Barbados’ Beautiful Bougainvillea Hotel

The bougainvillea cascades in multi-coloured blossoms from the balconies and gardens throughout the property. (Please click photo above for instant reservations!)

Death Defying Furnace Creek Ranch and Resort in Death Valley National Park
I'm cruising out of Las Vegas through 120 miles of burnt brown desert, through Pahrump and Amargosa Valley, past the Amargosa Opera House, then heading west at Death Valley Junction. I put the Benz into neutral for a 20-mile coast into Death Valley National Park. There is no Park entrance station, thus no fees, so I smile a desert rat chapped grin.
It is August, heat gripping the landscape in a tight infernal fist. Traffic is light.
Wave after wave of desiccated mountain ranges unfold as I fall into a silent awe,
tires humming, as I glide past Zabriskie Point into the...
