I travel for the Scenery

A Few Days in Napa Valley

NAPA VALLEY, California – It's part fancy and part country. At heart, it's a small community of laid-back people who appreciate good food, good wine, and good weather. 

Istria, the Better Italy

ISTRIA, Croatia – Hill towns for biking and feasting, rocky coves for diving and skinny-dipping. The Italian fantasy you're looking for is thriving in Croatia. Go before everyone finds out.

Eye Candy: Bali

BALI – Can one small volcanic island really be this beautiful? Take a look around: great beaches, miles of rice fields, a thousand gods. Aren't you glad we're giving away a trip to this side of paradise?

Turks and Caicos Is the Perfect Caribbean Island

TURKS AND CAICOS – If we’re giving points for convenience, ease of planning, water gorgeousness, and we-know-how-to-roll-out-the-welcome-mat-for-visitors, I’m giving the blue ribbon to T&C.

Best Day Ever: Glacier National Park

GLACIER, Montana – Sit back in one of the rockers in the main lobby and crack open the paper in front of the perennially blazing fireplace, which is the size of a small dance floor. 

Mysteries of Kenyan WIldlife

Everyone says the animal that kills the most people in Africa each year is the hippo. Except that mosquitoes kill more. In honor of Earth Day, we ponder the wildlife in Kenya.

Uganda on Safari: The Pearl of Africa

This is proper African jungle, and as the sun sets, villagers will take to the waters to cast their fishing nets and malachite kingfishers will lace figure eights in the skies above you.
