Having been to over 80 countries, many times I am asked, “what’s my favorite place?” Now that’s a tough question. I have so many. Which brings me to the question, “What’s your trip of a lifetime?” For many a trip like a safari in Kenya’s Masai Mara just may be that one trip that you only take once in a lifetime. Ask 100 people, and you just may just get 100 different answers. I like to say, “travel is subjective.” Perhaps you do not like my dream trips, as truly one person’s trip to Australia

Dust off “dem golden slippers” and strut off to Philadelphia for a splendiferous New Year celebration. Philly’s Winter Mummerland is a multi-day family event that culminates in the Mummer’s Parade, America’s oldest folk parade, on New Year’s Day, where the weather may be cold, but the hospitality is red-hot. The costumes and fun evoke Mardi Gras, the floats compare with those in the Tournament of Roses Parade, but best of all it is fun for the whole family.
The Mummers Parade grew out of Europea

SKIING AND SNOWBOARDING NEWS FOR PARK CITY RESORTS
You can click here to see why Park City -- which includes Deer Valley, The Canyons, and Park City Mountain Resort -- might be America's best ski destination even without this season's additions and improvements. Then scroll down to see what's new.

The groomed trails (and groomed people, like ageless 1952 Olympics star Stein Eriksen, right) at Deer Valley are so flawless that my Colorado friend wonders if someone there ble
Starbucks. It seems every civilized place on the planet has at least one.
On any continent they are all exactly alike. The only difference is the décor on the mugs. I consider them collectibles. I have no more room on the shelves in my kitchen for them, but I still buy one wherever I go. In fact, I am a bit annoyed if the city I am in (Nairobi, Kathmandu) does not have a Starbucks.
Before I travel, I Google the location of the Starbucks in the destination city. Not only do I want to add to my coll
With an endeavor to revive Hinduism, the great Hindu reformer Adi Shankaracharya founded the Chardham Yatra during the 8th century AD. The name “Char Dham” rightfully refers to four abodes of the Almighty, namely Gangotri, representing Ganga-the godess of power, Kedarnath depicting the dwelling of Lord Shiva, Badrinath symbolizing the home of Lord Vishnu and Yamnotri signifying the godess of strength Yamuna. Housed at the Himalayan base of Garhwal (Uttaranchal), all the aforesaid locations find

Lately, I have been thinking a lot about traveling. Not sure why, but suspect it
Cape Town has developed into a glitzy city since Apartheid and the fall in flight prices, thanks to the World Cup, makes this the biggest holiday destination in southern Africa. When your plane comes in over the city, it is impossible not to be captivated by Table Mountain that forms the area’s perpetual backdrop. The Mother City (so called because it is the first colonised city in Africa) is built in the valley of an impressive mountain range that holds the city’s 3.5 million inhabitants in a b
La Fortuna, home of the very popular and stunning Arenal Volcano. I arrived on a Thursday and left the next day, even though it was a quick trip, I truly enjoyed it.
I left San Jose in the early morning, going straight to Ciudad Quesada, A few hours later, I arrived at One Hotel, where I not only enjoyed a delicious lunch, but also had the chance to explore their facilities. This hotel offers natural thermal waters flowing directly from the rainforest surrounding the property. The restaurant is

For generations on Christmas Eve, the bells from atop the Church of the Nativity have signaled the start of the Christmas Day celebration. Located in Israel south of Jerusalem, the Church of the Nativity is above the cave where the Jesus was born. The Door of Humanity, by which people enter the church, is so low that everyone must bow to enter. It was lowered from the original door during Ottoman times so that horsemen would have to dismount before entering the holy place. The Grotto of the Nati

In Bethlehem, Israel, beneath the Church of the Nativity is the Grotto of the Nativity, where Jesus was born. The rectangular cavern beneath the church is entered by a flight of steps near the church altar. The cave has been honored as the site of Christ's birth since the 2nd century. The first evidence of a cave in Bethlehem being venerated as Christ's birthplace is in the writings of Justin Martyr arou

The leaves are gone, snow is coming – for sure. Do you wish you were going some place warmer? If so, consider Lake Charles, Louisiana in Southwest Louisiana. The weather is warm and so is Louisiana hospitality. Lake Charles has something of interest for everyone – museums, beaches, fishing, gambling, golf and more.

One striking feature of traveling down Route 301 about an hour after crossing the Delaware border into Maryland is that all vestiges of suburbia like strip development and shopping centers recede into wide open fields and miles of undisturbed forest. Partially due to the fact that I was headed out here in November to experience the Annual Waterfowl Festival, I immediately thought, “Wow, what great farming and hunting grounds.” This coming from somebody who has never shot a rifle or climbed aboar
