Explore the Micronesian Country of Palau

One regret I had about going to the Micronesian country of Palau was not being certified to scuba dive and therefore not having the opportunity to be surrounded by dozens of sharks in the famous Blue Corner. For most people that would be a benefit, not a regret. I actually was certified many [...]

Experience Rose. Rabbit. Lie. in Las Vegas

Rose. Rabbit. Lie. Huh? Even the mention of these three little words to the locals in Las Vegas gave a facial response of a familiar, yet quizzical look. The name had been on the tips of everyone's tongues in Sin City, but not one person had a valid explanation for [...]

If you are going on an African safari there is little doubt that you will want to spot the Big Five, the five animals that are said to be the hardest to hunt on foot. This highly coveted group includes the African elephant, leopard, lion, Cape buffalo and the every so [...]

Eat a Lampredotto Sandwich in Florence

In general, I wouldn't go out of my way searching for a sandwich filled with the cooked stomach of a cow. Who am I kidding? I totally would. So, hunting for a Panino con Lampredotto in Florence was no different than any other weird food I had pursued in the past. A Lampredotto sandwich is a Florentine [...]

Tour an Insect Museum in Chiang Mai

I am typically not a museum girl. Usually, I will sprint through them, snapping photos of all the informational placards to read at a later time, if ever. But, after eating bugs at Chiang Mai's Sunday Night Walking market and being bitten by a dozen mosquitos, I figured it might be a good idea to [...]

Eat the California State Bird in San Francisco

Eating the California State bird? Isn't that illegal? You're not even allowed to pick the state's poppy flower, are you? Technically, neither action is against the law, but there is something so wrong about consuming your home state bird. Yet, at San Francisco's State Bird Provisions, there is also something so deliciously right. There are only [...]

Get Spooked at the Catacombs in Paris

There aren't many things I would stand in line almost three hours for. In fact, the last time was over fifteen years ago to get an autographed copy of Anne Rice's newest novel for my husband. And at that time there was no option for cell phone entertainment. At least while waiting to get spooked [...]

17 Cheesy Travel Pictures to Take

I typically forgo the fanny pack and bright white tennis shoes while traveling, but sometimes I do like to be the cheesy tourist snapping silly photos in front of crowded attractions. I mean who doesn't want to get a picture of themselves crossing Abbey Road in London? Or standing under the famous Las [...]

Eat Pan Con Tomate in Spain

I don't like raw tomatoes. Really. I may be the only Italian restaurateur who will actually pick out every slice of raw tomato in my antipasto or caprese salad. How dare you put those in there letting them infect the rest of the edible goodies. But, Spanish Pan Con Tomate is the exception to the rule. [...]

Attend a Baseball Game in Japan

The chanting of the crowd, the crack of the bat, the action being displayed on the Jumbo Tron and...edamame? The game of baseball isn't just one of America's favorite pastime, the Japanese are passionate about it too, but they do things a little bit different. While traveling in Tokyo, I wanted to see a [...]
