March 31, 2016 by Preethi Chandrasekhar3 Comments

I recently discovered a secret Greece has been hiding from the world. It’s called Meteora. The town is a hidden gem, a few hours from Athens.

Dreaming of Iceland

December 1, 2014 by Dave5 Comments

Iceland has long been on my list of countries to visit.

Moon Mt. Rushmore

January 20, 2011 by DaveLeave a Comment

There's quite a bit packed into a relatively small geographical area - both natural and and man made attractions. Highlights of this guide book are of course Mt. Rushmore (one of America's most visited monuments with over 3 million visitors/year) but also Crazy Horse Mountain, Custer … [Read more...]
