How can we describe a honeymoon? There are some many words and ways to describe it, some people say is the most romantic experience of their lives, some others say is a holiday taken by the ¨just married¨ couples; the perfect chance to escape from everything and take a vacation.

Portugal’s Precious Port Wine Trail

 

The Port Wine Trail begins in the only place legally  authentic Port can begin, in  Oporto, Portugal’s second-largest city, and a three and a half hour train ride north from Lisbon.

More importantly, it’s  the gateway to the Douro Valley’s prized Port wine vineyards. ()

The valley is really spectacular,  a “must see,” and certainly a absolute destination for any  lover of Port.

Hurricanes pose danger to travelers

Whether travelling locally or abroad.  It is wise to best check the path of any severe weather.  While such storms can be an annoyance causing delays, flight cancellations, and trip deviations, they can be much worse.  I have travelled with some that  say that "It is nothing.", or "I've been through it before."  But it is always worse than they care to admit.  Others seek danger and look to stare the hurricane in its face-  tempting it, taunting it, daring it to harm them.
