The year 2013 may be known as a year of travel insecurity. From airline crashes to cruise ships, international events and alerts around the world, along with terrorism threats should serve to remind all of us, that travel is never without risks.  Although no one can guarantee total safety, and the tourism industry continually works to improve its security, there is and there will always be an element of risk.  Furthermore, no matter how much security is provided, it is still the traveler's perso

I met a woman and her husband in the airport recently, while we were waiting to board our flight out of Costa Rica. They were tanned and relaxed, and had been enjoying the country’s beaches and rainforest … all for free! They had won a work contest to sell the most furniture for their company and earned the free incentive trip. This was actually the couple’s second year in a row to win – last year they went on a cruise to Mexico.

This is pretty ingenious – sell a lot of products for your company,

Today, weather in Hanoi is very nice. It is cold, sunny and have wind. I thinks if you take a photo, walk around with somebody... it will be very fantastic.

Well…I am impressed.  America’s first wine country not only boasts some solid wines, but also has its very own state grape glass – the Riedal Crystal Norton Wine Glass. Hardly anyone gets that, let alone a small wine district in the middle of the country.   I had a chance to taste some great wines in that glass and spend a few days in Lake of the Ozarks and Columbia, Missouri, hanging out at some great wineries, tasting and talking with owners, winemakers, and chefs. If you’re headed to the Midw

This trip to Erie PA we spent the day at Presque Isle State Park (Pennsylvania's only surf beach) and then spent the evening at Presque Isle Downs and Casino.

Presque Isle State Park is an arching sandy peninsula that extends 7 miles into Lake Erie and consists of 13 miles of roads (loop around outer edges of the peninsula), 21 miles of trails, 13 beaches, 2 lighthouses and a marina. The varied habitat includes sandy beaches, dunes, thickets of shrub, grassy areas, willows, cottonwoods, ponds

Normandy spreads over the northwestern corner of France, a region blessed with a stunning natural beauty, one that once inspired the impressionists. With its lush green pastures and orchards, Normandy remains a largely untouched paradise. With a wealth of unique attractions, it is a holiday destination that will entice you back time after time. The beauty of Normandy has inspired world famous artists, such as  Pissarro, Boudin, Sisley and Monet, returning from all over the world to the region, t

De todos los trenes de lujo en la India, el Palacio sobre Ruedas es probablemente el más conocido, y junto con el Orient Express es considerado uno de los diez mejores trenes de lujo en el mundo. Sin embargo, el palacio en las ruedas es algo más que un vehículo de lujo, sino que es como dar un paso atrás en el tiempo a los días pasados ​​de la Maharajah, con el estilo y servicio que es digno de un rey. Sin embargo, un lujoso interior no es el único que pone el tren palacio en tres principales ca

"Fuck you I'm French." (Photo used for illustrative purposes only, I have no idea who this guy is. )

“Fuck you, I’m French.” Really,  this was the response to an air marshal aboard a Delta flight from Nice to New York by a passenger when confronted by flight attendants for repeatedly smoking in the restroom. I guess all the no smoking lamps and little signs aboard the plane were not as strong as his nicotine urge. I can almost understand this. Nice to NY is about 8 hours in the air. If you factor

Uno se queda prendado en Estambul con su peculiar estilo de vida a caballo entre dos continentes y su poso histórico, pero los alrededores no le van a la zaga. En torno a la capital económica de Turquía surgen lugares sorprendentes que bien merece la pena visitar. A 12 kilómetros de Estambul, ferry mediante, se encuentran las Islas Príncipe, en el plácido Mar de Mármara, donde en la época de Bizancio se refugiaban los miembros de la realeza. Hoy en día está repleto de turistas que se tumban al s

Most people visiting Nosara head straight for Playa Guiones, which with its beautiful white sand and consistent surf break, is one of Costa Rica's most favored surfing beaches.

This breezy Blue-Flag beach is reputed to have the most consistent surf on Costa Rica's Pacific Coast with "surf-able waves here over 300 days a year," reports the Visit Nosara tourism website. Guiones Point at the south end of the beach juts way out into the Pacific and is a swell magnet, attracting both north and south f

Jazz in Kansas City is not like jazz in New Orleans or in any other great American music city. It’s a little more bluesy, a little heavier on the keyboards and bass, not so bold with the brass. They call it “cool jazz” here, jazz that’s a little gentler on the spirit.

In case you didn’t know, Kansas City is where jazz grew up. After its birth in the Big Easy, the music migrated to KC and became a smart-aleck teenager, with attitude and a vision for the future. That’s what

Move over potatoes, grapes are coming.  Idaho’s state slogan was “famous potatoes”, it has evolved to “great potatoes, tasty destinations”; undoubtedly, at least in part, due to the wonderful wines being produced along the Snake River Valley.  With a climate akin to the Columbia Valley in Washington State, and elevations similar to Spain’s Rioja region, Idaho produces primarily Bordeaux and Spanish varietals, with a smattering of German vines.  While some wine was produced here as far

Dominica, The Nature Island

Are you dreaming of an island escape this winter?
There are numerous places I like to resource for travel views and news.  One is The Globe and Mail  Travel section which I read when in Canada.  Another is The Telegraph from England which had this to say about Dominica in a feature about the Caribbean. "Mountainous, covered in dense rainforest, with tumbling waterfalls, a boiling lake and rare parrots in the tree canopies Dominica is the Caribbean's nature island par e
