The Paris-based long-haul airline launched its flight between Newark Liberty International Airport and Paris-Orly on July 15.

Travelling and living in Melbourne, Australia
Several years ago I spent a year travelling and living in Melbourne, Australia. One of Australia's great cities - it is not to big and not to small either.

Lago di Como, Bellagio – Italy – June 2020
This International hot spot for inspirational natural beauty is world renown. The lake itself resembles the figure of a headless person in mid stride - with the two legs forming the main parts of the lake.

Getting Around Aswan Without Getting Fleeced
My trip to Aswan, Egypt to see the ancient Temple of Isis at Philae was a good reminder to always look on the positive side, even when you feel like you are being taken advantage of by locals. The temple itself is magnificent and dramatically situated on an island in the middle of a lake.

A Little Bit of Malta on my Mind
I proceeded to a tiny room at my hotel in central Valletta, oddly enough having to pass through the restaurant first. Many elderly ladies were absorbed in a riveting game of Bridge and I had to slink past their tables without bumping into them. Finding a balcony I stood overlooking the scenic water and Fort Saint Angelo in the distance while absorbing the smells of the salty water, the warmth of the Mediterranean sunshine and the tantalizing … [Read more...]
