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.

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.

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...]

Amsterdam On a Budget

February 29, 2016 by Allison Tibaldi3 Comments

Amsterdam is a city of many faces. For some, the Red Light District acts as a magnetic force. Its famed coffee shops serve a tempting menu of legalized cannabis, offering a range of highs from mellow to skyscraper. For those seeking lustier pleasures, prostitution is legal and as easy to find as North Sea herring. For others, it’s the cultural gems, from Rembrandt to Van Gogh, that entice. If you haven’t considered this forward-thinking … [Read more...]
