I found the true beauty of Bali is in the hearts of its people, in the land, both cultivated and wild, and in the hospitality so freely offered its guests. Continue reading

#EmptyNest | Beach Weekend in Lordship, Connecticut
I’ve not spent more than one night in Connecticut my entire life, so this was uncharted territory. I’d never heard of Lordship, and certainly never heard of Point No Point, the beach along the Long Island Sound where The Surfside Hotel lives. The area is part of Stratford, Fairfield County, a part of Greater Bridgeport. Continue reading
CROATIA | 4 Friends in Rovinj & Beyond
…continued from CROATIA | 4 Friends in Istria & Beyond Day 7 | From Pula to Rovinj After a quick lunch, we loaded into the car again for a less-than-an-hour drive to perhaps Istria’s most beautiful town, Rovinj, Croatia’s “Little Venice.” Happily, we spent three nights here and could have stayed longer. There is 24-hour … Continue reading
CROATIA | 4 Friends in Split & Beyond
Croatia, inspired backdrop for the award-winning Game of Thrones series, much like the fantasy television drama, is (almost) too good to be true. Every vista, worthy of a photograph. Welcoming people, rich culture, and natural beauty abound. Add to that the ease with which visitors can move throughout the county and region, and you have … Continue reading
Surf Safari Hawaiʻi Style | The Big Island
One of eight islands that make up America’s 50th state, Hawai’i is the largest and therefore nicknamed The Big Island. It is also the youngest in the archipelago, and one of the least populated. It’s amazing anything grows at all in the hard volcanic rock that you might mistake for rich soil. This also keeps … Continue reading
Clear Tips On Clearwater | Florida, USA
It was Spring Break for my teenage daughter and friend. She wanted to go somewhere warm. I didn’t want to deal with the continued hassle of international travel in March 2022, so I started looking south, in the good old U, S of A. Almost guaranteed sunny, or at least warmer temps, we decided on … Continue reading
MEXICO, Puerto Escondido & Surrounds
As I was, you may be wondering where in the world is Puerto Escondido? It’s a small town on the Pacific coast of the state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico. You’ve probably heard of Puerto Vallarta—keep heading southeast along the coast. Eventually you’ll hit another city you’ve probably heard of—Acapulco. Keep going and just before … Continue reading

1,000 Islands – Part 2 | Ontario, CANADA – Kingston, Wolfe Island
Kingston was a welcome change from the almost run-down depressed-town feeling we got in Ganonoque. This city is where it’s at! We only spent two nights here, but could have done three, or spent one of the nights on Wolfe Island (see below). Again, we rented a house on Airbnb, which allowed us to be … Continue reading
1,000 Islands – Part 1 | Ontario, CANADA – Ganonoque, Heart Island
This is where our adventure began. My friend and I piled 4 kids into her Chevy Suburban, loaded down with bags and groceries, armed with DVDs and iPads and embarked on our eight hour drive northwest of Baltimore. Road Trip! [PRO TIP: Be prepared to be grilled at the boarder crossing especially if you have … Continue reading
