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 […]

by on January 27, 2011 in Beach, Destination

The Cape of Good Hope might not be the beach one dreams about when imagining the idyllic with frozen drinks and palm trees.  For that, it might be more of a pacific island paradise, such as the Gili islands. Nonetheless, it’s clear blue water and landscape to provide a spectacular scene. Plus most all travelers […]

Wake Up to all Five Senses at the Desert Lily

Wake Up to all Five Senses at the Desert Lily

by on January 25, 2011 in Destination, Where to Stay?

It’s no secret I am not normally a morning person. It often requires special circumstances for me to wake before 9am. But if anything can alter my standard behavior it’s Mother Nature. And she did during my visit to Joshua Tree. During my travels to Joshua Tree National Park I enjoyed the desert scenery, the […]
