The theme is music. The place is Tennessee. The goal, to see as much of it live as possible.

Starting in Memphis and following the ghost of Elvis throughout his life and musical career, our latest batch of reporting takes us on a grand tour of the musical cities of Tennessee.  Memphis for blues and rock 'n roll; Nashville for country.

We had no preconcieved notions of what we would find or who we would meet along the way...just two weeks of exploration in these two locations. It wasn't alway easy,

What to eat for dinner tonight? Tapas to make Penelope Cruz weep? Fusion tacos? Pizza fired in a wood-burning oven imported from Italy? Or maybe just the best turkey sandwich you ever had? The wealth of choice gets overwhelming when you’re in a foodie town like … Orlando.

That’s right; the town best known for a four-fingered mouse who doesn’t eat much of anything has spawned quite a food scene. There is offbeat funkiness to please the toughest San Francisco Mission District hips

This isn’t Avalon, but it’s another world ruled by Goddesses and full of magic. It’s Amaluna, the latest hit in Cirque Du Soleil’s sachet of whimsical wonders, borrows a bit from Shakespeare’s Tempest and mother earth myths in a wonderous show that shouldn’t be missed.

The story begins with Queen Prospera, played by Julie McInnes, performing a ritual for her daughter, Miranda’s, played by Iuliia Mykhailov, coming-of-age ceremony. Prospera conjures a storm that causes a wayward

Due at least in part, no doubt, to the modest size of most Caribbean islands, “mega” structures are fairly few and far between. But one of them is here on the eastern outskirts of the Dominican Republic's capital: the massive (if not downright bombastic) Faro a Colón (Columbus Lighthouse), finished in 1992 for the 500th anniversary of the voyage that, by stumbling onto this island, launched the exploration and colonization of the Western Hemisphere.

“By Tre, Pol and Pen shall ye know all Cornishmen” the rhyme used to describe people or places in Cornwall, many surnames and place names still retain these words as prefixes. I have visited Cornwall throughout my life from a small child to adult with my own family and it still remains one of my very favourite places to go on holiday.

Although the weather can be quite changeable, with sea mists in the morning, the climate is mild and sunny as a result of it’s southerly latitude and influence of t

So, you’ve done a guided rappel down a 150-foot gushing waterfall. Ho-hum.

Now you’re ready for the next extreme adventure adrenaline fix. How about waterfall jumping?

Waterfall jumping is Costa Rica’s version of cliff diving, but next to a waterfall. Also called “tombstoning” in Europe, waterfall jumping is the newest most extreme adventure tour in Arenal, Costa Rica. The new Gravity Falls Jumping Canyon Rainforest Adventure Course by Desafio Adventure Company is an intense canyoning tour that

Report: E-mails Are 40% More Effective Than Twitter or Facebook, Combined

So, after all the excitement about Facebook and Twitter as communities and marketing panaceas, good, “old fashioned” e-mails prove to be 40 times more effective than Facebook and Twitter combined.



That is, if your goal is to acquire customers, and not just share the latest family news or travel experience.



Apparently, says Hotelmarketing,  the reason is simple: 91 percent of all US consumers still use e-mail daily. And “t

Some people like to bring a little comfort from home on vacation – like a pillow.  Others want to know their TV shows will be available for them to watch while on vacation. Still others want to leave home behind altogether to learn all new things and broaden their horizons.  This Wine Diva wants to bring her favorite wines with her on vacation AND  learn about new exciting  food and beverage combinations.  Where did I do that?  On a Holland America cruise to Alaska.  Buckle up babe, this ain’t y

Many families hesitate at the thought of extended travel with middle-school and teen-aged children.  In our overscheduled and often frenetic culture, it may be the most powerful gift you can give them.  Emotional and spiritual growth of emerging teens are equally as important as academics and sports. Travel offers the gift of unstructured time away from, the sometimes overwhelming, social pressures of their young lives.

Sure, the initial disconnect from home may be bumpy, but that phase ends whe

Man has always been known to want to make use of his environment, enjoy any available space and take trips to catch much needed fun. No matter the choice of the location, or distance from home, when the need to move comes up man will always respond. This is not an unnecessary adventure however, it is pertinent that time is taken out most times to recharge ones batteries and refill lost energies.

Scenarios, climates and a simple change of environment can help cure the minds most difficult and tryi

El Océano Pacífico ruge, plateado, azul bravo, mientras una pareja se manosea. Es el deporte preferido (manosearse frente al mar) de muchísimos limeños los fines de semana. Es entonces cuando los boulevares, plazas y bares de Barranco, el barrio bohemio y de moda, registra más agitación. Cuando uno lo visita por primera vez cree no estar en Lima: la mayor parte de sus edificios proceden del tiempo en que la alta sociedad de la ciudad construía mansiones de veraneo al más p

Man has always shown as part of his nature, the inquisitive nature. The zeal to reveal things that will better mankind has always been a focal point of man's adventure. The passion to find rest has made man discovered a lot. Resorts, islands and a lot of other sites have been revamped by man, all to make life easier and comfortable.

In addition to man's nature, researchers on human behavior have proven that stress is a serious killer of the innate ability to explore. Like the old adage goes "all

Due to the work, I went to Harbin in summer for several times. I appreciate its broad streets, glorious constructions and straightforward residents. The Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival always stirs my heart, so this winter I started off.

I packaged my fur hat, ear pads, scarf, woolen sweater, down coat, down pants, snow jogging shoes and gloves. When I arrived there, I found that the local people, especially the young never look like this. Our dress stood out in the crowd. A man stare

It’s not uncommon to visit a hotel that wasn’t here last year. It’s less common, though, to visit a hotel that wasn’t here last year … and won’t be here next year. That’s how it is with Scandinavia’s ‘ice hotels’; they’re actually dug out of a snow bank at the beginning of winter, and are gone with the first thaws of spring. And, usually, they’re completely rebuilt the following winter.

The concept isn’t new, of course. For generations, the Inuit of North America have been building their igloos f
