This summer much of the world's eyes will be on London, England and the Summer Olympic Games. Perhaps the world premier sporting event begins on July 27th and continues until August 12.  Needless to say, such a major event, even for a city as large as London is no simple matter.  Organizing such a major event is no easy matter.  For example the Olympics will have over 23,000 security professionals and it is estimated that security alone will cost more than one billion British pound sterling.

I watched “Eat, Pray, Love” for the second time last night (okay, third - plus I read the book). Here are the effects it had upon me:

• It made me hungry for Italian food - most especially pizza in Naples
• It made me hungry for Italian men but then I got tired and that desire dissipated
• It made me re-examine my life (for 1hr 25 min.)
• The above noted “It made me” gave me a headache and so that dissipated as well
• It made me want to date James Franco
• It made me want to cycle in Bali but not get hit by a hot

The Southern part of India is well known for its rich society and customs that are generally depicted in its temples and celebration logbook. The rich green scenes with the silhouetted representations of the controlling coconut palms give it a post card quite setting. Whatever if you are here for an otherworldly excursion or on a touring visit, you will get a charge out of each spot of the South India tour encounter.

More Americans will take a vacation this summer, and more are getting an early start, according to the third annual Allianz Travel Insurance Summer Vacation Confidence Index released today by Allianz Global Assistance USA.

Nearly 60 percent of Americans (57 percent) are likely to hit the road this season, up three points from last year and exceeding the 50 percent of Americans who say they typically take a summer vacation, traveling at least 100 miles from home for a week.  The vacation uptick i

Spain is one of Europe's most popular destinations, receiving thousands upon thousands of tourists every year. Some people like it so much that they actually decide to stay, and statistics show that foreign residents are something like 10% of the population.

Driving in Spain doesn't present too many difficulties, but there are several things drivers should be aware of. First of all, and this one is a big one for British drivers, traffic in Spain drives on the right-hand side of the road.

What’s all the buzz about stand-up paddle surfing?

It’s one of the fastest emerging global water sports, that’s what.

Also called stand-up paddleboarding, or SUP for short, the sport is popular with surfers as a way to keep fit when surf is low and also as another way to catch waves. Because it is a great full-body workout, other athletes like skiers, snowboarders, etc. are using stand-up paddle surfing to cross train.

Described as “walking on water,”it involves standing on a big, long modified sur

When the Belize Tourist Board asked me to come to Belize to get a taste of their “slice of paradise,” I gladly accepted.
