By Carol Stigger on Jul 26, 2015 in Accommodation, Attractions, Europe, Food and Drink, Going Out, Italy, Regions, Restaurants, Travel Miscellany, Vacation Rentals, Vatican City, Western Europe

A lifetime is not enough to explore Rome – make that several lifetimes. The ancient ruins are still being excavated, restored, and preserved for the next millennium of those who seek the wonders of the Eternal City. On my last of many trips to Rome, I was not surprised to make new discoveries and to […]

Think of a sunny destination and Canada may not immediately come to mind, but did you know that the Okanagan Valley in the southern interior of the westernmost province of British Colombia, boasts more hours of sunshine than Rio de Janeiro or Hawaii?

10 things to enjoy in Maine

By Anna Parker on Jul 22, 2015 in Attractions, Food and Drink, Going Out, Maine, North America, Regions, Travel Miscellany, USA

As I rapidly discovered when planning 10 days in Maine, this part of America is enormous and trying to visit it all (or even more than a small corner) in 10 days isn’t possible. Instead we picked the area we most wanted to visit – the coastline between Kennebunkport and Camden. Next time we can […]

5 can’t miss experiences in Chicago

By Hilary Stockton on Jul 20, 2015 in Accommodation, Attractions, Cruises & Boat Travel, Food and Drink, Going Out, Hotels, Illinois, North America, Regions, Restaurants, Speciality Travel, Travel Miscellany, USA

Chicago is sometimes overlooked by visitors, who have heard more about NYC, Miami and San Francisco, but it’s a delightful discovery that many miss out on. As a New Yorker, I loved strolling along the riverfront, with its aquamarine water (a beautiful color, thanks to water from Lake Michigan), the clean air, lack of crowds, […]

The perfect “girl’s day” in Milan

By Mary Clare Bland on Jul 20, 2015 in Europe, Food and Drink, Going Out, Italy, Regions, Restaurants, Travel Miscellany, Western Europe

Milan gets a bad rap. It’s often called industrial, grey and unwelcoming. I prefer to think of it as a mini New York with prettier clothes, properly made coffee, less greasy pizza and better mannered denizens. Yes, the weather in the winter can be a bit challenging, but at least there are no hurricanes or […]

Unspoiled Andalucia: 5 reasons to visit La Axarquia this season

By Alan Hazel on Jul 17, 2015 in Attractions, Europe, Events, Food and Drink, Going Out, Regions, Spain, Travel Miscellany, Western Europe

Few people outside of the region itself know La Axarquia by name. Though technically still part of the well known and well tread Costa del Sol, La Axarquia is in many ways the antithesis of what the Costa del Sol has come to be associated with, having preserved its natural beauty and historic culture, having […]

Mention of the South of France conjures up numerous images, many featuring yachts, casinos and fast cars. Whilst these are undoubtedly hallmarks of the landscape, what often goes unmentioned are the many spectacular and world class natural resources and landmarks that can be experienced, the majority an easy day trip from the popular seaside resort […]
