The Views of Victoria Falls Hotel

The Views of Victoria Falls Hotel

by on April 26, 2011 in Destination, Stay Luxurious

I never equated Africa with luxury. I dreamed of rugged safari drives to search for the Big 5,  riverboat journeys through Namibia on the Chobe, and loads of adventure. And yes, I found all that, but I also discovered luxury. Much Luxury. From the South African Winelands, the “foodie” and cosmopolitan city Cape Town, to […]

The stop, a good distance from Windhoek, the capital city, and the coastal destinations of Swakopmund or the red […]

The Royale with Cheese, Cape Town’s Best Burger

by on April 11, 2011 in Destination

The burger. Regardless of where you are in the States, you can usually find a good, even a great burger place. Yet, such a quest can prove rather challenging outside America. Even in destination where you sink your teeth into the very best steak on the planet, as in Argentina (I lived in Buenos Aires nearly two months), the burger […]

Tips for the Top 3 Mayan Ruins of the Riviera Maya

As the Mayan calendar marches closer to its December 2012 end date, many people wonder what the ‘end’ signifies. Do we have less than two years left?

Renting a Car in Mexico and the Road to San Blas

by on March 14, 2011 in Destination, Events, Mexico Travel

Many still consider travel to Mexico too adventurous.  Or I guess to call a spade a spade, they consider it dangerous. I know I meet them. So when I decided to rent a car and take a solo road trip inside Mexico people thought I was inviting danger. I was beyond “staying adventurous;” I was […]
