If you haven’t yet visited Tokyo, the time is ripe. This dynamic city is gearing up for the 2020 Summer Olympics so it’s a fine time to discover its wealth of offerings. From the swanky shops in Ginza to the teen fashion Mecca Harajuku, there’s a neighborhood to please every tourist’s taste. There’s so much to do and see in this bustling metropolis, you could stay for months--or years-- and still not see it all. Make sure you allow plenty of … [Read more...]

My Top 5 Reasons to Take a Cruise

December 5, 2018 by Dave4 Comments

One of my favorite destinations for cruising is in the Caribbean - with island nations typically 60 to 100 miles apart, one can visit a different country nearly every day. It is a destination where one can just as easily opt for a short cruise or a longer one and still be exposed to different countries and cultures. And with plenty of beaches and year round warm weather, I've found myself in the Caribbean every November or December the past few … [Read more...]

Romantic tour Verona: city of Romeo and Juliet

May 30, 2018 by Federico PLeave a Comment

Verona is one of the most romantic city in the world; the town of Love, as a lot of people use to call Verona. This because of the words Verona and love go hand in hand like Romeo and Juliet. It is not difficult to understand why Shakespeare chose this city for his unfortunate lovers. Verona is the city of the Arena, the Roman Amphitheater so majestic and full of poetry that everyone in the world envy us for the emotions that can give. Verona … [Read more...]

6 Reasons to Take A Food Tour in Alsace with L’Alsaciette

April 25, 2018 by Jaime Scilingo4 Comments

Alsace-Food-Tours-Alsaciette

I visited the Alsace region of France for a quick weekend over the American Thanksgiving holiday.  I flew into Geneva, Switzerland and then took a train to Basel before transferring to a local train to Colmar, France.  On quick trips such as this, I avoid car rentals.  I prefer to take advantage of public transportation and the deluge of culture that accompanies it.  On this particular trip, I was really looking forward to trying the food and … [Read more...]

Looking at Visiting Toronto for the First Time

September 5, 2017 by DaveLeave a Comment

Remarkably I have not yet visited one of the largest cities in North America, Toronto and the largest city in Canada. One of our earliest contributors to this site Habeeb Salloum lives in Toronto and has invited me in the past to visit this diverse city. In looking at airfare for great deals on flights to Toronto I began researching the prices from Los Angeles (LAX) to to Toronto (YTO). Remarkably flights are priced under $300. And round trip … [Read more...]

Visit Baalbeck, Lebanon – September 2017

September 1, 2017 by DaveLeave a Comment

Baalbeck or as it was originally known 'Heliopolis' is a major historical site containing various temples and other buildings created by the Phoenicians and the Romans, among others. Located about 2 hours north of Beirut one can access Baalbeck by public transportation (which we did by using a mini-bus from the Cola Gas station, not far from the Hamza Mosque). The bus will make a significant climb out of Beirut over the mountains - ultimately … [Read more...]

4 Safest Ways to Get to Your Destination

August 1, 2017 by Tom GLeave a Comment

When traveling to a different country - or even through your own country for that matter - you always want to be certain in your transportation safety. It might sound adventurous to wing it and hitch hike; but most locales advise against it for a reason. Besides, there are classier, more comfortable ways to travel, and these are available in most developed nations. If, for example, you are vacationing in Europe and want to get to get from … [Read more...]

Beautiful Bonaire: The Best Kept Secret of the Caribbean

June 22, 2017 by A Couple for the Road2 Comments

Bonaire is truly an undiscovered diamond in, well, a seascape of so many beautiful diamonds. However, Bonaire is unique in that it remains a sort of untouched paradise in an over-saturated world. The least traveled of the ABC islands, it lies just quietly north of Venezuela in the Caribbean. This small island oasis is a snorkeling and diving paradise, as well as one of the most genial and heartwarming places I’ve ever been. This particular … [Read more...]
