Why Vegas remains the Top Travel Destination

March 16, 2023 by Sarah WilliamsonLeave a Comment

One look at the dazzling lights and the hive of activity that is modern day Las Vegas and you’d scarcely believe that just 200 years ago not a single non-native American had settled on the land. A group of traders led by Antonio Armijo were the first to visit the area in 1829 and named it Las Vegas which means “The Meadows" in Spanish. It wasn’t until 1905 that Las Vegas would be officially founded as a railroad town, and its size would grow … [Read more...]

My Visit To Israel

March 12, 2023 by Janet MatriccianiLeave a Comment

The best way to visit Israel is with a fluent Hebrew speaker. That’s why I brought my thirteen-year-old son along, since he goes to a Jewish Day School and spends half each day speaking only Hebrew. Unfortunately, I had over-estimated his capabilities, so taxi rides often consisted of pointing and repeating English words with Israeli accents. If my son hadn’t thought that saying “Iz olright, Iz olright” with an Israel accent and considering that … [Read more...]

January 9, 2023 by DaveLeave a Comment

I have been fortunate to have visited Spain a number of times, both for wine related business but also to satisfy my wanderlust and ongoing search for ideal weather. I've always timed my visits to avoid the summer months so as not to experience high temperatures and summer crowds. I've found one of my favorite times of year to visit is in late Spring.
