Backpacker’s Prayer

April 22, 2015 by Justin CarmackLeave a Comment

I found this taped to a wall in a bar in Riga, Latvia, and I thought it was pretty funny so I wrote it down! Also check out 10 Things to do in Riga! I'm not very religious, but I thought this was a great backpacker's prayer!  --Heavenly father, look down on us as your humble, obedient backpackers, who are doomed to travel this earth, taking photographs, mailing post cards, buying souvenirs and walking around in drip dry underwear. Give us … [Read more...]

A Busy Day Exploring Phang Nga & Vicinity #thailand

April 3, 2015 by Dave10 Comments

Panyi Village is sizable community along the edges of the Andaman Sea near the town of Phang Nga. A stop here is well worthwhile to see and experience to some extent the daily life of these villagers. Some of the village is built on wooden supports above the water - other homes are supported by reinforced concrete pillars. A walk here is an experience in senses - smells, tastes and exotic surroundings. Wooden walkways are surrounded by tiny homes … [Read more...]

Sydney Opera House, Australia – April 2015

April 1, 2015 by DaveLeave a Comment

There are a select number of instantaneously recognizable buildings in the world - the Sydney Opera house is certainly one of these. Not only is the architecture unique but so is its setting - situated on a small peninsula surrounded by one of the more scenic natural harbors and bayside settings in the world. The iconic tiles of this curved building rise high into the sky - great viewpoints are from parts of the nearby Botanical Garden, from a … [Read more...]

Star Searching, Celebrity House Spotting with Starline Tours, Hollywood

March 25, 2015 by DaveLeave a Comment

What better time to take a Starline guided tour of Hollywood and hunt for celebrity homes and celebrities than during the Academy Award weekend. Hollywood's epic event attracts a number of celebrities to town, parties and those looking to see celebrities. Sure Hollywood is more chaotic then usual - with part of Hollywood Blvd shut down in the vicinity of Dolby Theatre and the buzz about the event by most everyone who happens to be in the … [Read more...]

Plan Your Own Great Wall Adventure

March 19, 2015 by Jenia Ustinova1 Comment

A day trip to the Great Wall easily qualifies as a major highlight of our month long travels across China. In fact, I would even go as far as saying that if I had to pick just one “must” from a long list of great things to do/see in China, touring the Great Wall would be it -- although to visit only one location in China would be very distressing, as the rest of the country is fascinating. Why does the Great Wall qualify as my top … [Read more...]

Pampered Luxury at Hastings House, Salt Spring Island

March 1, 2015 by Ariane Colenbrander1 Comment

Afternoon tea at Hastings House

I was recently pampered with a two-night stay at luxurious Hastings House Country House Hotel on Salt Spring Island. While I've been to Salt Spring several times, I had yet to enjoy this corner of the island, close enough to downtown Ganges yet far enough away to appreciate the solitude and nature that helps define this Relais & Chateaux property. The welcoming hotel grounds are filled with fragrant flowers and colourful birds, all with a … [Read more...]

Riviera Cancun: Secrets Silversands Resort

February 23, 2015 by Ariane Colenbrander5 Comments

Secrets Silversands Resort

Looking at numerous websites, Trip Advisor reviews, and tips from friends, we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to picking a travel destination and resort. My husband and I wanted to visit the Riviera Maya this month, in a location away from the thumping of Cancun or Playa del Carmen. What we found was Puerto Morelos, a smaller town smack in between the two, yet close enough to get to the Mayan ruins while enjoying the warm, tropical breezes of … [Read more...]
