By Leave a Comment

BootsnAll

If you haven’t heard of BootsnAll, you should make your way over to their comprehensive website. They bill themselves as an “idie” travel site.

Bessegen Ridge located in Norway’s Jotunheimen Nasjonalpark is considered one of the best day treks, if not the best in all of Scandinavia.

All Inclusive Getaways? It’s Not Just for The Caribbean

By Leave a Comment

For many of us the idea of going to an all inclusive resort brings up images of a young couple enjoying a Caribbean getaway during the colder months or maybe a family getaway. Living in New England and being subject to advertisements from places like Sandals, teasing warmer weather during winter from all inclusive’s from […]

Traveling to Bangkok after the Coup d’état – Is It Safe?

By Leave a Comment

In case you haven’t heard, there was a coup d’état in Thailand recently. The military has assumed control over all government and dissolved the current constitution. Brief curfews were in effect imposed my the Junta from 10-5 and then 12-4. After my visit this past week in Bangkok, all curfews had been lifted. The streets […]

The Pros and Cons of Flying Norwegian Air

By Leave a Comment

I recently began flying Norwegian Airlines, a relatively new carrier to the U.S. that is making a big push into long haul routes. Billed as a low cost airline, their expansion has offered some eye catching fares. Though these low prices haven’t been without their pitfalls. There isn’t much “Norwegian” about this airline’s long haul […]

Awesome Thailand Afternoon Sky – Pic of the Week

By Leave a Comment

I was walking around Bangkok during the rainy season when the weather can never seem to make up its mind on what it wants to do. A very brief light shower quickly gave way to a spot of sun and a rainbow creating an almost outer space feel.

JFK AirTrain – The easy way to JFK

By Leave a Comment

Chauffeur Airport Pickup – The Special Treatment

By Leave a Comment

I’ve flown into more airports in my lifetime than I can remember. Sometimes I even refer to cities by their respective airport codes. Newark is EWR, Los Angeles is LAX, etc. The one goal I usually have once I arrive in any given city is to avoid taxis. Normally the first bits of advice about […]

Lincoln Park Zoo’s Frisky Turtles – Pic of the Week

By Leave a Comment

I was visiting the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago with my brother and nephew when we came across this frisky pair of turtles.  Lucky for me I didn’t get the “what are they doing” question from my young nephew!  I thought this would give everyone a laugh and give the whole “pic of the week” a […]

Getting into Bangkok from Suvarnabhumi Airport – Using the Rail Link and BTS Sky Train

By Leave a Comment

Bangkok, like all major cities has a traffic problem. Mass congestion can make a trip from the airport to the city take much longer than needed and of course there is always the risk of taxi scammers. Luckily the option to take public transportation is inexpensive, safe and fairly simple. Once you have arrived at […]

A Taste of Mongolia in Dublin

By Leave a Comment

The idea of stopping to eat at The Mongolian BBQ while in Dublin just didn’t seem right. Ireland, Mongolian food? Well I had my share of Guinness stew and part of the fun of being in a large city is the vast array of food from different cultures. I had passed by this place on […]

A Travelers Review of the Canon PowerShot SX510 HS

By Leave a Comment

I am no photographer. If I am able to capture an awesome image it is because the landscape is beautiful and the camera did all the work for me.  In comes the Canon PowerShot . I prefer the point and shoots just for my limited photography skills. We can’t all be Ken Kaminesky, though it’s […]
