Cycling in Vietnam / Photo Shoot Into The Sun
It was eerily similar to swimming.
Water gushed through my helmet, down my hood, and into my face. My gloves and shorts were saturated, weighted sponges clutching my skin. Peeking out from worn sandals, my toes lapped up street water with each pedal stroke.

Are you tired of the crowds and high rise developments along the beach? Do you long for a quiet stretch of white sand where you can relax in solitude? Then, travel to The Forgotten Coast of Florida for the beach vacation of your dreams.
The Forgotten Coast is the area in the crook of the Florida panhandle (also know as the Big Bend) that spans the pristine coastline from St Marks Lighthouse on the east to Mexico Beach on the west. Along the way are Port St Joe, Cape San Blas, Apalachicola, Carrabelle, Eastpoint, St George Island, Lanark Village and other obscure small towns and barrier islands.

Located in the southern coastal region of Maine lies Ogunquit, a little artsy resort town whose name means “beautiful place by the sea” dubbed by the Algonquin Indians long ago. Ogunquit is known for their white, sandy beaches that stretch 3 miles up and down the coast inviting the guest to get some sun and play in the sand. Maine is famous for its’ rocky coast line therefore making Ogunquit a diamond in the rough. Many visitors walk the “Marginal Way” which is a mile trek along a craggy cliff that shows visitors the undulations and variance of the Maine coast.

If you happen to be traveling from London on Eurostar and poke your head into first class, you’ll probably see Mark Smith in Seat 61.
He’ll be reading a copy of T.E. Lawrence or enjoying the unspoiled (and unobstructed) scenery with his wife, Nicolette, and their year-old son, Nathaniel.
While he claims they live as an “ordinary family” in Buckinghamshire, Mark (a career railway man) is anything but ordinary to the 400,000 people a month who visit his website, The Man in Seat 61 where he outlines his favorite routes for train and ferry travel.

Travel, oddly enough, is often a quest for rootedness and connection.
The travelers who penned the outstanding stories that feature in this week’s edition of Tales From the Road all seem to be in search of a single moment when they feel at home in the world, in tune with the music of the universe.

Los Islotes is a?protrusion of rocks?rising sharply?out of the Sea of Cortez off the tip of Espiritu Santa Island in Baja, Mexico. As you approach it, you are awed by gnarled shapes of the rugged guana covered cliffs. It’s not until you get close that you realize there are hundreds of golden-colored sea lions lazing on the rocks. These wild creatures?have chosen Los Islotes as a rookery and, if you are very polite and respectful, they?may allow you to swim with them.

Imagine a forested valley surrounded by awesome mountain scenery. Add some sparkling lakes, clear streams teaming with fish, a variety of unique golf courses and a world class ski mountain and you have Mont Tremblant, Quebec, Canada.
This Laurentian Mountain resort is one of those rare places where all four seasons allow visitors to realize their vacation dreams. In the winter, it offers not just alpine skiing, but ice skating, sledding, ski touring, snowshowing and comaraderie around blazing bonfires - all in the fairytale setting of a winter wonderland.
While the other three seasons can surprise you with just about any kind of weather, you will not be at a loss for things to do. Hiking, mountain biking, fishing and golf are some of the most popular activities in the Spring and Fall.

Washington is the tallest peak in the east at 6,288 feet and is the perfect setting for your outdoor adventures. With over 700,000 acres - White mountain National Forest offers the best in year-round activities.
