Two friends at work and I are trying to plan a Christmas trip to somewhere warmer than New Haven...and one of them says Arizona is where we should go. All I know about Arizona is from old westerns and a Barbara Kingsolver book. I know it's got...

Belgium has more than 10 factories of chocolate and around 16 chocolate museums. With Brussels being the...

If you are preparing a trip to the city of sin, you may already have wondered how transportation works in Las Vegas. Something that is not always taken into account the first time you visit Las Vegas is the great distance between hotels. And it is that, although it seems that everything is very close, the reality is far from that. The Strip is 7 kilometers away, and although we simply want to go from one hotel to another, we will have to walk, go through bridges, go up and down escalators...

When the movie Dil Chahta Hai came out in the year 2001, the one thing most of us wanted to do was go on a road trip to Goa with our friends. Why wouldn’t you? The movie showed us how much fun a holiday with your friends can be. You would huddle with your friends and plan the things you can do and the things you would want to do. The only thing that would stop you was the fact, back in the day, you would not have enough money and borrowing from your parents would be a bad idea. Those days...

It's easy to make a crotchety list of over-rated things, but also important to remember that one man's meat is another's poison. I have no argument with some of the items on the list, but I'd like to speak in defense of some, too. To dismiss Las Vegas as a theme park is to miss the point. It IS an adult theme park, and its wonderful tacky self is why I like it. That and the fact that it's a cheap landing point for Death Valley and the Grand Canyon/Boulder Dam. Never been to Loch Ness, but...
