Visiting Cuba: Is Now a Good Time?

IMG 9940 scaled

Good news for Cuba, President Joe Biden on June 1 of this year has finally gotten around to revoking a series of restrictions on flights to Cuba that were imposed by Donald Trump allowing US airlines to fly to all of Cuba’s airports. Unfortunately, this falls short of fully reinstating the Obama administration policies towards Cuba.  A bit disappointing for folks who would like to travel freely to the island. I was fortunate to visit Havana, Cuba in 2017 when President Obama had lifted US restrictions, allowing travelers to independently travel to Cuba without being part of an authorized travel program….

Surprised to learn that The New York Times after 17 years is no longer the sponsor of this iconic travel show that is so much a part of the industry.  A sign of how the global pandemic has impacted the travel industry faced with back-to-back years of a downturn economy trying to recover.  No surprise that the show has plenty of sponsors who want to carry on with what attracts over 30,000 attendees every year. This year’s show was scheduled in March instead of January when folks generally are planning their travels.   Needless to say, COVID has broken many routines in our lives that we are adjusting to with more to come. …

It’s going on four years since we all heard the devastating news of Anthony Bourdain’s suicide. So many of us who watched Anthony’s show inspired by his unique talents and love of travel would have never guessed that he was that unhappy and in that much pain.  Director Morgan Neville helps us understand the uniqueness of this amazing storyteller and how things began to spiral out of control.  How fame, money and freedom for some folks can be unmanageable, overly consuming and a path toward darkness.

Frankly, I yearn to go back and visit the ones I missed. Are you itching to travel this spring and summer? If so, here are my picks with tips and photos to hopefully inspire you to GO (this year or any year).

January is practically gone and COVID is still dominating the news and affecting our plans to resume a normal life.  Omicron, while slightly peaking in some states and countries, has limited all forms of travel both domestically and internationally with new confusing restrictions.  We are all itching to jump on a plane to leave behind our homes and away from freezing weather. In the northeast, we have been consistently experiencing below 20-degree temperatures.  The month of February can be just as tough, causing cabin fever among many of us who yearn for a warm, breezy sunset on a beach…

California Northern Series: Final Stop … The Golden City of San Francisco

IMG 2423 scaled

Last leg of a 10-day road trip through California coastline arriving at the state’s most quintessential city.

Next and final stop is the quintessential city of San Francisco. A city where the contrast between the rich and the poor is exacerbated by the growing housing crisis and, more recently, the pandemic.  Yet it is a romantically alluring city with so many distinctive iconic landmarks to revel in.   There is so much to see when visiting this city, beginning with the Golden Gate Bridge to the popular Alcatraz Island. The architecture of the city is just truly exquisite, stylish and diverse. It represents a combination of Victorian homes of every type from gorgeous Queen Anne styles to Gothic and Tudor Rival structures, including some very cool contemporary modern architecture.
