The best holiday destinations and travel ideas!
Greetings, Today I’d like to talk about getting to know Glasgow, Scotland. There are plenty of different tours in Glasgow and the ones that I experienced are the Glasgow Style City Walking Tour and the Glasgow City Music Tour. I didn’t spend a long time in Glasgow, only two nights but I had a good time, sawof the sights, enjoyed some great food and have the pleasure of exchanging pleasantries with quite a few characters. Glasgow…
Mausoleum of Ataturk in Ankara, Turkey This week’s travel photo captures the impact and legacy of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the leader of the Turkish War of Independence and the founder and first President of the Republic of Turkey. The mausoleum is one of the top attractions in Ankara, along with the Ankara Citadel and Kocatepe Mosque. The magnitude of Ataturk’s legacy is undeniable when you first approach the memorial and …
The Grand Canyon in Arizona is one of the seven natural wonders of the world and a World Heritage Site. This geological wonder is one mile deep, 18 miles wide, and 277 river miles long. Some visitors to the Grand Canyon only spend a few hours there, driving into the park, peering down into the big hole in the ground in front of them, and then going on their way. But there is so much more to see and so many things to do at the Grand Canyon you can easily spend a few days there if not even…
After five years of sharing photos for the weekly photo sharing event #FriFotos, it is with a certain amount of sadness that I prepare this, the last FriFotos post. A few weeks ago the organizers announced that they were discontinuing this Twitter tradition, a tradition whose weekly theme inspired me every week for five years to create a new and unique photo series. I will continue …

Join Vagabondish on Twitter and Facebook. New Mexico in general and the area around Albuquerque, in particular, have been a haven for geeky travelers long before Heisenberg ever “graduated” from high school chemistry to hardcore “cooking”. If you’re a nerd through-and-through — someone who appreciates a good nuclear museum or the physics behind hot air ballooning, ABQ (as it’s known to locals) should be at the top of your bucket list. Here are just five reasons why … #1: Hot Air Ballooning You probably already know…

Downtown Mobile/Tad Denson, MyShotz Mobile, Alabama was established in 1702 as the first capital of colonial French Louisiana. The city, only two hours and 20 minutes east of New Orleans, has much in common with The Big Easy — but also boasts a unique heritage of their own. Along with their French connection and the same explorer-founders, both Mobile and New Orleans are port cities with a similar military and maritime history, late-night drinking establishments, and a long and proud Mardi Gras history. But the delta, the bay, and the proximity to the Gulf of Mexico have as …
A Little Secret Can I let you in on a secret? I’m a little scared of clowns. Don’t ask me to explain the whys, wherefores and what-have-yous. There’s just something about them that leaves me uneasy. So, too, with street performers, (many of whom are, of course, clowns.) From the ones that grab your hand and don’t let go to those others who call out names while you’re not looking, it’s all one big gag reel with yours truly at the …

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to briefly drive through a favorite region of mine, Banff and Lake Louise in Alberta Canada. The only other time I had been there was a couple of years ago in the middle of winter. My snowy experience in this famed winter destination was fun and well worth the adventure of traveling out there, but I was curious what the summer version of this beautiful part of the world would be like. While my experiences were very different, I learned that the answer to this question is truly a matter …

After seven days and nearly 1,000 kilometers on the highways of Alberta, anywhere in Calgary would’ve felt like home. Thankfully, Travel Alberta was kind enough to arrange for Stephanie and I to stay at Hotel Arts, a boutique property in the heart of downtown, whose avant-garde interior stylings—one of the lamps at Yellow Door Bistro, the on-site restaurant, boasts a life-size plastic…
Flickr/David Kernan By Sid Lipsey for Yahoo! Travel Few things are more self-defeating than taking extreme measures to catch a flight. An Italian man learned that lesson the hard way. According to the Daily Mail and the Italian newspaper La Stampa, a 46-year-old passenger was running late for his Alitalia flight from Turin to Rome. So he did what any harried passenger…
This review experience of the Pullman London St Pancras Hotel is part of the “Our World Is Your Playground” project with Global Nomad and The Pullman Life Hub. Just like every review, though, I write what I like and no messin’about. The Pullman London St Pancras Hotel in Review I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what makes a good hotel after a busy few months of travelling and a number of nights spent in some good – and not so good – ones. It’s easy to see what makes hotels interesting: history, design, architecture…
1Dad1Kid.com I initially connected with Lauren through her blog Never-Ending Footsteps. I enjoyed reading about her mishaps adventures, especially as ours were just beginning. I knew about some of her anxieties and multiple fears, but in reading her book How Not to Travel the World I’m honestly surprised she ever stepped out of her parents’ home. When you read about all the places she’s been and discover that she had somehow managed to not eat rice or eggs until her travels in her …
Cruising through France with Uniworld Boutique River Cruises was a great experience for many reasons, not the least of which was the opportunity to visit some smaller French towns I hadn’t seen before. That’s one of the many advantages to river cruising as I outlined in my review of Uniworld, the ability to visit some harder-to-reach towns that you probably wouldn’t experience otherwise. While they may not all have the glitz …
I’m sure many of you have dreamed of boarding one of those humongous cruise ships sailing all over the Caribbean. Sunshine, cold drinks and the ocean, no matter which direction you look – what could be more relaxing than that? But there are times when going on a cruise is out of the question, especially since the economy…
This entry was originally post by thehipmunk on Hipmunk’s Tailwind blog on October 11, 2015 Just like any other type of rewards program, frequent flyer miles are what you make of them. Many people hoard their points in order to purchase flights, and we’re big proponents of that. After all, getting to fly more often means getting to travel more often, and that means opening yourself up to all the unique experiences and lessons that travel …

Earlier this summer, I travelled to Canada, whipping through the west from Vancouver to Williams Lake, Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg, all in search of unusual journeys and festivals to tell you about. Along the way, aside the in depth stories, I noticed plenty more. So, just for fun, here are 33 things travel to Canada taught me. Back with the rest on the Canada page soon enough. Enjoy! 33 Things Travel…
