“Two Tickets to Paradise”, Palau

February 20, 2014 by Lisa Ellen Niver2 Comments

“I’ve got two tickets to paradise. Pack your bags and leave tonight” – Eddie Money In the evening we arrived to the Airai Hotel located conveniently near Palau’s international airport. The Airai hotel staff was welcoming and our hotel room that overlooked the coastline from a distance and the hotel waterpark below us was a spacious and comfortable midrange option. At the restaurant we sampled tasty white snapper pesto served over a bed of … [Read more...]

Touring Koror, Palau

January 23, 2014 by Lisa Ellen Niver5 Comments

Whenever we arrive to a new place, we attempt to learn about the country. Therefore, our first stop in Palau was the Belau National Museum where the exhibit: “A Cherechar A Lokelii: Palau Through the Years” gave us a detailed introductory education. Strolling through the halls we learned about the past presence and influences of the Spanish, Germans, Japanese and the United States from a historical context. The Spanish first visited Palau in … [Read more...]

Savory Eats at MGM Grand, Las Vegas

October 30, 2013 by Virginia TseLeave a Comment

While there are no shortages of activities to enjoy at MGM Grand there are also a number of restaurants here. As a Foodie I was thankful to dine in two different establishments; PUB 1842 and Shibuya. PUB 1842 is a casual pub and gastropub; at the entrance you will discover an endless variety of beers lined up. The sign here boasts, “Free Water, Cheap Beer”. The food menu consists of burgers, nachos, lobster rolls, and so much more. Chef … [Read more...]

A Slice of Cabo Wry

October 15, 2013 by Tom BentleyLeave a Comment

I think it’s natural that when you enter another country, particularly for the first time, you immediately look for both the familiar and the strange. Driving into Cabo San Lucas from the airport, I was struck by the scattered groups and solitary sentinels of Cardón cactus, the spindly beasts that are the world’s largest cactus, and that can live over 300 years. These pricklies have been witness to the remarkable changes that have taken place at … [Read more...]

On The Cheap – How Expensive Is Japan?

July 30, 2013 by Adrian QaisLeave a Comment

Every traveller and backpacker I’ve ever met who wants to go to Japan only asks me two questions. 1. Is Japan expensive to travel around? 2. Can you travel around Japan cheaply? Although the first answer is ‘Yes’... luckily the second answer is also ‘Yes’! However, I’m not going to begin by lying to you… transportation costs in Japan will make you cry tears the size of October’s cabbages (i.e. make you cry a lot). Although food is … [Read more...]

Keepers of the Wild Animal Rescue Sanctuary, Kingman, Arizona, USA

Keepers of the Wild mountain lion by Shara Johnson

Most people traveling down the historic Route 66 through Nevada and Arizona are looking for sights such as old diners and bars, historical structures, and the locations where stories of legendary characters of the past took place. They likely drive right by Keepers of the Wild Animal Rescue Sanctuary, between Kingman and Valentine, Arizona, without much of a second glance. A very low-key entrance with one billboard out front and a small building … [Read more...]

Sofiero Palace and Gardens

June 17, 2013 by Dave1 Comment

My visit to Sweden this time was decidedly different than my previous. Enduring cold weather, cloudy skies and drizzly conditions during my last visit we spent much of our time indoors drinking hot chocolate, eating sushi and visiting with family who live in Malmö. During the entirety of that trip, the cold weather followed us up to Oslo Norway - and then over to Stavanger and Bergen with fleeting glimpses of the gorgeous fjords tantalizingly … [Read more...]

Virginia is for Foodies

June 12, 2013 by Allison TibaldiLeave a Comment

Even if you arrive in Virginia knowing not a soul, don’t be surprised if you leave feeling as if you’ve broken bread and shared drink with good folk who are now friends. That’s the way Virginia strikes me. I come here to eat, drink and contemplate its natural beauty, but am most deeply affected by its people. It’s a truly welcoming place, even to a Northern stranger like me. I recently road- tripped my way through the Commonwealth in search … [Read more...]

There are plenty of great restaurants in Las Vegas to try out during your upcoming trip, but filling up at one of the many Las Vegas hotel buffets is worth at least one meal! Actually, you might as well count that meal as “two,” since we know you won’t be calling it quits after the first plate. It’s all about indulging yourself in Las Vegas Hotels so save the guilt for the plane ride home! Las Vegas buffets are ideal for groups that can’t seem … [Read more...]

The Catch of the Day: A Guide to Fishing in Lake Tahoe

December 22, 2012 by DaveLeave a Comment

Lake Tahoe is one of the biggest lakes in the world (the 26th largest lake by volume) and by far the largest alpine lake in all of North America. With such a large amount of water in (and around) Lake Tahoe, there are plenty of opportunities for a good catch. Lake Tahoe is known for her crystal clear waters, and the fish that these waters entail. You’ll find mackinaw, kokanee salmon, rainbow and brown trout and largemouth bass to name a few. … [Read more...]
