Madame Tussauds New …
Lub-d Hostel, Bangkok
I would have to say that Lub-d Hostel is one that lives up to its tag lines. They used to have “Sweet Dreams” as their tag line but I guess they’ve changed it to “Everyone Leaves as a Friend.” Perhaps, one of my best experiences in terms of the …
Soldiers’ National Cemetery, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
It seems strange that a place like Gettysburg, full of war, strife, and contention, should have a peaceful haven like the Soldiers’ National Cemetery. Despite the circumstances of the horrible battle of July 1863, the place where Union soldiers found their eternal rest is a calm and relaxing place. …

Lani Kai Beach Park
Lani Kai Beach is one of the most gorgeous beaches on this planet. It is just too bad that it is such a narrow stretch of sand lined with homes with very little room to accommodate all of its admirers at the same time. This beach is …
Surfer’s Paradise
As a resident of the Gold Coast it became very apparent to me what the term ‘tourist trap’ actually means from the time that I spent at Surfer’s Paradise.

Costa Rica’s Caribbean Coast

Liberace Museum Las Vegas
It is my considered opinion that one cannot truly say you have had the ultimate “Vegas” experience until you have paid a visit to the Liberace Museum. This one-of-a-kind tribute to the career of one of the greatest showmen of his time is everything you would expect from …

Islander on the Beach, Aston Resorts, Kauai, Hawaii
