Bali, the Island of the Gods, with its varied landscape of hills, mountains, rugged coastlines and sandy beaches, lush rice terraces and barren volcanic hillsides all providing a picturesque backdrop to its colorful, deeply spiritual and unique culture, stakes a serious claim to be paradise on earth. With world-class surfing and diving, a large number of cultural, historical and archaeological attractions, and an enormous range of accommodations, this is one of the world's most popular island destinations and one which consistently wins travel awards. Bali has something to offer a very broad market of visitors from young back-packers right through to the super-rich.

We journeyed to Istanbul, Turkey the summer of 2015. I want you to go because this county is beautiful, clean and we felt safe. The people were friendly the food was fabulous. Public transportation was simple. Enjoy my story.
Istanbul was a destination to us because it was a city full of Mosques, history, and the fascinating Grand Bazaar or and I must not forget.... the Turkish Bath. There is almost no other city in the world as romantic as Istanbul. It spans two continents, has inspired thousands of authors and artists, and, as it’s been around since 660 B.C., and it's a conglomeration of architecture rivals Rome. Rick Steve's Istanbul travel book was so helpful.

My Trip to Grace Bay Club, Turks, and Caicos. But before I let you know about my experience let me tell you a little about the Turks and Caicos Islands. The Turks and Caicos consist of 40 different islands and cays, only 8 of which are inhabited. The islands of the Turks and Caicos are almost as diverse as its people. From the main tourist center of Providenciales to the quiet and tranquil islands of North and Middle Caicos to the historic Capital Island of Grand Turk; each one offers a different experience and a unique character but all offer year-round great climate, beaches, and underwater activities. Grace Bay Club is located in Providenciales. But most of the islands are only about 10 to

Don't want to be home for the holidays? This was the perfect trip. This was one time of the year when no one was looking for me. Enjoy the un-tourist guide to the islands of Belize
This was our first trip to Belize and we are so very glad that we chose Ramon's! Best place to stay. We got out of Belize City on the mainland and had our hearts set on Island Life. We took the ferry from San Pedro and out to Ambergris Caye The staff, especially Jack, made our trip even more memorable! No TV and Wi-Fi were not the greatest in the room but decent in the restaurant and beach area We booked two excursions through the dive shop and both were great! Highly recommend Hoi Chan and Shark Alley snorkeling.

For many tourists, Ecuador travel means only one thing: the Galapagos Islands. They say the island are being overrun with people. I being one of them. But the time that I was on the islands I did not see many people because all the rules that you must be with a certified guide has truly made the Galapagos an experience that should be on every ones list of places to see. I will talk more about the Galapagos later. The rest of the country really deserves more than a quick stopover on the way in or out and I wanted to see why this county has a two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The cultural heritage of Quito was so important that it was the first city in the world to be declared World Heritage Cultural 
I love wonderful stories of places I want to go. When I found this story I wanted to share it with my readers. Enjoy!
The Andaman Islands, closed to foreigners until 1995, are the ultimate tropical mystery in that cabinet of wonders called India. Tony Perrottet loses himself in a place of unearthly perfection, where crabs climb trees, elephants swim, and man has barely left his mark
"Just don't swim in front of him," whispered Sanjit Biswas, a worker at the jungle lodge where I was staying in the Andaman Islands. "That can spook him." My guide from Bangalore nodded in solemn agreement. "Rajan's a little bit fussy. Sometimes he just won't go in, and nobody can really force him."
Okay, I thought,

High-backed comfortable chairs, surround sound, cup holders built into the armrests, extra leg room, “black box” screen aspect ratio ... these are just some of the amenities offered in the modern state-of-the-art motion picture palaces.
Airlines, of course, offer none of that.
In fact, as human experiences go, watching a movie on an airplane is generally considered to be as entertaining as reading the SkyMall catalog for the third time. It’s just there, like the “Occupied” signs on the lavatories and the occasional updates from the pilot over the P.A. system.
But is it really that bad? Does flick-watching on a plane get a bum rap? If you’re 
Here I go again off on another adventure with my teenagers. This time we were on our way to explore Yosemite and to go white water rafting. We cheated and took a plane from Orange County to Fresno and rented a car to save six hours of a boring drive. Before we arrived in Yosemite we went on a two-day white water rafting trip on the Tuolumne River a class 3-5 when it comes to getting wet. We stayed the night at the Groveland Hotel. The hotel was a traditional bed and breakfast complete with a teddy bears to snuggle with. The next day we went to the meeting spot to join Zephyr White Water Rafting Company for two days on the Tuolumne river.
I arranged to have our own boat and we loved it.

I was looking for someone else that experienced what we did. The park is beautiful but they have to get more trash cans and many more people to stop the children from peeing everywhere. I am not bashing Shanghai. The Tron light cycle ride was amazing. Pirates of the Caribbean was like being in the movie. The soaring over the world was beautiful. But the people that were at Shanghai Disneyland the day were there were pushy, trashing the park, and when you hear a loud announcement asking that you do not allow your child to defecate in line. You know something has to stop.

July 9, 2015, Istanbul, the meeting place of West and East containing a whole new world inside it. Can you imagine being able to visit these places and feel history? Feel the pulse of this part of the country? The history enriched with the mix of old and new all have their own attractions, not any other place can be so rich to start my journey with my son Michael (21) and we reached this beautiful destination on June 10th. We visited the exotic and soothing Turkish spa to refresh our tired souls to get the energy to explore this amazing place. We explored Istanbul from June 10th - 16th.
From Istanbul, we embarked on 17th June to visit Cappadocia to view the fantastic honeycombed hills. The 
Cappadocia is the only place in the world like this. Cappadocia which is unique in the world and is a miraculous nature wonder is the common name of the field covered by the provinces of Aksaray, Nevsehir, Nigde, Kayseri, and Kirsehir in the Central Anatolian region. We had a short direct flight from Istanbul. We had hired a company to show us the area. I am so glad I did because they showed us really why this part of the world is so special.
Cappadocia became famous for its unique landscape of valleys and unusual rock formations, known as "fairy chimneys". The formation of the strange landscape started during the third geological period when three volcanoes located on the edges of this region
