Actually, we never even made it to Kigoma. Precision Air, one of only two airlines that flies to the remote region, had just suspended all flights for the next several weeks and the other airline was all booked.No worries, we headed to Zanzibar instead….Everywhere you look in Zanzibar there’s a bounty of fresh vegetables, fruit, and spices. One of the “Spice Islands”—a group of islands that supplied cloves, coriander, nutmeg, pepper, vanilla,

Music has always been part of the commonly shared culture found in the geographical region of west Africa, and the region has produced, in my view, some of the most talented and influential artists of music history. For millennia, the likes of the Jembe, Kora and Balafon musical instruments have influenced much of the music that we hear today on our radios.
For example, blues music has always been linked to the deep south of the United States, but have you ever wondered where the origins of blues

I think the ratings inflation trend began with the Xanadu-like building frenzy in Dubai, especially with the luxury hotel, Burj Al Arab (Tower of the Arabs), built on an artificial island and bill
Traveling is not all about sightseeing, great restaurants and experiencing new cities. While these things are great and can make for really enjoyable travel, they are not always in the plans for weekly business travelers. We travel more often because we have to, not because we want to.
For those of us who travel routinely, it can sometimes be mundane things that happen to us along our journey that get us excited. Or we create our own fun with little games we play with ourselves to get through th
When Trip Advisor Gets it Wrong
Unarguably, Trip Advisor has changed travel dramatically. It’s changed the way we look at… and book destinations and properties, from all-inclusiveresorts to family-run boutique inns.
But the review site can get it wrong, and when it does, given Trip Advisor’s enormous clout, it can cause damage to businesses.

Momotaro came to earth inside a giant peach, which was found floating down a river by an old, childless woman who was washing clothes there. The woman and her husband discovered the child when they tried to open the peach to eat it. The child explained that he had been sent by Heaven to be their son. The couple named him Momotaro, “Peach Boy”.
If you’re a regular reader, you’ve probably noted that I don’t usually do restaurant reviews. Howeve

You can swim with the sharks or ice skate… at the Dubai Mall
When you’ve got such a high concentration of shopping malls in one country it’s good for business to do something “different” to attract the crowds.
Cue giant aquarium at the Dubai Mall.
