Packing 101

As a wife and mom with family on both coasts and several places between, I’ve done my fair share of family trips, and I can tell you the most important thing to pack: Sunscreen.

American Cuisine – Italy Style

In the fall of 1995, my mother treated me to a four-city tour of Italy. From Rome to Milan, we traveled the country, enjoying the historic sites and making plenty of friends along the way.

Food and Fun in France

To celebrate my husband’s 36th birthday, we took a trip to Paris, France. For us, it was the trip of a lifetime, and the lead up to our departure made it pretty clear why.

For me, an art history major, travel has always been about culture, history and art. I’d been abroad before, but somehow I’d never made it to France. All I could think about in the days leading up to our trip was the Louvre, the Musee D’Orsay, the Pere Lachaise and Versailles – all the wonderful museums and historical sites I would finally be able to appreciate in person.

Unaccompanied Minor

When I was a kid, I was a frequent “Unaccompanied Minor.” My parents, divorced and living in different states, often shuffled me back and forth between them. As early as age 6, I was flying on my own – and I’d easily earned my own captain’s wings by the time I was a teen.

Belgium's Interesting Facts

When it comes to interesting history Belgium is a country which we all need to now about.

It is small and seems even insignificant compared to Germany and England or France but this is where the headquarters of big international organisations like the EU and NATO are. The country has very high living standard thanks to several things but most importantly because of the industrial revolution and the colonies which were part of the country during the 20th century. These lands made many countries, including Belgium very rich. 

So, what you will need to know before going to Belgium and how can you do it easier? 

Things to Know About Israel

Israel is thing and small country suited in Asia, with shores in south-east of the Mediterranean Sea. The neighbor countries of Israel are Lebanon, Jordan, Syria and Egypt and of course the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The largest city of Israel is the well known Jerusalem and it is the capital of the country and the headquarters of the government.

The Travails Of A Traveling Liverpool Supporter

Lately, it has been taxing work being a Liverpool supporter. Our season started so brightly despite the fact that we were lacking our captain Steven Gerrard due to that recurring groin injury because our new signings in midfield and up front – Charlie Adam, Jordan Henderson, Stewart Downing, Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll – had been purchased for an outlay of over £110 million and much was expected of them.
