One of my favorite benefits of business travel is seeing new cities, towns and countries, and experiencing different cultures.
I’m in Scotland for business and today is Halloween. When I arrived here, I wasn’t sure if Halloween is celebrated in the UK or not. Oh yes … and for much longer than it’s been celebrated in North America.
A bit of history:
The Celtic festival Samhain is one of the four quarter festivals. In Gaelic it is Samhuinn which means hallow tide or season, the feast of all-souls.

I stayed in Paris with a friend two weeks ago, and it was awesome. It was the second time I went to Paris, but for the first one I didn't stay in an hotel. This year, my friend and I saved some money to have an unforgettable trip to Paris. We chose the Moderne St-Germain Hotel ( http://www.hotel-paris-stgermain.com ), following my uncle's recommendations, and were completely overjoyed when we discovered the hotel and our room!
We had the superior room with a white and red theme.

Latin lovers are world renowned for their passion and intimate love affairs. Perhaps the most famous of these romantic couples was Juan Domingo Peron and Maria Eva Duarte de Peron---more commonly known as Evita. But prior to this historic coupling the 20th President of Argentina, Maximo Marcelo Torcuato de Alvear, met with a stellar Portuguese opera singer, Regina Pacini, whereupon another great love affair began. The latter couple is less renowned globally but equally immortalized i

If Vasco do Gama, Magellan and Henry the Navigator fortified themselves with Port, Portugal’s most famous product, it might have made their journeys less horrific.
But Port wasn’t created until the 17th century, and today it’s undergoing a renaissance.
This easy-going, southern European country produced navigational giants that dominated the sea routes of the world, and controlled colonies as diverse as Brazil and Angola.
But what it controls today is perhaps more precious. Accordi
