One Day in Hangzhou

Right after one day in Xiamen, I spent one day in Hangzhou and thought it was the perfect amount of time. Hangzhou is a city that is rapidly developing and there is a lot of construction. At the time of writing, they were building a brand new airport and honestly it seemed like 10,000 new […]

One Day in Xiamen

Just like one day in Guangzhou; one day in Xiamen is basically the perfect amount of time to see the best of what it has to offer. Obviously one day in Xiamen or any city means you have to do some hustling to see and do it all but it keeps you busy! Xiamen is […]

One Day in Guangzhou

After my one day in Zhanjiajie, I had one day in Guangzhou; which was a great introduction to a truly stunning city. I was very impressed with Guangzhou, a city I knew very little about other than it was a big airport hub. I didn’t realize how modern, clean or nice it was. It’s a […]

One Day in Zhangjiajie

Zhangjiajie is the place that inspired the movie, Avatar. The scenery looks fake. It’s truly unbelievable to see in person. I loved every second of my one day in Zhangjiajie. It was a very busy day but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Here’s how I planned the trip and how I spent one […]

Astana is a Fascinating City

On my last trip to Kazakhstan I remember being mad I didn’t plan to visit Astana. I was so concerned with fitting all the Stan countries into my trip that it was too far out of the way to visit. In hindsight, I’m glad I skipped it because it wouldn’t have been nearly as interesting […]

Quick Guide to Hong Kong

I need to redo my 30 best cities in the world list. Hong Kong isn’t near high enough. I had been to Hong Kong 3-4 times but never for more than a day except for 1999 on my first ever trip to Asia. I have obviously changed a lot since then and so has Hong […]

Christmas in Chengdu, China

Christmas in Chengdu, China was never a thing I planned or even thought about. It just kind of worked out that way. After my amazing cruise from Saigon up to Hoi An and Denang, plus Ha Long Bay in Vietnam-Christmas in Chengdu, China became a reality. And the crazy thing was I loved it! Chengdu […]

Ha Long Bay From All Angles

Ha Long Bay in Vietnam was recently named one of the Seven Wonders of Nature and rightfully so in my opinion. I visited back in 2010 on an overnight junk boat tour. It was cool but nothing compared to my latest trip with Azamara Club Cruises. I saw Ha Long Bay from all angles. Sailing […]

Day Tour of Hoi An and Danang

When we pulled into Danang Port onboard the Azamara Club Cruises Azamara Journey, the weather was looking really ominous. It had been a rough night at sea and I was hoping the rain would hold off and the sun would come out. It took a little while but that ended up happening! That made for […]

Singapore Grand Prix

I am probably the biggest sports fan you know. I love all sports all over the world. However, Motorsports is the area where I struggle to have major interest. I have been to the Indy 500 and also a NASCAR race in Fort Worth, Texas. Yet I didn’t really get into it. However, after attending […]
