No trip to Boston should be complete without a visit to the storied Fenway Park. Conveniently located near downtown at 4 Yawkey Way (never to be called Yankee Way), the park is very easy to find. And with an airport that is located 15 minutes away, travelers can quickly be at the ballpark after their flight landed. Fenway Park opened in 1912 and is currently the oldest ball park in Major League Baseball. Often called "America's Most Beloved … [Read more...]
Road Trip Part 3: San Diego and Encinitas
International travelers are more than happy to tell you all about the people, places, and cultures of the world. There is nothing that can compare to the experience of exploring ancient cities in far away countries. To be emersed in the customs of a foreign land is an escape from one's self and education in life. In the U.S. we are so fascinated by the cultures of other countries that we often take for granted the diversity within our borders. … [Read more...]

Road Trip Part 2: Tucson to Alpine
When I decided to take my first cross-country road trip, in April of 2012, the destination was originally set as Tucson, AZ. A close friend had moved there a few years prior, and he really seemed to love it. Having spent most of my life in Northern Indiana, I was fed up with cold weather and dreamed of visiting a climate that was completely different. My trip was as much about scouting for a possible move as it was a new adventure. When I arrived … [Read more...]
10 Things I Learned During my Stay in Minsk, Belarus
I recently spent a few days exploring Minsk and the nearby countryside. This city of 2 million+ people is at the same time spread out yet rather compact. The city features an interesting mix of noticeable architectural styles mostly dating from post World War II. Unlike a number of Western European countries, Belarus does not yet seem to be on the tourist route. Prices are fairly reasonable and it is easy to get around the historical core of the … [Read more...]
Yet Another Reason to Visit Boston
History, charm, architecture, food, theatre, culture, arts, sports teams, universities, marathons, regattas and so much else. There are more reasons to visit Boston than I can count. As if it needed any more reasons for a visit... But after my recent trip to Boston, my first one in four long years, I've found yet another one. The Seaport district, just east of Downtown Crossing and across the Bass River, has been reborn from a rusty junkyard to a … [Read more...]
The Greatest Spot in Los Angeles
Los Angeles is like few cities in the world. The mere name instantly conjures up more world-famous sights than I can name - the Hollywood sign, the Walk of Fame, the Getty Center and Museum, the California Science Center, Malibu, Pacific Coast Highway, Sunset Boulevard, Santa Monica and its pier, the boardwalk at Venice Beach, Universal Studios, Rodeo Drive, the Griffith Observatory, the Disney Concert Hall, Huntington Library and Gardens, and on … [Read more...]
Franconia Notch – an easy day trip from Boston
One of my favorite things to do when I used to live in Boston was to spend the weekend in one of the adjoining states. I'd load my car with my dog, grab a backpack and head out to either the Green Mountains in New Hampshire or the White Mountains in Vermont. Because the states in the US northeast are so small, getting there was all too easy. So when I visited Boston recently for a conference, I decided to extend my stay through the weekend and … [Read more...]
Road Trip Part 1: Branson to Bisbee
On April 1st, 2012 I set out on my first road trip from Northern Indiana to Southern California. By November 2014 I had added four more similar trips, each time taking a different route. It's easy to say that the journey is better than the destination, but the reality is, the longer the road trip, the greater the monotony. Fortunately, there is relief that comes from finding great places to stop, stretch your legs, take some pictures, get … [Read more...]
Visit Bonaire, Caribbean – October 2018
Bonaire is a small mostly flat island that is part of the Netherlands' overseas territories.

Very popular with divers - there are numerous marked dive sites - especially along the Queens Highway north of Kralendijk (the primary town on the island). Many of these dive sites can be accessed directly from the shore. The island … [Read more...]
