Friday Postcard: Hoboken, New Jersey
I may owe New Jersey an apology. After years of family road trips up and down the turnpike, I may have agreed with the common “America’s Armpit” assessment. That was until I had a Jersey native offer to show me more of what his state had to offer. After spending a sunny evening sprawled on [...]

2 September 2010
During a recent trip to Sri Lanka I had the pleasure of taking a three-day train ride through the Tea Mountains. The first leg of the trip was about two hours and went from Ella to Hepatale. A days rest in Hepatale to explore the Tea Plantations, drink the tea and enjoy the peaceful mountain [...]

When I originally conceived the idea of this Round-the-World trip, the plan was to leave in December 2009. By the time that August had rolled around, I realized I wasn’t going to have anywhere close to the money I’d need to get things rolling, and I made the decision to postpone until September 2010. It [...]

27 August 2010
The House of Terror in Budapest is more than just a museum, it’s a memorial to the many, many Hungarian victims of fascism and communism during the long 20th century. The building that houses it was once a prison and torture center for political dissidents. The history here is still raw and painful, but it’s [...]

About 50 km South of Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, is a pristine coastline of white sand beaches mixed with rugged rock formations. You can rent a villa or apartment for a decent rate and enjoy the peace and quiet of the serene environment. In the morning fishermen walk the beach with their morning catch offering [...]

17 August 2010
Rome is enormous, and that’s why I love it. It’s not just that it’s a big city (although it is), or that it has an unmistakable frenetic energy. Rome is one of those European capitals that is truly epic. It’s history stretches two and a half thousand years back, far past the time of Jesus [...]

12 August 2010
I know we are all fans of independent travel around here, but there are times when nothing but a tour will cut it. Today’s guest post describes an adventurous, budget, African safari. “This is not a holiday, it’s an adventure,” Michel, our Mozambican guide, informed us. Excited and a little nervous, we settled into our [...]

10 August 2010
I wasn’t actually in rome for Christmas, just until December 23rd. It sure felt festive though: It was a great time to visit; festive and cheery, lacking in tourists and good weather. It might have been geography, or just luck but compared to chilly Venice and Florence, Rome was downright pleasant. At times it seemed [...]
