I have never made it to Wisconsin but the more I hear about this state I should plan a trip sooner than later. Sitting on the banks of the mighty Lake Michigan just north of Green Bay by about an hour is Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. Every season is a good reason to visit here.
With winter vastly approaching, the state of Wisconsin definitely feels the cold and chill in the air especially being near the lake. Winter activities like skiing, snow-shoeing, ice-skating and sledding are all very prominent in these neck of the woods. Of course, the Green Bay Packers make for a good time if you can weather “the weather”. I have always enjoyed watching the Packers play in the snow on TV just to wonder how they keep hold of the football. You can definitely find respite indoors and curl up in front of a nice cozy fire and enjoy a hot chocolate or latte at the local cafe or at one of the many quaint bed and breakfasts that can be found in the area.

When visiting the Central Rockies in Colorado, one usually has to go near or through the town of Vail. Summer and winter activities abound here and therefore attract many a visitor from Denver and beyond. I know that when I think of Colorado cuisine, elk, venison, trout and buffalo come to my mind but that is only the tip of the iceberg.

Staying with a host family can be such a great experience, it’s hard to know how to thank your hosts properly.

The best memories of my recent trip to Ecuador come from the family in Quito that graciously opened their home to me.
After nearly two months of traveling, home-cooked meals and real beds with clean sheets were just what I needed. Plus, my host-family had lived in Quito for decades and were eager to share their city with me.

“Let’s take the laptop!”, she exclaimed. “O.K. , That’s fine.” he said.
STOP!???? ????? WAIT!???????? ?HOLD-UP!
Easier said than done! A lap top is an expensive travel companion; it contains private and personal data; and is easily lost, stolen, or damaged.? Here are a few tips for keeping your electronic little friend safe and more travel-ready:
1.?? TWEAK YOUR GEAR
Many lap tops have detachable drives (DVD-CD) or different size batteries with varying battery life.? This may make it smaller, lighter, more portable, and/or more functional?depending on your needs.

The Best Pizza on Earth! Period!? After tasting pizza in multiple countries and on multiple continents, I have concluded that Lorenzo’s on South Street in Philadelphia is by far the best ANYWHERE!? The single slices are so large that they must be folded to fit a on a standard paper plate.
