The Incas left their legacy here in a big way as did the Spanish Conquistadors. This legacy materialized into a treasure house of antiquity, history and unique lifestyles.

Sweden Vacation: Stockholm’s Nordic Charm and Beauty Will Enthrall You
Stockholm has a very unusual geographic layout for a capital city. It is built on 14 islands connected by 57 bridges on an archipelago of 24,000 islands and islets. If that sounds daunting, it need not be as it is a city easily explored on foot or a short ferry ride from one island to […]

I won’t be talking […]
If You Liked Paris, You’ll Love Berlin, Germany!
I have lost count of how many times I have visited Paris. Obviously there is something that pulls me back there again and again. However, after my first Berlin vacation, I found a new “love.” I could describe the city as Germany’s “Paris”, with its wide boulevards, interesting architecture, quality cultural scene, dining possibilities, and […]
The Joy of Shopping on Your London Vacation
Why is a man writing about shopping? Wouldn’t this subject be more suited to a woman? Well, yes it is in my opinion, but being married to a “professional” shopper, I have been taken to places by my wife where I would normally not consider spending my time.
