Yucatan Exploration of Mayan Archeological Sites By Bonnie Neely This is one of the most welcoming and beautiful places you will ever travel, and the holiday opportunities and adventures abound. With careful planning to maintain the natural exquisite environment, the tourist industry there has made every effort to anticipate the traveler's every need and desire while protecting one of the most beautiful places in the world. The central town is Playa del Carmen, about a half hour south of the Cancun International Airport. Riviera Maya has many archeological sites with well preserved pyramids and ancient cities...Read More...

Three Wonderful Weeks in China By Bonnie & Bill Neely At a fraction of the cost of going through any other tourism agencies, Travel China Guide gave us one of the most perfect trips we have ever had. We highly recommend their services. They certainly know their country and selected the best for us to experience. When the Olympics were televised and the announcers gave accounts of unique places and experiences within China, we found we had experienced nearly everything they told about, except eating bugs! We found the food wholesome, fresh, and delicious! Almost everywhere we went was exceptionally clean and all the people were most helpful and friendly and proud of their country. Read More...

Postcard Perfect? By Kregg P.J. Jorgenson “Looks a little different than it does in the postcard,” said my wife glancing from the picture to the approximately four million, three hundred and thirty five thousand, two hundred and seventy two other tourists who just also happened to be visiting the steps at the same precise moment...Read More...

Winter Reality Skiing By Andrew Der A common misperception is that skiing is difficult to learn, only best done in one's younger years, and expensive lessons are required. I am living proof that this is incorrect because I never touched a ski until I was 40 and am now a competent intermediate skier of 54 (gahh!). Here are some insider and less publicized tips to get started very quickly: Read More...

Bollywood Meets the Wild West Topped off with a Dollop of Spiritualism By Nancy S. Tardy India! Many love it; some say they hate it; but no one is indifferent to this vast subcontinent teeming with almost one billion people. A kaleidoscope of color swirled and shifted endlessly; people, cows, and vehicles pressed in closely. Pilgrims chanted, turned prayer wheels and elbowed past us to present gifts to Jawalamukhi, the Mother Goddess of light.A cacophony of beeping horns, barking dogs and shopkeepers hawking their wares assaulted the ears; while dust, rotting garbage, exhaust fumes, incense and tantalizing food aromas tickled the olfactory nerves. This is life as glimpsed in the small villages and towns in the Himalayan foothills Read More...

FLORIDA: Fort Lauderdale to Key West By Neha Kirpal Florida has some very unexplored and beautiful places that are a must for travelers to see! Our trip to Florida consisted mainly of the sector between Fort Lauderdale, Key West and Miami. One of the smartest ways to get around the area is via hiring a car. Public transport is very hard to get around.

Special Wines In Hong Kong and Macau By Ron Kapon Early in 2008 Hong Kong abolished its 40% duty on wine and subsequently saw a 78% increase in volume with a 215% increase in wine values. The room was packed with Chinese and foreign bidders with tons of press coverage. The auction brought record prices Read More...

A Beautiful Culture Being Driven to Extinction By Antonio Graceffo Beside a small house, we meet a woman making thatch for roofs. It was toward the end of the dry season, when people would begin re-thatching their roofs in preparation for the rains. The army provides the civilians with food, but there isn’t a lot of cash floating around. Making and selling thatch is one way that people can earn extra money. Read More...

Don't Leave Me! By Dawn Kairns Needless to say, we took him with us to Utah, thanks to pet-friendly motels. Dogs were not allowed in Bryce Canyon itself or Zion Park. What would we do with Bob when we went hiking? We found he did much better when we left him in our car, but only in cool weather, rather than the motel room. Between lots play, a crate in our Subaru with the hatchback open, Rescue Remedy (a homeopathic for stress), and a local daycare, the three of us had a pretty darn good trip. Read More...
