“The Town too Tough to Die” is the way the website starts. Ed Schieffelin was a gold prospector and Indian scout, and had ventured to Camp Huachuca along with a party of soldiers in 1877. Always looking for his pot of gold he ventured out and found silver nearby. But the soldiers teased and made fun of him saying "The only rock you will find out there will be your own tombstone". Thus when... (read more about Tombstone)

On my way home to Hobart from Hawaii, I stopped in Sydney for a few nights. The main reason I wanted to stop in Sydney was to catch a show. Before leaving home, I looked up what shows would be on during my stay. Some time ago, I read a review written by my favourite TravBuddy ‘Sweetski’ on Flamenco Guitarist Paco Peña, and his latest show ‘A COMPÁS!’ Paco and his show would be in Sydney ...

this steakhouse on the bay has beautiful views of the bay bridge and the san francisco sky line. the big windows on all the walls ensure that diners have something pleasant to look at. the ambiance was definitely leaning towards the romantic although groups can enjoy the same without any "romantic pressures" at the upstairs bar called quiver lounge, where it was loud and crowded but still blesse...

In the past 300 years, more than 3,000 shipwrecks have been documented along Cape Cod shores. In 1798, the Massachusetts Humane Society launched the nation's first organized life saving service by providing food and shelter in Boston Harbor for shipwreck victims. The Society eventually set up outposts on Cape Cod in the early 1800's where unpaid volunteers patrolled the shores to warn approachin... (read more about The Lifesavers of Cape Cod)

I had looked for a hotel close to the airport because I was arriving late and leaving early to and from Dublin airport. I didn’t know why but hotel were rather expensive this weekend in Dublin compared to what I had expected. I therefore chose the Clarion which was available and to a reasonable price. The receptionist was very friendly and efficient but what I smiled about the most was the l... (read more about Clarion Airport Hotel Dublin)

We stayed at the Sefton hotel during our trip to Isle of Man. We got a package deal from the "Steam Packet Company" which runs ferries to and from the Isle Of Man. It cost us just over £400 for: 1) Ferry from Heysham to Douglas and back (for four persons). 2) Charges to carry our car on the ferry. 3) One night at the Sefton hotel (two twin rooms). 4) Breakfast. Considering everythi... (read more about Sefton Hotel Douglas)

One of many restaurants around the world with the name “Bella Italia” – this one, in Kaunas, offers… surprise, surprise, pizzas and pastas. Each time I’ve been to Kaunas (that would be three times, as of the time of my writing this) I’ve eaten here. The pictures will be from the most recent time (January 2, 2008) but the most memorable time would have been my first time there in July... (read more about Bella Italia)

Another must do when visiting Oahu, Hawaii is to eat at one of the shrimp trucks or shrimp shacks that line the highway along the North Shore. My favorite is Romy's Kahuku Prawns and Shrimp on Kamehameha Hwy (Hwy 83). The shack or hut is bright fire engine red so you can't miss it even if you are speeding down Kamehameha Hwy. Freshness reigns supreme at Romy's...their shrimp and prawns are ... (read more about Romy's Kahuku Prawns and Shrimp)

Dove yesterday in Aquadilla by approach from the beach. (near Las Ruinas) There was a strong current but it wasn't overwhelming; I found it to be a minimum challenge. Reefs were nice; fish were plenty. We were heading toward the rockline when my buddy ran dry so sand-bound we went. The return was easy and the surf and current was forgiving. For me, I had mask failures resulting in full floods... (read more about Aquatica Underwater Adventure)
