This Week?s Destination: Langkawi, Malaysia
2008-02-25 14:00:00 Welcome to Malaysia ! We had a tough enough time covering Costa Rica so we decided not to try and cover an entire country ever again.

This Week’s Destination: Montreal, Canada
2008-02-18 14:00:00 Welcome to Montreal ! Or should we say “Bienvenue a Montreal!” I wish we could put those little accent things where their supposed to be in the word “Montreal.” Anyway, for this week’s trip destination we’ve selected a city that is rich in history and culture, yet took a turn in the 60’s to create a fun, modern, bustling city. Montreal has a great story about it’s heritage and you can feel free to read more about it on one of the Montreal Tourism sites we found.

This Week’s Destination: Costa Rica, Central America
2008-02-11 14:00:00 Have you ever walked on a beautiful beach path and looked at the trees? You look up and it’s kind of amazing. Imagine those same trees filled with little monkeys and a Caribbean type of wind blowing. At the same time you feel the moisture of the forest and yet can see beautiful clear water.

This Week’s Destination: Mykonos, Greece
2008-02-04 14:23:00 And we finally have Europe in our sights! Let’s get on over to Greece shall we? While we can sum up Mykonos as best as we can, Mykonos Web does it better. “Mykonos is a grand example of unique cycladic architecture set around a picturesque fishing-village bay. Totally whitewashed organic cube-like buildings fit closely together to form a kind of haphazard maze of narrow alley ways and streets. The earthen colors of the bare hills which surround the town’s gleaming whiteness is set between the aura of an incredibly blue sky and even deeper blue sparkling sea. Its many well preserved windmills and hundreds of tiny red-roofed churches adds a flavor of culture and custom to the scene, enhanced even further by many museums and the historical ancient site of nearby Delos. Together with being friendly and open people, the ... More About: Week , Destination

However, it appears that St. Maarten is back in full force and Phillipsburg ... More About: Week , Destination

They say the minerals give off a positive energy. Look, whatever it is, whether you ... More About: North America , Week , Destination
