Return To Paradise Diplomatically by Ron Kapon The Marco Island/Naples/Everglades area refers to them selves as “The Paradise Coast.” I hope they don’t mind if I add nearby Fort Myers/Sanibel/Captiva to that moniker. An opportunity to do a good deed and conduct a wine tasting for The Temple at Marco Island brought me to a return visit to the west coast of Florida. I had last visited the region in 2002 and I was looking forward to a few repeat visits and some new adventures Read More...

Soft Adventure in the Great Smoky Mountains

by Terry “Travels With Terry” Zinn Anniversaries are funny things. They seem to come around faster than imagined. I have visited Tennessee’s Great Smoky Mountains three times. Once was on our last family vacation, while I was in high school; once about 15 years ago; and now just recently. I enjoy the area for its unique Americana feel, as do many Americans since it is the most visited U.S. National Park. This year is its 75th anniversary and a perfect time to experience it or plan your next soft adventure visit.Read More..

Roll Out The Barrels in San Luis Obispo, California by Patty Burness Roll Out The Barrels is an organized weekend of great wine and food. Choose from winery visits, winemaker dinners and the delicious pairing of SLO vintners and local food producers. In addition, stroll the streets of downtown – a combination of Art Deco architecture, converted Old West buildings (now cafes, antique stores, galleries and places to taste wine) and Victorian “painted ladies.” Hike and bike if you’re so inclined – parks and trails are everywhere. The green hills and Mediterranean climate of the Central Coast are alluring. Vistas are endless. Read More...

Turkey Today by Ron Pradinuk To suggest Turkey is a land of contrasts is perhaps the most understated claim one could make about the country. Riding on a ferry over the quiet waters of the Strait of Bosphorus which divides Istanbul, Turkey's largest city, one can almost feel the invisible arm of Europe reach over to shake hands with Asia. For Istanbul is not only a city divided by this body of water, but its Eastern exposure is the gateway to the beginning of Asia, while the opposite shores of the Bosphorus represent the last outreaches of the European continent.

Florence, Italy: Food, Art, and Wanderings by Nell Raun-Linde Upstairs in the huge “station” we viewed fresh produce. Signs were posted on displays and with prompting, we could read the Italian: Don’t squeeze. Don’t touch. After more wanderings in the Mercato, past truffles and fish and horsemeat, with stops for cappuchino and expresso coffee, we went on to lunch across the square at Pepo on Via Rosina for tagliatelle al ragu and creamy panna cotta.

Ecuador’s Equator By Mary Anne Lonze

Where can you stand with one foot in the northern hemisphere and the other in the southern hemisphere? How can you feel chilly standing at the Equator? Is that a real shrunken head? The answer to all of these questions and more can be found at a site called Middle of the Earth, located a few kilometers north of Quito, Ecuador Read More...

Friendly Ghosts Meet Romantic Couples in Napa Inn By Emma & Yuri Krasov A "French room" in Napa Inn was furnished with a bed of royal height; antique armchairs with silk upholstery; a small tapestry, china and statuettes. On an aged dainty bureau, fit for writing letters by hand, there was a guest book with a Thomas Kinkade cover, filled with notes like “Our best anniversary ever… Happy birthday to me… Thank you for the wonderful getaway, we’ll be back… This is our Christmas gift, and what a great gift it is...” Read More...
