Back in April while my two teen kids were enjoying their spring break from school, my wife Sue and I researched destinations for an August family vacation.

The four benchmarks that we used in the vetting process were:

1. It had to be a beautiful beach site with lots of charm.

2. It had to be within a reasonable driving distance from our HQ in northern New Jersey.

3. It had to offer land and water activities that allowed for exploration of the area.

4. Commercial mayhem needed to be minimal:  we w

Hermanus, is a town on the southern coast of the Western Cape province of South Africa. Hermanus is the best land-based destination for whale viewing. Here you can watch the tender mammoths of the ocean called as the Southern Right Whales. Each September the energetic festival of the Hermanus Whale Festival happens.

But there are also certain precautions that you should take in order to stay safe. The beach is no place for stress and worry, so heed the following tips and avoid unnecessary risks.

Fresh Water vs. Salt Water

Some of us prefer the sea, others inland lakes and rivers. And fresh and salt water have significant differences when it com

Are you looking for a unique town with houses varying in architectural style, lots of trees, bike trails, academia that enriches an area with art and music as well as unique, one-of-a-kind shops and restaurants without a big road trip on congested freeways? The city of Claremont provides just that. And through the end of the year you can get all this at a bargain through the Claremont Chamber of Commerce.

In comparison to some biggest cities of Vietnam like Hanoi, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City, Hue has the totally different beauty. This is a land of the outstanding architecture, modest and friendly people, and the simplest things.

The Back Bay neighborhood is home to so much of what makes Boston a world-class city. You're a quick walk from legendary Fenway Park, the seemingly endless blocks of Newbury Street's boutique shopping, the Skywalk Observatory atop Prudential Center, stunning emerald ribbons of parkland bordering the Charles River, and inventive dining helmed by a growing community of star chefs.

It's hard to imagine but fair to say that well into the early 1970s, demolition permits for much of what you now see fa

From the outside, it looked like any ordinary Second Avenue club.

Of course, the raves from The New York Times in the windows betokened otherwise...

And the tough guy out front looked, auspiciously, like he might be called Max.

So we went in.

The crowds pushed us along, and every now and again a hoot from behind would make everyone move to the side as a motorbike snaked its way past. A clanging bell indicated a donkey and cart were coming through. Bags, belts, shoes, carpets, and wooden handicrafts were everywhere to see. The smell of spices hung in the air and outside every shop sat a man waiting to pounce.

“Hello,” one man boomed. He sat outside a stall peddling shoes. “I have good barg

All eyes this month have of course been on Rio's handling of the Summer Olympics. But this town's used to handling big events, and there's also nothing quite like the massive Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro – the over-the-top extravagance; hundreds of thousands of raucous Brazilians thronging the streets and the Sambodrome; and of course the joyously deafening samba music and dancing that helps give shape to it all. Not all of us can be so fortunate to be flying down to Rio that week in February (i

Punks with litre-size steins of beer; festive gay street demos; women in headscarves, sometimes even veils cruising grocery aisles; graffiti scrawled across façades in a bid to awaken social consciences; hipsters on the prowl for vintage comic books… All are multifarious faces of one ofBerlin’s most trendy, bohemian, and multicultural neighbourhoods, Kreuzberg. For most of three postwar decades a low-rent West Berlin backwater surrounded on three sides by the Berlin Wall (you can get the whole

Feet bare, the woman scurried across the desert and up to the jeep as we were about to depart. Smiling, proffering a sizeable plastic bag, she said something which Khalid, my guide/interpreter as well as artist and poet, translated as, “a gift for you.” The bag was filled with fankush, a Sudanese snack akin to Fritos, with far more intriguing shapes: shells, lattices, spirals. Clearly, they’d noticed I’d been gobbling them down by the handfuls as I hung out watching the women
