktop. But dig deeper and you have one of the country’s largest National Parks with extremely comfortable daytime winter and early spring temperatures … [Read more...]

Sheraton Bay Point Resort: Florida’s Tranquil Retreat in Panama City Beach

Tucked away in tranquility overlooking the serene saltwater tidal estuary of St. Andrew's Bay flanked by Florida's most popular State Park and 7 mile barrier Shell Island in the distance, Sheraton Bay Point Resort is also just a shuttle bus away from the bustling beach front strip of Panama City Beach. Originally built and operated under different brands, Sheraton took over the Bay Point Resort in 2015 with a $30 million overhaul … [Read more...]

Liard River Hot Springs: A Must-See on the Alaska Highway

February 19, 2018 by Sarah and Choppy2 Comments

At 1,400 miles long, the Alaska Highway, also known as the ALCAN, traverses some of the most inhospitable and least-populated parts of Canada and the United States. It remains one of the great North American roads. A trip up the Alaska Highway is a bucket list item for many people who enjoy a road trip and an adventure. There are dozens of amazing places to stop along the Alaska Highway, but one of those places is unlike any other: Liard River … [Read more...]

Dreaming of My Own Private Island in Aruba

February 7, 2018 by Allison TibaldiLeave a Comment

Aruba is a Caribbean gem. The white sand beaches and crystal-clear blue water make it a legitimate standout. If you thought the Caribbean was all lush tropical foliage, you’re in for a surprise when you see Aruba’s desert landscape. Aruba is arid, but it’s loaded with stunning floral eye candy. Its famed Divi Divi trees act like a natural compass, dipping graciously in a southwesterly direction, given a push by Aruba’s steady trade winds. … [Read more...]

Aruba on my Mind

October 3, 2017 by Dave8 Comments

Having explored much of the Caribbean but not yet the ABC's (Aruba, Bonaire & Curaçao) - I opted to take a week long late summer trip to Aruba. The weather on the island is certainly highly appealing with usually fairly constant temperatures moderated by trade winds, little rain on an annual basis, lots of sunshine and is located outside of the hurricane belt. Although I did have to reroute my original return flight plan which was through Houston … [Read more...]
