Those who've traveled to this tiny (pop. barely three million), ancient country in the mountainous Caucasus region east of Turkey wonder why Armenia isn't on many travelers' bucket lists. Not a lot of nations can boast such an ancient and rich cultural heritage dating far back as the ancient times - a 6,000-year-old winemaking tradition, for example or a capital, Yerevan, 28 years older than the "Eternal City," Rome.

In addition to its senior status among South Island settlements (founded in 1841 and named after the famed English admiral Lord Nelson), this city of a bit over 51,000 also happens to lie at the geographical centre of New Zealand. And it's become a popular getaway for Kiwis attracted to its laid-back lifestyle and art/culinary scene, with a lively marketplace and a handful of museums, gardens, and other attractions thrown in (renting a bike is the best way to get around).

The Parque de las Leyendas is basically a zoo in the city of Lima - but with an amazing an unique "something extra". Located in the San Miguel district near the coast, west of the old city centre and north of Miraflores and Barranco, it is far, however, from just another municipal zoo. 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.

People are traveling more than ever before, and the reasons behind this are quite numerous. First, the means of commute are more sophisticated than they’ve ever been before, and via plane, you can now make a voyage in a matter of hours, instead of embarking on a perilous journey that lasts days or weeks.

Downtown Eugene, Oregon is decidedly more laid back and outdoorsy than much larger and more renowned Portland to the north. 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

Despite its past trials and tribulations, both internal and external, this land just a tad smaller than New Jersey and a bit bigger than Wales has many of the key ingredients of a tropical paradise, including dramatic volcanoes and lands

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.

Cruising is among the most popular types are usually long affairs. vacationing due to all the advantages they offer.
