Mumbai, also known as Bombay, never sleeps. It’s chaotic, noisy and alive with aromas of street food, incense, exhaust, and perspiration! Rancid odors assault the nostrils as you step over rotting garbage along the streets. The city is in a cloud of dust and our weather app shows a big red ‘unhealthy air quality’ with […]
Let’s just start by saying that Cozumel is one of the top scuba diving destinations in the Americas. Cozumel’s reef system is part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, also popularly known as the Great Mayan Reef, which is the second largest coral reef system in the world. A huge section of this area (120 […]
Many visit Cozumel by cruise ship and end up spending only a few hours on this Mexican Island. While some venture out, others simply stay in the cruise port area and miss out on what Cozumel has to offer. The area around the cruise port is very different than the other parts of the island. […]
Last Friday we visited Bonnet House in Fort Lauderdale for the first time and found it to be an interesting place to explore. The estate is set on a coastal barrier island with lush gardens and walking paths. Nestled in between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, the estate provides a natural habitat for […]
As part of our preparations for an upcoming Cambodia trip, we had filled in our e-visa applications online. E-visas are a great way to save time on entry and certainly beat the old system of having to mail in your passport and wait or go and wait in line at the embassy. Hurray for technology, but […]

The city’s architecture ranges from medieval Gothic buildings, many of which are architectural landmarks, to state-of-the-art modern constructions. What’s more, Brussels is a hub for art and culture, with lots of museums and quirky street art. Top attractions in […]
Let’s face it, an airport terminal or a gate look pretty similar in London, Paris, or your local airport. Why just hang out when you have a longer layover? In most cases with a little research you can put together a short interesting itinerary that can be infinitely more fun than counting passengers at a […]
Leaving from Bayside Marketplace harbor, you can find a variety of cruises that take you out to see the tucked away mansions of the man-made islands in Biscayne Bay just off Miami. You will cruise by Millionaire’s Row, Flagler Monument Island, Miami Beach Marina, Fisher Island, and the Port of Miami. To top it off, you […]
Cruising along the Danube River is a great way to travel at a leisurely pace and watch the ever-changing scenery unfold as you slowly drift by. It’s a very relaxing way to visit some beautiful places and typically the ship stops right by the attractions as these were often built along the riverfront when transportation […]
