World Cruise - a relaxing experience
The Comprehensive World Cruise
Have you ever thought what it would be like to just relax quietly under the sun and at
sea-no hustling or bustling, far away from the madding crowds in a casual attire and in clean
air and just a small group of likeminded people as company? You are on a World Cruise- around the world,
Australia and New Zealand, the Orient, South America, South Pacific, Asia, Europe and the Mediterranean.
The ships are equipped with spacious, well-furnished cabins with private facilities having a well-upholstered
lounge, a library, good deck space and a small pool. The fares typically range from $70 to $130 a day and the
world cruise is for duration from about four to ten weeks, but some are two to three weeks and some are longer...
San Diego’s Blooming Balboa Park
Up above the city of San Diego, close to the Charles A. Lindberg Airfield, is Balboa Park, one of the most unique large southern California city parks. There is more to do here for the kids and adults than many other attractions in the Southern California area.
The cool breezes blow through the arroyos that are thick with green vegetation and
bright flowers in the summer. I have visited Balboa Park on many occasions, and you
always see people under shade trees and playing catch and other activities you do at
a city park. But Balboa is different. This is a cultural park as well. Maybe because
of the richest, most influential people in San Diego...
Volcano Walking in St. Kitts A Tropical Wonder
Getting to the island of St. Kitts late at night is something out of a 1940s film noir.
Connecting to the last flight to the island from San Juan, Puerto Rico, was a puzzle. When you get to the San Juan airport, no one is around, no gate agents or even the lonely janitor swabbing the floor. The flight coupon for St. Kitts said Gate A1, but the first gate is B2. There seems to be no A1. I walk the length of the concourse. I finally find a flight attendant that informs me that Gate A1 is downstairs. You can't see it from Gate 2.
Escalatoring down to a sea of people, the A gates are crowded with late night fliers,
all flapping off to different Caribbean points. A short ...
The Passion of the Black HIlls Passion Play in Spearfish, South Dakota
Now that you have seen the emotional and temporal Passion Of The Christ produced by Mel Gibson, take a trip to the high plains for an even more emotional, positive, and enlightening live theatrical production about the last seven days of Christ — The Black Hills Passion Play.
June 1, 2004 marked the opening performance of the 65th anniversary season of the Black Hills Passion Play in Spearfish, South Dakota.
The play, which came to the U.S. from Germany, was first presented in
the "Queen City" of the Black Hill's magnificent amphitheatre in 1939...
Ocean Beach California Discovery - Diamond Head Inn
Stumbling upon the Diamond Head Inn in 2003 was like unexpectedly finding a precious jewel; a diamond in the rough. My husband and I chose this particular hotel for its affordable price and perfect location, accessible to everything that San Diego has to offer, and only a few feet from the wide, velvet sands of Ocean Beach.
Like opening a treasure chest and finding gold doubloons, we were awed to find that
the Diamond Head Inn's hotel room wasn't just a bedroom and a bathroom, but more like
an apartment, or a timeshare! Each suite has an eat-in kitchen complete with dishes,
utensils, and cookware. In case you don't want to use the stove, a ...
High Plains Drifting – From Mt. Rushmore to Yellowstone
Well, aren't I a typical American consumer. I'm sitting at the bar in a "T.G.I. Friday's" restaurant in Fargo, watching a TV trivia game while I await the arrival of my chicken quesadilla. At least I didn't order one of their new "pizzadillas." Criminy...
It's 9:30 and still light outside. Today's drive was short and pleasant. After leaving the Burntside Lodge, I hiked the loop around Bass Lake as planned, then headed down the road to the small town of Tower for a good sandwich at a local grill, where I chatted with the bartender and a local outdoors guide.
Heading west across the breadth of northern Minnesota, I was able to see the landscape
gradually change from wild northern woods (wolves and bears...
Mundo Maya Classics in Cancun, Mexico
While the Maya civilization no longer exists today in its original culture, many of its traditions and lifestyles are still being practised today by the descendants of a people who have gone to great pains to ensure that their history and environment are safeguarded against the onslaught of modernization and expansion.
The Maya have shown skills in writing, astronomy, and mathematics, and have devised
one of the most accurate calendar system up to this day. They settled in the area
known as Mundo Maya: Yucatan. Campeche, Quintana Roo, part of Tabasco, and Chiapas,
in the current countries of Belize and Guatemala, and ...
The Wauwinet Resort -Nantucket Island’s Elegant Hideaway
It is Friday at noon and Robin and I are sailing across Nantucket Sound on the Grey Lady, Hy-Line Cruises third generation, water-jet catamaran, a high-speed ferry that will take us from Hyannis to Nantucket in just one hour. (Opening photo: The Wauwinet draws its name from the land on which it was built, which in turn was named for a 17th century Native American sachem who controlled the eastern part of Nantucket Island. With 35 exquisite rooms it serves guests from May through October.)
Like most passengers aboard, we begin to feel the tug of urban life loosen its grip
as we anticipate the slower pace of island life ...
Mountain Vacations
There are a number of beautiful mountain ranges across the United States that provide wonderful vacation destinations.
A mountain vacation can be an adventurous, fun-filled trip for the entire family, or it can be a secluded and relaxing
romantic getaway. Scenic mountain ranges are found on both the east and west coasts of the United States. The majestic
Rocky Mountains stretch across the western United States from New Mexico up all the way to Canada. The eastern United
States has its share of mountains as well. The Appalachian Mountains run from central Alabama up through New England...
into Canada. Both of these mighty mountain ranges contain numerous tourist spots ...
New Zealand’s Remarkable Lodge
Be forewarned. When you drive up to the luxurious Matakauri Lodge south of Queenstown,
New Zealand, drive a car with a low-roof. Why? Because the Matakauri is so private and
exclusive, that you have to drive through the forest to get to their front door.
In moments, you'll forget the Aspen-like busy-ness of Queenstown (Aspen and Queenstown are sister cities) and arrive in a peaceful oasis. The Lodge is set on nine acres of native bush, partially landscaped with rolling lawns, a meandering stream and surrounded by a pine forest, overlooking the spectacular Lake Wakatipu, creating an atmosphere of supreme privacy and enjoyment.
Don't look for a big sign or reception area. There isn't one...
