The news about the apparent end of the 42-year regime of Col. Mummar Qaddafi has me remembering about the last time I visited Libya. Actually, it was the only time I visited Libya, just before he led the military coup led that deposed the ruling family of King Idris.
My trip to Libya included visiting the incredible Roman ruins at Leptis Magna (pictured here), and visiting with troops at Wheelus U. S. Air Force base and the small U. S. Coast Guard on the shores of Tripoli, and the World War Two
If you looked at afar.com’s web site you’d be impressed. It’s attractive, kinetic and well done.
The company, founded by Greg Sullivan and Joe Diaz, stresses that travel is “experiential,” and that travelers have to “get out of their comfort zone.”
That’s their brand message.
They want travel “to delve beneath the surface and meet real people in real places.”
Not an especially original concept.
Then I watched the video on brandchannel, and basically
The smallest national park in Costa Rica has something big to brag about: it was just named in the top 10 national parks in the world Forbes Magazine. Manuel Antonio is a pristine rainforest park and includes five secluded beaches. During a visit, you will see sloths, a variety of monkeys (watch out! They'll steal your food!), toucans, intricate tropical flowers, the occassional boa lazily resting on a branch and a variety of colorful birds. The beaches are among the most beautiful in Central
The Hottest Party in Spain.
Fires are burning all over Valencia. I cannot glimpse an intersection that is not ablaze.
Bombaderos , firemen dressed in black turnout, stand by just waiting with tanker trucks full of water, and portable pumps. I inhale the acrid smoke with gusto, awakening the latent pyromaniac within. My heart races as I turn left and head down Calle De Trafalgar. An elaborate archway of carnival lights, designed like the onion tops of a Russian Orthodox Church, frames the narrow e

My dad’s summer visits to California have often forced us to join in the “traipse of the tourists” visiting every theme park and attraction, including casinos, within driving distance. Some have been extraordinary adventures; others much more ordinary. This year I opted for culture and a very different kind of destination. The Pageant of the Masters in Laguna Beach runs for one month in the summer and has been doing so since 1933.

Chico, California just cannot rid itself of being named the “party capital of America.” Chico State may indeed be a party central as Playboy says it’s “numero uno” for college kids” gone wild.”
Chico is located 180 miles northeast of San Francisco in the central valley, around three hours by car from San Francisco, and one hour from Sacramento, and is indeed a College town that knows how to do a little partying to go along with studying for your de

he main national holidays in Latvia are May Day (May 1st) and National Day, on November 18, when all offices, government as well as private, are closed for the celebrations that include a grand parade in Riga.

Trekking in Himalayas requires some time in hand, but they can prove to your best holiday ever. The Himalayan trekking tour ideally covers a stretch of about 1,700
I've only begun to travel alone in the last few years. Major changes in the autumn of my life have forced me, not unwillingly, to embrace my independence. Once I wrote about family travel destinations and unique ways to save money and have a great time with your children. Now I find myself addressing the 'Baby Boomers". Just so you know I have decided to be a "Bloomer" not a Boomer! I feel as if my life has just begun to blossom.
Life cannot get any better than spending a week in Oahu, Hawaii's

I am not Samantha Brown, Andrew Zimmern or Tony Bourdain. I am Jersey. I am a Baby Bloomer…64 years old, divorced, still teaching and just starting to blossom.
In the last few years, I have gone sky-diving, zip lining, swimming in Mexican ceynotes, snorkeling coral reefs, kayaking, off-roading, swimming with dolphins and drinking Hurricanes on Bourbon Street. All for the very first time…and all alone!!!!
I do not eat cow eyeballs or testicles, I do not venture into
