Travel, Cruise

Two of the Lost Girls are sharing their trips with us this week. Amanda just returned from Ecuador while Holly ventured to Antarctica.
A trip to Antarctica is like the real-life version of Animal Planet: Where else in the world can you sail past seals sleeping on icebergs or plop down on a snowy beach where […]

What is Green For All?
Green for All has a simple but ambitious mission: To help build a green economy strong enough to lift people out of poverty.
The Dream Reborn Conference is April 4-6, 2008 in Memphis, TN. It is both a commeration of Dr. Martin Luther King and a revisitation of his dream to eradicate […]

The last time we covered the Milwaukee dating scene, the Brewers were playing, Tommy Thompson was running for President and Taylor Hicks was dating locally. None of these things are true any more, and that makes us sad. But at least baseball season is starting soon! Find someone to share those season tickets with at […]

We didn’t think it was possible but St. Tropez just got a little sluttier. And no, Tara Reid wasn’t involved. “Kristen” aka Ashley Alexandra Dupré aka Ashley Youmans posted photographs of her trip there last year. If you’ve been living under a rock you don’t know that Ms. Dupré met the soon-to-be former governor […]

Roma may have beaten Madrid last week in the Soccer Championships, but they can’t hold a candle to Barcelona, ‘The City That Absolutely Doesn’t Take Siestas!’
Barcelona gets more tourists than Rome, but, that doesn’t show. In fact, here you were treated from front to finish as if they still prized your business; from the […]

Pi Day is held to celebrate the mathematical constant π and is usually observed today, on March 14 (3.14, get it?). If you want to get technical you can celebrate Pi Day at 1:59:26 p.m., if you are a seven decimal point kind of person.
The first Pi Day celebration was held at the San […]

There’s a certain romance to the soft, bucolic green hills of Scotland–a romance that wouldn’t normally inspire us to take a trip there with the guys. But after hearing about the whisky festival in Speyside we’re changing our minds. Pack your best tweed jacket for this mancation, and come ready to quaff some of the […]

In Spanish, the word baños actually means “bathroom,” so I found it amusing that an entire town christened was such (but I promise to spare you attempts at potty humor in this post). Jeff and I learned that the name actually referred to the thermal hot springs, or baths, that well up from underneath […]

Can you really kick up your feet and relax when vacationing in a new town, particularly in a new country? More importantly, should you?
The botched-up investigation into the death of a 15-year-old British tourist last month on the spectacular Anjuna beach in Goa, India, comes as a grim warning to tourists who become too relaxed […]
