Carisa and I had finally made the decision to visit Havana in late December 2016. We'd booked a flight on Delta and now had the task of selecting a place to stay during our time there. In Cuba, you will often find that "Casa Particulars" or private homestays are offered by families who are looking to rent out extra rooms...
I was searching for a unique place to take my daughter, Carisa for her birthday this past weekend. As luck would have it, I learned about a restaurant that was located in the Cobb County International Airport at McCollum Field. Okay, that sounded compelling enough for me to want to check it out. Of course, I didn't tell her where we...
After months of planning, you're finally ready to embark on that much-needed vacation. Armed for a week of glorious sightseeing, you've got the plane tickets, the rental car and hotel confirmations and an array of outfits for different occasions. But did you remember the most important item of all: a comfortable pair of shoes? We've all seen her, Impractical Irene. The kind...
The Big Zombie Tour | The Walking Dead Last week, I shared my experience with the first part of the Big Zombie Tour in Atlanta. Today, I want to discuss the second part that covered location shots in the small towns of Senoia, Grantville, Newnan and Haralson, Georgia.

I have always believed that you can find little hidden treasures close to home. I think Gatlinburg Falls Resort is one such treasure. It is located approximately six miles from the little town of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee with only the Smoky Mountains National Park separating the two....
I have to admit, before my visit in November, my impression of Amsterdam was that it was a party town, a place to score mary jane and watch lots of live porn. Mind you, this was coming from a very uninformed point of view. The Amsterdam that I actually witnessed is the polar opposite....
There is nothing more comforting when you visit a city far away from home than knowing that your newer and more temporary digs offers you that same warmth and familiarity. I felt that way as soon as I found my way to the second and third hotels that we would be staying at in Paris, France. ...
There's one truth about large cities. There are lots of hotels. Lots. There will never be a shortage of them but there always seem to be a shortage of recommendations of which may be the best ones to stay at. I had the chance to stay at a hotel in Paris called Hotel Paradis. Paradise. That's a lot to live...
