Now in its 54th year, not only was “Park of Legends” essentially the first zoo in Peru, but in recent years it has grown into much, much more than a mere animal farm.

The University of Oregon's extensive in-town footprint and streets packed with local non-chain shopping make it a pedestrian haven.

Mt. Beautiful Wines were showcased at our recent Wine Review Council in Temecula, California. Although some of the reviewers were familiar with these wines, this was my first introduction to this New Zealand grown and produced wine.  After a two-year quest to find an undiscovered area conducive to supporting a vineyard, David and Leigh Teece purchased farmland in the North Canterbury area of the South Island of New Zealand in 2003.  The land, situated between two rivers and located seven miles i

If you’re anxious about an upcoming flight, you may be connecting dots that shouldn’t be connected. How so? Keeping troubling thoughts out of mind can keep you from being anxious about the flight. To avoid anxiety, do you avoid the news? If an anxious flier avoids the news, they may be unaware that a crash of some kind happens every few days. They may be unaware that security threats are constantly in the news. Then, when they have a flight coming up, they find it harder to keep the n

Among the various cities I've traveled to in Europe, Rome is my favorite.
