I met Nemo the other day. Well, actually it was his cousin. Instead of a cute bright orange and white striped Clownfish, this little guy was a vibrant yellow and turquoise with dark stripes. It swam right up to my snorkel mask, in my mind to say, “Hi!” Really, what it was probably thinking was “bug off,” given that it was a Sergeant Major Fish and highly protective of its territory.

Now No Need to Fly With People You Don't Like

9008751500?profile=original

It's an axiom among those of us who fly: You never know whom you'll be sitting next to.

Could be a fascinating character from some terrific movie, your next love or, more likely, someone you really, badly want to get away from.

New Media Travel reported on the idea of "Social Seating Solutions" (Never Sit Next to Boring People Again), so the idea of selecting one's seat mate  has been around for a while. But the enabling tool hasn't been very successfully developed or employed. And there was al

I arrived in Cusco the day before the US embassy website posted the kidnapping advisory for US citizens in Cusco & Machu Picchu.

I spent the next week walking around the city of Cusco, often alone, and went to the village of Ollantaytambo for a hike to unknown ruins. 

I made a short video of my observations while in Cusco that I hope will address some of these questions . . .

In November 3, 2013, a total solar eclipse will pass over equatorial Gabon in Western Africa congo, Uganda, Kenya and finally Ethiopia. Lodwar in Kenya reports a very encouraging “percent of possible sunshine” of 74 percent, strong confirmation of a pronounced decline in cloudiness toward the eastern end of the eclipse track, though the value is so high as to invite a little suspicion which results to a very high resolution which makes it the best point to be during this time of event. There is

The Great Wall of China, as we know it today, starts near the Yellow Sea and ends at a watch tower overlooking the White River. Stretching four thousand miles through deserts, over mountains and into the country’s northern heartland, it is a manmade wonder of the world.

Because so many people died in its making, the Chinese have called their wall “the longest cemetery in the world.” Not a single accurate map of the entire wall exists.

The Great Wall isn’t the only wall in China. There are so many

Fresh charm, old world hospitality

Tay Giang District in the central province of Quang Nam can be said to be a new tourism find in Vietnam.

But it has the added attraction of not being spoilt by tourism and we can only hope it stays that way.

Located on the west side of the Truong Son Range at a height of more than 1,300 meters, the district alluringly presents its vast terrace fields and green mountains draped in gently swaying fog.


One early morning, as we left Tay Giang Town for the district, the fog was more airy and the scene m

Hotel nacional de Cuba


It all started as a bit of an accident. A big fan of Cuban music, American guitarist Ry Cooder had been invited to Cuba to work on a collaboration with local musicians and two well-known musical stars from Mali. When the Africans were denied entry visas to Cuba, Cooder set about creating his Plan B: A recording of Cuban son music with local musicians.

Top Chefs Promote Local Cuisine at Cayman Cookout

caymancookoutplate-300x225.jpg?width=300

The Caribbean is filled with fresh from-the-tree & garden ingredients along with daily just-caught fish right off shore.

Why not simply harvest what's in your backyard rather than have it shipped from around the globe? The answer is twofold. First, more obscure island produce couldn't be farmed and sold profitably. As a result, island
