Imagine revisiting “Dirty Dancing” at its original locale – and visiting the site where Baby and Johnny practiced “the lift” – possibly the most famous dance routine ending ever?

Arriving at Winchester, Virginia is entering a time capsule. This is no artificially created commercial attraction. Rather, it’s a real place where important chapters of American history were written and remain.
International resorts like The Farm at San Benito are offering special medi-holiday care for women transitioning thorugh menopause.
The Paradise Camp Snowcat Dinner Tour shuttles hungry and thirsty tourists from the village at SilverStar Mountain Resort just outside of Vernon, British Columbia to Paradise Camp -- a distance of eight kilometres and a vertical gain of 760 metres. Paradise Camp, at the top of Powder Gulch, is SilverStar's breakfast and lunch spot by day and a candle-lit snowcat dinner restaurant by night.
A visit to an elephant sanctuary provided balance and excitement in the megatropolis of Bangkok, a mind-boggling array of contrasts – for every luxury highrise hotel and office tower there are budget digs and shacks, and for every ritzy restaurant and designer store there are sidewalk food stalls and street vendors.
It’s virtually impossible to wrap one’s head around Egypt’s 6000 years of history, but I was determined to try as I had dreamt of visiting this magical place for so long, and had a story to write.

St. Augustine, Florida is America’s oldest city at over 450 years. A city that old has a lot of history to haunt - a lot of death and despair to permeate the landscape - and the spirits of St. Augustine are sufficient to keep ghost tour operators very busy. First ghost hunting tip: go for the stormy weather, recommended by dedicated ghost hunters to provide more energy for the “manifestations” to draw on. It was a misty night: check!
With colossal smiles on our faces and the wind in our air, we’ve hit our stride on Seven Mile Bridge. This is no normal bridge and no normal trip. The 11.3-kilometre span is part of the Overseas Highway through the Florida Keys from Miami to Key West. And, it's a prime example of how the journey is just as important as the destination.
Aside from the sense of awe at Egypt’s iconic attractions, we encountered a multi-layered society that accords equal respect to both ancient and modern, and earned a well-deserved appreciation for the people and their fascinating lifestyle and culture, which added other dimensions to our visit.
