Madeira -- Evergreen and Glossy

Since I returned from Madeira on Tuesday night, my mother has asked me where Madeira is several times. “Where were you again?”



“Madeira.”



“I’ve never heard of that. How do you spell that?”



“I’ve told you five times, so I know you’ve heard of the island at least five times. M A D E I R A.”



“What is it again?”



And so it went. And why should she know where or what Madeira is? On my map—the one that hangs over my desk to remind me of my… Continue

8 Things NOT on My Packing List

We've all toiled over what to bring, and all too many times we just throw in that extra item only to have it sit like a rock at the bottom of the bag for the entire trip. This is what I call packer's remorse. It's got all the regret of buyer's remorse, but you end up lugging the useless item around the globe as opposed to shoving it on the back shelf of the closet, dropping it off at good will, or regifting it to that unlucky relative. Don't get me wrong, we love to pack and write about… Continue

Lakesides of the Third World

 If you like to voyage in watery areas, investigate the many wonderful lakes that abound in the Third World, places of amazing cultural scenes, volcanoes, fascinating villages and practices and exquisite beauty. In our hemisphere, my favorite is Titicaca which sits between Peru and Bolivia. This is the highest navigable lake in the world at about 12,500 feet. A delightful train ride through the Andes takes the traveler to Puno, the main lakeside port of Peru. A brief reed boat ride to a nearby… Continue

Ljuljana's Street Art

Walking down a random city street in Ljubljana I saw this impressive bit of graffiti and I wanted to photograph it, but I didn’t have my camera with me at the time. I determined to go back and photograph it the next day. The mural was on the wall of a building that was inside a brick courtyard, with one doorway open to the street outside.

 

It was one of those ambiguous spaces, with no clear indication of whether you were welcome to enter the courtyard or not. I walked through…

"Everything will be all right when we get to Tir Asleen!"- Part II

The Crazy Kingdom



At the end of the Romantic Road are the three incredible palaces built by ‘Mad’ King Ludwig II. We visited Neuschwanstein, Linderhof and Herrenchiemsee, all built by Ludwig II, and a few other historical places in the fortnight we were in Bavaria.



I spent the whole visit trying to figure out from…

Extraordinary Colors of Edinburgh

Whoever said that it always rains in Scotland was probably right. But for an adventurous traveler, this shouldn't be an obstacle, right? Despite Edinburgh's bad weather last weekend, I got myself on my feet to make my way through this mysterious city. 
I must admit that, when I glanced outside the hostel's window and saw the snow, the…

Golfing Holidays In North Wales

Golf Breaks In North Wales

The area around Snowdonia National Park is the perfect spot for a golfing holiday in North Wales. With 8 courses all within easy driving distance North Wales really is paradise for golfers.

Probably the most famouse course in the area is Royal St. Davids in Harlech, a full 18 hole course that was rated the 42nd best golf course in the world. The course lies in the shadow of the magnificent Harlech Castle within the Snowdonia National…

Space Apart London, Comfort Food For the Aching Heart

The very thought of having to leave home and live abroad for a prolonged duration sends a shiver down your spine.

Although nothing can provide for your family and friends, serviced apartments London do take care of everything else.

Service apartments extend the added convenience of being conveniently located in close proximity with your place of work, and the central business district, in…

TravelinWheels Showcases Accessible Beaches in the United States and Mexico

When my daughter Kelsey was a little girl, there was no such thing as heading to the beach, locating a beach wheelchair and enjoying the sand and surf.  Beach wheelchairs were an oddity; something that you considered yourself lucky if you came upon.  The search to find one was endless, and most times I gave up.  When she was small enough, we used one of those long plastic snow sleds, piled her in it, and pulled her across the sand.  That…
