Montmartre: Cheese, Wine, Pastry & More
This is the third installment of my blogs about my recent solo trip to Paris.
Island Time
Living in Florida has its perks, and one of them is the ability to explore different islands and beaches. This time I visited Boca Grande, just a half hour from my house. I'd been wanting to check it out for a while but had never found the time.
Potion Making
If you're looking for a fun, unique and interactive experience in Philadelphia, The Cauldron is an absolute must-visit. I had the pleasure of booking a visit there recently to celebrate a friend's birthday, and it was a fantastic way to make the occasion even more memorable. The experience cost $52 per person, which included three drinks — one pre-mixed cocktail and two that we got to create ourselves. Each guest was handed a cloak to wear, adding to the magical atmosphere right from the start. As soon as we descended into the enchanted space below, it was clear this was no ordinary bar experience.
Travel Safety
Upon my return from a recent trip to Mexico, I was surprised that, when people learned where I went, I was met with the question: “Is it safe there?” My reply? "I felt no more unsafe than here in the United States."
Excited for Baseball Season
It’s officially baseball season! As you may already know, I am a big Philadelphia sports fan, so the start of baseball season is an exciting time for me. I love the Philadelphia Phillies and am excited to see where this season takes us.
The Many Charms of Dunedin
Dunedin, New Zealand, was our final port call on our December cruise Down Under, and we arrived on a beautiful sunny, breezy morning at Port Chalmers, the city's main port, located about 8 miles from downtown Dunedin. Once again we decided we would explore on our own, and that began with our transportation into the city. Something that impressed me whenever we arrived at a New Zealand port was the cadre of friendly volunteers who stood ready in the cruise terminal to greet visitors as they disembarked. Most seemed to be senior citizens, and each was a font of local information, armed with maps and brochures and plenty of good advice about how to get around and what to see. Our Port Chalmers greeters quickly filled us in on the most inexpensive, easy ride to town: the city bus. We got the low-down on how to make our way out of the terminal and just across the street to the local library, where we were further directed to the bus stop.
Talking Travel with Jim Lampley
Jim Lampley's broadcasting career spans more than 50 years, hundreds of cities, many sports and several continents. Lampley tells his story in his autobiography, publishing next week, but first he gave a preview in our Talking Travel interview.
Making Scents at Olfactory NYC
As part of our New York City anniversary trip, my girlfriend, Brena, heard about a place where you can create a custom perfume scent. At Olfactory NYC customers are invited to refine their own perfume by first choosing one of nine base scents and then selecting from a variety of accords that enhance or complement that core scent.
The Craic
In Irish slang, “craic” (pronounced “crack") means enjoyment or a good time. That is exactly what the production of The Craic at Milwaukee Repertory Theater was.
