During a Mother’s Day excursion to Kentucky, I was fortunate to experience a Red River Gorge zipline adventure. I once wrote a piece about adventure travel activities that do not really appeal to me. Ziplining was one of the five I chose. I was staying in a Red River Gorge Cabin Rental, and they have [...]

Chao Phraya wat in Bangkok Thailand

on May 19, 2013 in Adventure travel, Daily Travel Photo, Southeast Asia

On a rare cloudy day in Bangkok, Thailand I took a Chao Phraya river cruise. Although it was cloudy, it was still hot and humid, so the breeze from flying down the river felt immensely refreshing. We stopped at Wat Arun, but we flew past this unknown wat on our way down the river. TT [...]

The song Hotel California is not about any certain hotel, but if it was it sure could allude to the Westin Rancho Mirage Hotel in California. It is a place you can check in at any time, and you just will not want to leave. In this photo, the moon rises over the swimming pool, [...]

Enjoying an outdoor café in Caen, France

on May 18, 2013 in Daily Travel Photo, Europe

While in Puebla, Mexico this year when I saw cobblestone streets occupied with many people sitting under canopies drinking beer and coffee I immediately thought the place felt like Europe. We have outdoor places to eat [...]
