Make the most of your vacation time by doing a little research on how to find the best deals. You can travel almost anywhere on the planet when you book cheap hotels that have earned impressive ratings. Travel in style with smaller hotels and kiss the corporate chains good bye. From island hideaways to the unique boutique hotels near to the most expensive New York City real estate, there's a best bargain deal waiting for…

There are few hotels in the United States with a more emotional history than New York’s Millenium Hilton.  At 55 Church, it sits literally across the street from the World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan.  During a recent stay I struck up a conversation with one of the staff who runs the business center.  She was working in the hotel on September 11th, and more than ten years later the trauma of that day was still evident in her face while she spoke about it.  The hotel sustained…

Our world is a very hectic world where things are carried on at a very rapid pace. Most of us lead a very hectic life and at times even tend to work 24x7 with barely anytime for even eating or sleeping to cater our professional requirements. Stress has become our long lost friend and it is slowly sucking the marrow out of our lives. The reason why most people end up doing so is to secure the future of themselves and their loved ones. However, in the process you…

New York is one the busiest and the most populous and most renowned city in the United States. New York is home to the United Nations Headquarters, and has been often referred to as the cultural capital of the world. Historically speaking, New York City comprises of five boroughs, each of which composes of a state county. The five boroughs - The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island were amalgamated into a single city in 1898.



New York…

The Finger Lakes region of upstate New York is famous for, among other things, its multitude of waterfalls. And the waterfalls become even more amazing, if not appealing, when storms cause floods to roar through the gorges. Tropical Storm Lee last September was the biggest such event in the past year. We will wait and see what nature brings us this year!

Here is Buttermilk Falls in Ithaca during Tropical Storm Lee. See more images from the area at my blog,…

The long cascade of Buttermilk Falls in Ithaca, NY is fun to look at from a number of angles. For more than ten thousand years, Buttermilk Creek has been splashing down the steep east slope of Inlet Valley, just a few miles from the south end of Cayuga Lake, the longest of the eleven Finger Lakes. Over the millennia, the creek has polished out a charming gorge that ends in the long, frothing falls.

Check out my latest post on my blog, with seven large photos of Buttermilk Falls as…

Every November, as the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade concludes and our turkey dinner digests, New York City begins…

As a kid, I watched movies and television shows that highlighted the magic of New York City.  The romance of places like The Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, Times Square, and Central Park have been forever etched in my memory.    There is always something to do; dining, sports, shopping, Broadway Theater, music, or just walking the city streets for some of the best people-watching anywhere.  Then, there is the legacy of the attacks of the World Trade Center which have forever…

As the summer begins, and we look at a busy season of travel, I fondly looked back to some of our favorite places around the United States.    We have been fortunate enough to have traveled widely and done so many interesting, and accessible, activities while on the road that it was hard to narrow it down!   I thought I would share with you some of my favorite places in hopes that it might spark your wanderlust, too!

Coeur D'Alene, Idaho - Just 30 minutes…

We tried not to gawk. Seriously. But this town was simply incredible. At this point, we had already seen a guy with a boa constrictor draped over him and had posed with Bumblebee.

Yes, we are THOSE tourists. But please. We had never been to Vegas. This was all new and crazy and fascinating to us. It…

Since 2008, nearly 20,000 daily seats have been eliminated from the greater New York City to Las Vegas air travel market.  The Northeastern US also has a growing number of casinos popping up from Atlantic City to Southeastern Connecticut.  As the economy begins to repair…

I love the New York Times' "36 Hours in [city]" series - it's informative, interesting, and gives someone unfamiliar with the area a general idea about what to see or do. With their recent article about Seoul, I found myself agreeing with a couple parts - and disagreeing with others. My only criticism is that their itineraries are... well,…
