You really can't get more family-run than Conway Family Wines...Chris and Ann Conway along with their 5 children Gareth (President), John, Sally, Tom (VP Business Development), Gillian (VP Communications) all share ownership in the winery producing a tasty trio of Deep Sea varietals. Being small scale and tight knit allows them to use sustainable agricultural and vineyard practices not only to produce great tasting grapes but to effectively preserve their historic Rancho Arroyo Grande property.

Gung Hei Fat Choi! This weekend marks the start of Chinese New Year celebrations. The New Year in China, (also called “Lunar New Year”) does not occur on the same calendar day each year – at least not in the traditional Western sense. The first day of the New Year coincides with the second new moon after the Winter Solstice, which means it can begin anywhere from late January to mid-February, depending on the year. photo

Un aplauso para Bogotá: la capital colombiana lucha encarecidamente por derribar prejuicios y que no se le asocie a la guerrilla y la inseguridad. El turista, nada más poner el pie en la ciudad, se da cuenta de la alegría que trae hasta el interior los vientos del Caribe. Con una extensión de 385 kilómetros cuadrados, esta megaurbe resulta amable, irresistible, acogedora. Si no, fíjese en la siguiente imagen: los camareros, en lugar de preguntar “¿qué desea tomar?”, sorpr

Preparing myself for travel is one thing (since I travel almost every week); preparing my daughter for travel is another – especially when it involves solo travel to another country. While she’s not a child any more and is a very capable adult, a parent’s worry hovering involvement doesn’t end.

Jenn is on her way to Hong Kong and China for ten days. Watch as I offer my travel words of wisdom on packing and hear Jenn’s silent “Yes, Mom… Yes, Mom!”  

Lots of travel tips for all!

One of my earliest travel memories, back in the early 1970s, Cozumel at that time was the Yucatan's biggest (hell, only) beach resort deal. Cancun was still but a glimmer in the eyes of Mexico's government tourism planners and the "Riviera Maya" was little more than miles of hot, buggy scrubland punctuated by a string of barefoot (not even electrified) villages with the seaside Maya site of Tulum stuck in there somewhere (suffice it to say, a whole lot more inaccessible in those days).

9008651458?profile=originalI'm one of those people who's got a thing for ancient ruins, especially in the Western Hemisphere - Aztec, Inca, Maya, Olmec, whatever; if it's pre-Columbian, bring it on. So when I was offered a chance by the resort chain Iberostar to pop back down to the Yucatan Peninsula's Mayan Riviera, including a visit to Tulum, I jumped at it.

After flying in from Miami the day the day before yesterday (just an hour and 20 minutes to CUN, aka Cancun); settling into the Maya Paraíso, one of the properties

El término ecoturismo ha sido objeto de muchas interpretaciones distintas. Abundan hoteles, propiedades y paquetes vacacionales que se jactan de ser amigables con el ambiente. En múltiples ocasiones, la palabra se refiere a la sumersión en un espacio natural. Los tonos verdes varían, pero en general cualquier viaje que involucre a la Madre Tierra puede llevar el prefijo «eco».

Sin embargo, para nuestros fines, el descanso ecológico genuino involucra el turismo verde y responsable. Esto es, la est

The name of Don Quixote is known around the world, even if the story behind the name is perhaps not so familiar. Written 400 years ago by Miguel de Cervantes, the novel describes the colorful adventures of Don Quixote of La Mancha, a retired country gentleman from the western La Mancha region of central Spain, who lives out a fantasy life based on the many romantic books he has spent his years reading. He battles imaginary enemies (famously including the windmills of La Mancha) and fights for t
