I was prepared to be impressed. The innkeeper, E. Scot Fuller, is a chef, so the breakfast part I was quite sure would be outstanding. The Chadwick Bed & Breakfast, located at 140 Chadwick Street in Portland, has it all, and I sensed it the moment I walked into the lovely foyer. To my immediate right was the guest dining room, done in cheery shades of blues and yellow and to my left was a large guest living room, complete with fireplace, plenty of books, movies, DVD's, games and puzzles.

Following Mahatma Gandhi's Last Steps

My most spiritual tourist experience in India was to visit the home Gandhi was living in for the last four months of his life. The place has been turned into a museum to commemorate his life and his works. Like the man, it is both humble and impressive.

This was the only place in India that has no entrance fee. I was actually looking forward to paying a fee, because the tickets to places like the forts and the Taj make really great bookmarks! However I think the Mahatma would roll in his grave (i

You don't have to travel far on Route 72 from the busy north-south roads near Florida's Gulf Coast before you are in a comparative wilderness. Just north is Sarasota, best known for its connection to John Ringling and for being the "capital" of the American circus. To the south is Ft. Myers, best known a

Among the many wonderful beach destinations along the Gulf of Mexico, Sarasota, Florida, stands out, but not because of sand, surf and dolphins.

You step through an archway and all you see are neat, lush gardens with lounge chairs set in a row, and beach and the waters of the Gulf of Mexico beyond, and your immediate reaction is "aaaahhh."

it is just the place you might imagine staying if you were writing your novel, an oasis of serenity and peace.

The Sandpiper Inn may have started out in the 1960s as a motel, but it bears little resemblance whatsoever. Each unit - studio, one or two bedro

Mixing the Business Trip With The Family Vacation

The road warrior, the business traveler represents a huge 50% or more of a hotel’s revenue, so the report just out in Travel Leaders  was good news..

The 2011 business travel survey suggested that 76% of business-focused travel agents are predicting their booking will match or exceed bookings for 2010, and while they were at it, they identified the top reasons a business traveler books a hotel.

But what we found very interesting in the same report,

Kerala Tours India

I boarded a Delhi to Trivandrum flight by Indian which gave me more comfort than other domestic airlines I had travelled earlier with. All the tall claims of all other airlines I have travelled earlier in are only publicity stunts and they have less to offer in terms of comfort and safety, though they are miles ahead in their way of treating customers. But only beautiful uniforms and captivating smiles do not guarantee you the safety and comfort you are aspiring for kerala tour package.

Mancation - On Becoming Unforgettable to Her

OK, this will border on being a relationship advice column. Those who know me will say that I am the last person to ask for advice. I respond that every dog has its day.

Shanghai Still Flying High

by Eric Hiss

9008597288?profile=originalAfter my trip to China’s largest metropolis, it took a while for my head to stop spinning — while many world cities are in a slump, Shanghai buzzes 24/7. Orbs, obelisks, rectangles and other geometries take form hundreds of feet above ground while billboards proclaim in Chinglish: “Shanghai: With Luck and Brilliancy.” After sundown, things turn even more electric, as tour boats plying the Huangpu River and shimmering towers create a neon nightscape as brash as any Vegas strip.
