When cruise ships stop at Pago Pago, American Samoa, boomer travelers won’t find many excursions to choose from, especially if there is limited time in port. Tourism infrastructure on the South Pacific island is minimum, with even independent choices on the slim side. But that doesn’t mean you should hang around the port browsing the [...]

Waikiki?s Hilton Hawaiian Village in Photos & Video
Finally, after many years of wanting to experience Hilton Hawaiian Village, we got our chance in February. Our perfect excuse for staying here was that we were both speaking at Pubcon Paradise which was held in the hotel conference center. The conference was a blessing and a curse in that it allowed us to be [...]

Island Hopping in Venice ? Is it Worth It?

Totally Obvious Things I Did Not Know About Wine
Maybe I have no class (I mean, probably), but I honestly don’t get wine. I love beer. I will go to great lengths to sample local brews and can even discuss them in a semi-intelligent manner. Hand me a glass of wine though, and the most insightful analysis I can usually drum up is that [...]

I took this photo of a retreating glacier on an Innersea Discoveries cruise excursion in Southeastern Alaska.

Urban, Bourbon Exploits in Louisville, Kentucky
Louisville, Kentucky is a city that defies expectations. A city that straddles the American “midwest” and “south,” it’s a little bit of both. I have to tell you, I didn’t expect world-class culinary exploits, one of America’s most unique hotels, and quirky attractions that create a vibe distinctly Louisville. Paired with great value on everything, [...]

Cash Mobs Highlight Small Hawaii Businesses

Hilo?s Not-So Four Mile Beach

Photo Essay: Quirky, Unusual Rome
Rome, the Eternal City, is not my favorite place in Italy. I prefer the quaint coastal towns and rolling countryside to Rome’s dusty, brash persona.
