…ant it to end. It is gorgeous and seriously enchanting which is fitting in New Mexico, as New Mexico is the Land of Enchantment. I’m hardly a geologist but I have been in a lot of caves in my travels and the caves in Carlsbad Caverns National Park are second to none. And for the record, in the scale of caves in National Parks in the United States, Carlsbad Caverns National Park buries Mammoth Caves National Park in Kentucky-not even close. Carlsba…

W Scottsdale: One of my Favorite Hotels
June 24, 2013 by 17 Comments
…es overlooking the pool; which are great for weekends. However, with these new WOW Suites, it brings the luxury suite experience to a new level and yes, if I could live there, I would! I have almost always been able to stay in suites at W Scottsdale and other Starwood Hotels because I am a Starwood SPG Platinum member and have been for some 10+ years. This means that I am entitled to upgraded rooms at Starwood properties; which often entails suite…
KISS in Regina, Saskatchewan

…s plus a few ones off their new album ‘Monster’. I’d be lying if I said I knew any of the new ones but the old ones like Detroit Rock City, Shout It Out Loud, I was Made For Loving You, Lick It Up and Rock N Roll All Night; which they closed with, all sounded great! The only one they didn’t do that I love is God Gave Rock and Roll To You. To say it was loud in the Brandt Centre is an understatement. It was beyond loud but that’s KISS, that’s what…

My FOX Business Appearance on Money with Melissa Francis
January 4, 2014 by 10 Comments
…eek or so I have been on Your World with Neil Cavuto on FOX News, Good Day New York on FOX 5 New York and Real Money with Ali Velshi on Al Jazeera America. This was my first time on Money with Melissa Francis. I have to admit it’s not my best segment at all. I think the last two weeks of barely sleeping finally caught up to me on this one as I faltered and ‘you know’d’ a few times. However, I still had a good time and as always I appreciate the op…
5 Awesome Things to do in Perth, Australia
February 6, 2014 by 15 Comments
…nd quirky kind of like Perth itself. Strolling the tree lined streets with New Orleans style architecture at times and beautiful old churches will leave you staring. There is also a famous prison in Fremantle and of course a football oval. Fremantle is best explored on foot. Just walk around, take it in, sit at a café and watch the world go by. It is also a popular place for budget travelers and for booking onward travel. Also, don’t miss some of…
9 Places to Stay in Cape Town

…ome people do like that old stuffy feel, similar to the Waldorf Astoria in New York. The breakfast buffet is excellent and if you want to be in the waterfront with great views of Table Mountain, this is the hotel for you. Just don’t expect new. Ashanti Lodge Gardens I spent a week in the Ashanti back in 2004 with my two buddies I was traveling with and we had an amazing stay. It is a guest house that operates basically as a hostel. As I said, it’s…

…o eat pretty much every meal. That said, there are so many places that are new and different that it’s hard to keep up. So if I find myself in the Village around dinner and I want to try a new place, I pull up Gogobot. It tells me all the restaurants in a short radius of where I am and let’s me see the choices and read the reviews and comments. Then I can make an informed decision. I love this feature. Additionally, after I eat somewhere new or ol…
Bloody Seat on American Airlines Flight
August 25, 2014 by 18 Comments
…merican Airlines in general. They simply don’t care! Their PR spin on the ‘New American’ is BS. Just because you paint some planes doesn’t make you new. I have been flying them since 1999 and they are abysmal. Sadly, this USAir merger gives us one less option in the skies and it will only get worse. We need to take little victories where we can and remember that our voices can matter. For more on this, check out some of the banter on my Facebook p…

…and has already become the hot spot in Istanbul. It is a part of the brand new Zorlu Center; which is the trendiest place in town. It has everything from a very high-end shopping mall and a performing arts center, to internationally recognized restaurants like Eataly from New York City and of course 2 Starbucks. It also contains the most expensive apartment buildings in Istanbul and is a destination all by itself. I thought the location of the Raf…
