Want to go to Europe this winter? You, my cyber friend, are in luck. You can fly from Philadelphia to Frankfurt, Germany for $365. That is insane. There is also a ... [Read this entry]

Cheap Airfares to Malaysia

I will be spending my honeymoon in Malaysia next summer. This didn’t come about by choice, but rather by circumstance. My fiancée is attending an event in Penang and since we both have limited vacation time and funds, we decided to role her trip into one grand vacation.

When we made this decision, I was lukewarm about it. I knew that Malaysia had the tall towers in Kuala Lumpur and I knew that it had some nice beaches, but other than that it was a blank hole in my visual map ... [Read this entry]

Save Money on Canadian Vacations

It doesn’t seem long ago that the Canadian dollar couldn’t buy you the cheapest spot in Monopoly. My how times have changed. The Canadian dollar has leveled against the US dollar and is only getting stronger. What that means for you, dear traveler, is that your vacations to Canada are becoming more and more expensive by the day. That pint of Molson is going to cost more. That gallon of maple syrup is going to eat away at your savings account. The medicines you can’t afford in ... [Read this entry]

If you ever want to get a sense of the size of the United States, hop in a car and drive from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Somewhere around Iowa you will start to wonder when it will ever end.

Low Fall Fares for Football Fanatics

Those sounds you heard this past weekend were the expressions of joy coming out of the mouths of football fans from coast to coast. With college football season underway and the NFL on its way, this is the favorite time of year for those of us who like to sit on the couch and watch grown men exercise. You can hardly blame us for shouting out loud.

Of course, watching football or any sporting event on television hardly compares to being in the stadium watching it in person. The roar of ... [Read this entry]

These Prices are Jamaican me want to go to the Caribbean

When you are an inhabitant of an island in the Caribbean during the late summer months you can’t help but to listen to the winds blow. It is hurricane season and that is a scary time to be surrounded by water. Just ask the people of Jamaica, who saw their island nation pounded by Hurricane Dean.

The one good thing about hurricanes – and really this is a minor thing compared to the many terrible things they cause- is that they scare some people off from travel. Naturally you want to ... [Read this entry]

Put the Pedal to the Metal in Amsterdam

To get a feel for how people in Amsterdam live head to the train station. Next door to it you will see a large parking structure. Nothing unusual in that, except this parking garage isn’t designed to house automobiles. It is a parking garage for bikes. Hundreds and hundreds of bikes all parked in an orderly and tidy fashion.

In a city that is as bustling as any you’ll find in Europe, the bicycle is one of the dominant features. It is widely stated that there are more bicycles ... [Read this entry]

The Winds are fair in Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires was originally named after the Virgine de Bonaria of Cagliari, Sardinia and it was first established as Ciudad de Nuestra Señora Santa María del Buen Ayre. Those early settlers apparently liked their city names to be a mouthful!

Gone are the long names and in their place is the simple and elegant Buenos Aires – fair winds. The simple beauty of the name reflects the modern city that holds it. Buenos Aires is one of those places that will capture your heart and hold it captive. In addition ... [Read this entry]
