As a parent of two little ones, I often wish there was a way to press the “slow-mo” button on the movie that is their childhood. As the saying goes “the days are long…but the years are short.” Where does the time go? You blink and suddenly they're all grown up. Since the manipulation of [...]
Cyan waters, cloud-free skies, palm-fringed sugar white beaches of pebbly perfection that stretch for miles. You’re tucked away in a hammock, gently swaying in the cool tropical breeze, sipping a chilled rum and coconut milk cocktail, straight from a freshly plucked green coconut.

Wrapped in a rainbow poncho, I peered over the side of the giant airborne picnic basket. Gliding in a hot-air balloon over the moon-like landscape of Cappadocia was surreal. With its predictable wind currents and static landscape, Cappadocia, located southeast of Istanbul in Turkey’s central Anatolia, is one of the best places in the world [...]
Turks and Caicos Islands, which lie southeast of the Bahamas and about 647 miles east-southeast of Miami, are a haven for parasailing, kayaking, horseback riding, deep-sea fishing, scuba diving, kite boarding and all kinds of water sports. I just got back from a four-day weekend getaway and have the up-to-date scoop on the best places to stay and play in Turks and Caicos.
Every year, thousands of tourists come to Maldives looking for fun, sun and a pina colada paradise. A tiny chain of islands in the Indian Ocean, just off the coast of Sri Lanka, Maldives is rich with high-end resorts that promise beach-side relaxation far from the realities of urban living.
