There are many reasons why actual space travel for civilians is quickly gaining momentum. Corporate ventures, like Mars One, Virginia Galactic and Elon Musk’s space-bound Tesla, have made such voyages closer to being a real possibility.

Club Mobay, Jamaica
The worst part of traveling is always the airport. Always. They suck the joy out of travel. Getting there is one thing – you are amphed up, excited, you have time off of work, escaping “real life” and about to enjoy the vacation you have been obsessing about, so the annoyances of the airport can […]

Camelback Resort opens Aquatopia Indoor Waterpark
This past weekend, Aquatopia Indoor Waterpark opened up at Camelback Lodge in Pennsylvania. I should say, parts of Aquatopia opened up.

While most of the restaurants we saw in the area were more “American” or had a deli or diner feel, Desaki was not only great cuisine, but also a fun family dining […]
Cruising Like Norwegians
We recently took an amazing cruise with Norwegian Cruise lines, sailing on the Breakaway out of NYC. The entire trip was fantastic, one of the best cruises we have ever taken, but the last day was something to remember (and left us excitedly thinking of our next Norwegian cruise). We begun our last day on […]
Winter Fun at Your Fingertips
Winter is a great time to visit the Catskills in upstate NY. With the wide variety of winter sports and activities to do in the area, head East, young man (or woman) when next the weather looks stormy. What a great place to get stranded during a blizzard! When we last visited, it was less […]
Wild Idaho
Idaho is an amazing place, full of natural wonders and a unique history as well. If you visit, you will want to make a stop in Boise, the state’s capital. There is much to see and do in Boise, especially if you have the kids in tow. Some of our favorite things to do while […]
