This will come as a surprise to most residents of San Diego – and even some of my fellow La Jollans – but the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club is a hotel, as well as an exclusive private club.
In fact, their 98 rooms are very popular with guests who enjoy being in a cul de sac at the south end of La Jolla Shores Beach, where there is very little “through traffic.” All California beaches are public to the mean high tide line, but above that line this one is private, which means alcohol can be served.

Just finishing writing up a feature story on a journey through the Outback (north) by a private plane in Australia. Bill Peach Journeys is the company and we flew in a Dash 8 plane - holding 28 people. I picked up with the group in Darwin, had two days there including a magnificent sunset cruise on the harbour. We then flew to Kununnura, did a day trip up the Ord River; flew over the most magical part of the Kimberley - the Bungle Bungles then onto the fabulous pearling town of Broome.

Hear that? That dull roar, like the sound from inside a shell? That might be the Orange County coastline calling you — 42 miles of beach and beach towns, give or take, from San Clemente to Seal Beach. Follow the advice here, and this coastline might lull you with surfers on swells, startle you with circus tricks (look for the guy by the Huntington Beach Pier with the hammer, nail and much-abused nose), charm you with old shacks on priceless real estate, seduce or offend you with shiny new build
Hanna, directed by the BAFTA Award winner, Joe Wright and staring Saoirse Ronan, Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett, is to hold its Finnish premier in Kuusamo, where some of the scenes were shot.
Hanna is the story of a teenage girl raised in the Finnish wilderness and trained to become an assassin. The film makes striking use of its locations, with script rewrites organised around the places they found. It was shot in Kuusamo, Bavaria, Germany and Monaco.
It’s nearly summer and chances are you’re looking forward to enjoying a few days of vacation at the beach, a golf resort, or a hotel with a great swimming pool. Everywhere in the Northern Hemisphere, folks are spending more time outside these days as the weather gets warmer.
In any case, skin cancer is the farthest thing from your mind and I hate to be a drag – but this is a blog about Staying Healthy On the Road – and just one melanoma could put a permanent end to your traveling days.
So what’s a

Shopping in New York City, even for a somewhat jaded ex-New Yorker like myself, can often yield some pretty nifty surprises. A few years ago, to cite but one example, I found three spectacular wooden Catholic saints from Macau in an outdoor Chelsea antiques market that no longer exists (thanks to a new condo). What caught my eye about these saints was their distinct Asian features, something I'd never seen before, or since. The price? $90 each. Two still adorn my home in Miami; the third I sold

San Jose downtown is a city full of contrasts, with the regular hustle of a capital city, it stills keeping a unique essence on its surroundings. The top attractions within the area are mainly based in cultural activities, like museums, theatres and historical architecture. And is actually the historical and cultural richness what brings visitors to the must see in San Jose: ¨The National Theatre¨.
This historical jewel was inaugurated in October of 1897, after seven years of construction, it s

After years of operating one of the most environmentally friendly hotels in Jamaica we this year will be starting another project in the hope that we can reach out to as many small properties as possible and assist them in converting their operations. We feel that using our combined knowledge and expertise will be able to put other businesses on the path to sustainability and more cost effective management. We will go beyond 'just consulting' and after the
