Venice, Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp Shine in "The Tourist"

I admit it: I'll go see just about any movie set in a great locale, even if I suspect the plot's a stinker.

We'd been warned: "Pretty people went to Venice and made a pretty movie. Joining them won’t be thoroughly…

So it was Dominican night at La Hispaniola Restaurant, an on site restaurant in Punta Cana's Bavaro Princess Resort. The court yard outside was bustling with artisan craftspeople.

Top 10 Wildlife Parks in India

The call of the wild is a sign that you cannot ignore. It can haunt you on a dry summer day or during the cold winter nights.

As the monsoons drift away, the call gets louder and louder, as the jungles wear a fresh coat of green and the denizens come out into the open. It is the season for some migratory birds, as well.

Some of the national parks that were closed during the monsoons are thrown open to the tourists who heed the call and start travelling.

So, if you have…

The Konfidentiel Hotel, 64 rue de l'arbre sec, Paris 75001

This hotel is aptly named, in a small street (“rue de l’arbre sec”) near the Rue de Rivoli, the hotel-restaurant “Konfidentiel” is hard to find.



This jewel is different than anything I could find in Paris in terms of hotels. Many words can be used to define it: luxury, unusual, charming, intriguing. The Konfidentiel has 6 suites, all referring to French history, but shhh!!! I did not tell you more I leave it to experience for yourself.



The restaurant will dazzle with its… Continue

They offer tickets for the Louvre museum, they are always happy to help you,… Continue
