Perhaps you heard about the Atlanta couple who got stuck in Mexico, after the husband fell ill during a cruise, and ended up in the hospital. The bill came to $14,000.

Three Days in Paris
My first trip to Europe was in 1983. A five week sojourn through seven countries took five weeks and cost me a mere nine hundred dollars, not including airfare. That amount wouldn’t last nine days today. Of course, my taste in hotels and food has changed appreciably since then. That didn’t stop me from taking […]

A Cancun Resort Vacation
A short five day vacation trip to Mexico is just what I needed to seek refuge from another Chicago winter. Who knew it would be a mild March, although truth be told, I did manage to miss a small snowstorm. A beer procured from an airport hawker at near US prices was ideal for the […]

Sand, Sea, and Skyscrapers – Ten Days in Abu Dhabi and Dubai
Sand, sea, skyscrapers, along with food, in abundance, would be the most apt and description of my trip to the United Arab Emirates. This just completed journey gave me a glimpse into two vibrant, bustling, metropolises. Their efforts to diversify from dependence on oil revenues, seems to be paying dividends. But first, a little geography […]
