The Feel is in the Destination, Baros Maldives

February 6, 2017 by Dave4 Comments

Opening in 1973, the Baros Maldives was only the third island destination resort in the Maldives. It's gorgeous beauty and proximity to Male were among the primary reasons for it's opening. Even though such history is fairly recent - things were significantly different back then. There were no banks on Male, fishing was still the primary income source for the country, the population was less then a 1/3 of what it is today and on Baros the … [Read more...]

Small-town Travels in France’s Alsace Region

November 10, 2016 by Charlotte Leszinske4 Comments

France’s oft-neglected eastern border is notable for a few things: lush countryside, Germanic architecture, and storybook charm. There’s nowhere in the world that sings to the heart like Alsace; somehow, its cobbled streets create the desire to get lost in back alleys with a pastry or two. Alsace is a fairly small section of France, with just under two million people calling it home. Strasbourg, seat of the European Parliament and capital of … [Read more...]

The Delightful Mai Samui

November 2, 2016 by Anthony Jury3 Comments

The calmness of the sea and the towering palm trees full of coconuts alerts you to a paradise awaiting inside the Mai Samui Beach Resort and Spa.

October 20, 2016 by Linda CLeave a Comment

The actual time spent travelling is often considered to be the dullest part of travelling. You have to sit on the train, bus, plane, or whatever and simply wait until you arrive at your final destination. And even if you’re driving yourself it isn’t too thrilling either, especially if you are driving for many hours, without a break. Fortunately, now we have a lot more options compared to only few decades ago, let alone a century ago. Moreover, … [Read more...]

Sirmione, Lake Garda: When You Need a Vacation From Your Vacation

September 27, 2016 by Angela Matano2 Comments

Churches, paintings and palaces are all well and good, great even, but sometimes a traveler needs a little respite from all that culture (right, honey?). Lake Como may be the most famous and glitterati-ist body of water in Italy, thanks to you, Mr. George Clooney, but Lake Garda sparkles quietly, like a hidden gem – at least as far as Americans are concerned. The largest lake in the country, Lake Garda is about an hour’s train ride from … [Read more...]
