Destination ~ South Park, San Diego

I love finding the hidden jewels of big city destinations…how about you? It’s great fun to immerse yourself in the unsung areas that don’t have big promotional budgets to entice you to discover them. So it was quite a delight when quite by chance, I was introduced to the South Park district of San Diego by a fellow cruise ship traveler. Seriously, there I was floating in the Caribbean, when Jennifer Thompson from Monkey C Media gave me the 411. Now I am passing it on to you. Read…

How Not To Travel With Bed Bugs







A few heads were scratched at AOL Travel’s recent story about bed bugs.

We weren’t scratching from the bugs, but from curiosity: Why would author Libby Zay do a piece on the nasty critters?



A comment from a reader actually suggested she needed “to get a life.”



Well, the reality is that the bed bugs infest places that are part of travel, like motels. hotels, planes,… Continue

How Safe Is Your Airline?







The question everyone is afraid to ask: So how safe is this airline?
