Sinaloa, Cabo with Culture?
October 29, 2007 | Written by Kimberli Waack
This week, I had the opportunity to meet with members from the Sinaloan Tourist Board and must report that I left feeling unusually intrigued. When I’ve considered traveling to Mexico before I’ve wondered about those places that might offer an experience deeper into the country’s heart than a few days on the beach in Cabo or Cancun. What perked my interest about... [Read more]

Jeff Fitzgerald
October 29, 2007 | Written by Jeff
Jeff’s travels across the globe simply began as the annual escape from the Midwest winters to sunny Mexico and Central America. Traveling and living ex-pat on a shoestring, with the “I’ll sell everything I’m carrying, except the clothes on my back and worry about how to get home later” mentality evolved... [Read more]

Paradise, the Belize Barrier Reef
October 27, 2007 | Written by Amanda Southall
“Welcome to paradise, mon!” Our snorkel guide, Abdiel, flashed a bright smile as he slowed his boat to meet us. Just ahead, waves from the Caribbean Sea were breaking off the Belize Barrier Reef, the second-longest barrier reef in the world. The water was a surreal shade of blue, the color of refreshment crystallized by the summer sun. He was right, it was paradise.
The boat rocked gently as we put on our... [Read more]

Considering a Mini Vacation
October 21, 2007 | Written by Steve Smith & Christine Johnson
Several years ago CNNMoney ran an article reporting half of Americans are surrendering eight or more days of vacation a year. It’s very likely that statistic hasn’t improved much since then. Between work and the increased cost of travel, I’m not surprised to find out that this many vacation days aren’t being used.
If demands at work have made this your predicament,... [Read more]

Much More than Machu Picchu
October 11, 2007 | Written by Natalia Paz
To most, Peru is the country where Machu Picchu is located. Yes, this is true, and what an incredible landmark to boast: the incredible Inca ruins made up of huge rock structures built without mortar—so perfect that not even a piece of paper fits in between the slabs—miraculously and majestically sit up on a cliff in the middle of the lush Cuzco vegetation.
But... [Read more]
5 When Sleeping in an Airport
October 8, 2007 | Written by Devin Galaudet
Our plane arrived at 12:35AM. Sadly, the Metro in Athens closed at midnight. The only nearby hotel, while a great one, was way more expensive than what I could justify spending for a few hours. Neither was taking a €65 cab ride into the center of downtown only to take a cab back almost immediately. The option was a dubious one, sleep in the airport! Of course I have done this kind of thing many times in the past: a train... [Read more]
Libations In Yosemite Valley
October 8, 2007 | Written by Jason Fitzpatrick
As a Californian I don’t even know how many times I have been to Yosemite. Whether its in the backcountry or in the middle of the crowded valley there aren’t many places I haven’t been in the park. One thing I try to do every time I visit the valley, is stop by the bar at the beautiful Ahwahnee Hotel for a drink. More often than not, there is some kind of live music, the food is great and they have a respectable... [Read more]
Tasty Salvador
October 7, 2007 | Written by Robin Garcia
Salvador, Brazil, for many tourists, appears as a city that never sleeps. In the day, the streets are filled with people on their way to work, older folk accompanied with their grandchildren on the way to a fruit market, and young people meeting friends on corners with backpacks over their shoulders. Then the sounds of Salvador become eclipsed by the occasional car blasting... [Read more]

3 Traveler Musts in Mongolia
October 5, 2007 | Written by Devin Galaudet
If there is one place that has particular exotic allure it’s Mongolia. I suppose the juxtaposition of land-grabbing Genghis Khan his merry band of plunderers and the joyful serenity of Mongolian families relaxing by the summer yurt
Lucky for me, tonight I had the rare fortune of running into a newly transplanted, and perhaps a little homesick student in Los Angeles. She has only been in Los Angeles for seven... [Read more]
