New 7 Wonders Profile-Petra, Jordan
May 1, 2007 by 6 Comments
…been published around the world and will appear in geography textbooks in Canada this fall. I wish I was more poetic, to be able to aptly describe what the opening walk in Petra is like, but I will try my best. Entering the city, you first see various different sculptures and carvings along the road that winds into a mountain. As you enter the Siq, it seems like you are walking aimlessly for a very long time. After about 20 minutes or so you see…
5 Awesome Things To Do in Lisbon, Portugal

…tour? Very few I’d imagine. I went on one once in Jasper National Park in Canada but it rained much of the trip so I didn’t really get a great experience. However, after my sidecar tour in Lisbon, I can think of no better way to see a city and I highly recommend it! The vintage sidecar picked my friend Dennis and I up at our hotel, the Four Seasons. We posed for a few pictures and then we were off to see Lisbon. The best thing about the tour wasn…

China is taking over the world and there isn’t a damn thing we can do to stop it. Note: This is not an endorsement for or against China an…

…e only Americans there and most of the people were from Israel, Australia, Canada, Sweden and of course the UK. It had been a while for us since we were on a beach that was European in nature. The women were mostly topless and we were in heaven. After a day of enjoying the scenery we went into town for dinner. It’s not really a town though.

Around Halifax
May 10, 2012 by 25 Comments
…ch as Chester are what makes Nova Scotia so charming and although it is in Canada, it has a distinctively New England feel. I highly recommend taking the coast road, route 3, back to Halifax. It snakes in and out of some small towns and villages and also passes two very important places to visit in Nova Scotia.

How Sports and Travel Go Together
December 10, 2012 by 21 Comments
…I knew every sports team in every major professional sport in America and Canada. I knew the cities they played and the states or provinces that they were in. How else would a 6-year-old American kid from Trumbull, Connecticut know where Winnipeg, Edmonton, Green Bay, Portland and Quebec City were?
