Kuwait: February 2012

While researching for a place to live I visited a flat in Salmiya which was built for a hotel then switched to Condominiums just prior to opening.This is on the 16th floor from the kitchen

Moscow: May 2003

Visiting Moscow I experienced the underground metro from World War II era. They were kept pristine clean from the mosaic ceilings down to the floors. It was a thrill taking a ride in this train knowing I was under Moscow. During this visit I ate some caviar and drank some of the best vodka ever

Richland Center, Wisconsin

My hometown area, Alana Springs (the name of the water flowing) during the winter time. The flow of the water can erase all of your stress.

Santiago, Chile

flying into Santiago you suddenly see the great Andes Mountains. The site is incredible and makes me want to return and venture through the mountains for food and culture

Trinidad

The back side of the island reminded me of the television show "Lost". Green, lush amd tropical. I went to the beaches below and visited a special little restaurant hut where Andrew Zimmerman named one of his favorite 5 sandwiches: Fresh Shark..A man dipped in batter and fresh fried the shark filet then put it on a nice big roll. A table next to the hut had about 16 dishes of fresh herb sauces to apply to the sandwich along with a variety of vegetables. It was great

Trinidad

The Parthenon is a temple on the Athenian Acropolis; dedicated to the Greek Goddess Athena, whom they considered their virgin patron. Construction began in 447 BC so to sit among it your mind takes off thinking about who has walked where you are standing..... Over the top of the hill lies some restaurants that were some of the best I ever ate in. Older greek men hand turning meet over coals and then making you a sandwich... I want to go back now

Palms Beach Hotel, Spa & Resort


Was going to get some rest tonight when someone gave me an invitation to go with them to dinner.  Did not know where but I went along.  Turned out to be the Palms Beach Hotel.  I always heard that basically no swim suits were allowed in Kuwait; especially for women.  Turns out that is not so true if you join a place like the Palms for a membership.  They are a great resort type area with outdoor pools, indoor spa and Gymnasium with several restaurants.  Turns out my friend is a member and on Wednesday nights there is always a bbq weather permitting.  Fresh seafood including fish, lobster, shrimps along with Lebanese style outdoor grilling of chicken, beef, lamb, salads, sides, desserts, breads, juices, sodas, etc.  It was so awesome that I cannot wait to take Janet there when she arrives!  I think we have to visit both clubs a few times to decide what we are the most comfortable in!
