November 24, 2016 by Avichai Ben TzurLeave a Comment

[AITUTAKI]-Taking-off-from-Rarotonga

As winter quickly sweeps in and we bid farewell to another magical summer, Australia and New Zealand are gearing up for the start of their tourist seasons, and with them millions of visitors who will make the long journey to discover their wonders. But if you’ve already come this far, cap off your vacation in style with a short eastbound flight over the blue waters of the South Pacific to the magical Cook Islands - where your visit to paradise … [Read more...]

From Gourmet Eating to Fishing for Gourmet Lobsters – Cape Breton’s Seafood Bounty

September 13, 2016 by Habeeb Salloum1 Comment

By Habeeb Salloum and Muna Salloum ----------- We were excited and so were our stomachs as we headed out for a three-day tour of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia’s paradise isle. Leaving our immaculate 4-star hotel, Sydney’s Hampton Inn, we made our way through Cape Breton’s green coastline to Indian Brooks. The scene before us was breathtaking. We continued and a few kilometers later, reached the panoramic Lookout of St. Ann’s with seven more … [Read more...]

Chasing Waterfalls in Samana

September 9, 2016 by Jacki Ueng3 Comments

There is a famous song in the 90's by TLC which advised not to chase waterfalls, but to stick with the rivers and lakes that you are used to. But what if you could have it all? I believe that we should chase waterfalls, metaphorically and physically. If we don't chase after waterfalls to places and dreams we aspire for, then how would we ever reach paradise? I set out on a journey to Dominican Republic in June for the first time to a … [Read more...]

Part Three: Sweet, Sweet Santiago de Cuba

August 24, 2016 by Jessica Starkschall2 Comments

In between our two ports of call, Havana and Santiago de Cuba, we had another day at sea. This is a great opportunity for passengers to relax and reinvigorate for the next port.  We participated in an Introduction to Santiago de Cuba seminar.  While I didn’t learn that much about the city, I realized there would be plenty of that the following day in Santiago de Cuba, and instead we simply got an overview of what to expect from the day ahead.  … [Read more...]

A 3-Day Itinerary on Kangaroo Island, South Australia

August 16, 2016 by Patricia Pagenel2 Comments

We started our 3-week stay in Australia with 3 days on Kangaroo Island. The appeal of Australia was without surprise its rich and unique wildlife. Kangaroo Island seems to encompass many of what we looked for. Why Kangaroo Island? The third largest island in Australia with 155 km long and 55 km wide (96 miles by 34 miles), Kangaroo Island is not on the tourist trail and has stayed untouched from the big tourism. Indeed, a third of the island … [Read more...]

A Few Notes about Basecamp Ortelius, Oceanwide Expeditions Antarctica Trip

August 10, 2016 by DaveLeave a Comment

What an incredible trip so far. Tonight we enjoyed a BBQ in a snowstorm on the helicopter deck on the "H", where the helicopter lands. Large ribs, chicken, and steaks were all being grilled. Every meal we have significant appetites because we are exercising so much during the day. We passed through the *amazing* and very narrow Lemaire Channel yesterday - with massive and jagged mountains providing the visuals on both sides as our ship broke … [Read more...]

Tori James, Adventurer and Speaker

August 6, 2016 by Dave1 Comment

I briefly met Tori earlier this year at a travel blogging conference (Traverse) 16 in Cardiff, Wales where she gave the opening welcome speech. Her adventures are nothing short of amazing, reaching the summit of Mt. Everest at age 25, participating in the first ever all-female team in a 360 mile race to the Magnetic North Pole (successfully reaching the pole), and significant cycling, kayaking and other outdoor adventure feats. She is an … [Read more...]

Part One: Introduction to Cuba

June 21, 2016 by Jessica Starkschall2 Comments

For the past 50+ years, the idea of traveling to Cuba on an American cruise line has been unfathomable. Then, in May of 2016, that idea became a reality – it became fathomable.  Justifiably so, the first cruise line granted access into Cuba’s mesmerizing culture is named Fathom. Fathom Impact + Travel, a subsidiary company of Carnival Cruise lines, was created in 2012 and been in business since 2014.  Fathom Impact + Travel is the answer to the … [Read more...]
