Hold On Tight…
Having a hell of a time at the moment and figured I’m not alone out there.
Ladies… Gentlemen… Travelers… Here’s some food for thought:
New Hampshire – First Days, First Impressions
Sometimes a destination is about work… at times it’s about pleasure… and at times it’s about fully decompressing and having a bit of an adventure.

If you happen to be scheduling a trip to Los Angeles for business/pleasure and in the market for a chic, secure, and centrally located hotel – The London West Hollywood could very well be an ideal option for you.

I am thrilled that it is time to welcome the London 2012 Olympic Games!
Since I was a kid, I have always loved watching the winter and summer festivities.
The history and the locations are captivating. I’m fond of tradition and it’s incredible that the Games can unite so many cultures in the spirit of competition.
For me, this is the ultimate event. The energy, the effort, the dedication…it’s remarkable.
8 of the Most Beautiful Places Around the World by Elle-Rose Williams (Guest Contributor)
This week, UK based guest contributor Elle-Rose Williams lists her top picturesque destinations to be discovered or revisited. Take a peek and let me know what your thoughts are!
The world is a beautiful place and for those of us with an adventurer’s spirit there are hundreds of beautiful, spiritual, breath-taking places we can discover and explore. It’s incredible how much variety there is on this amazing planet of ours – so have a read of this list – and make a note of these phenomenal places you shouldn’t miss during your time on earth.
1. New York City
The man-made jungle – this city is definitely a feat of engineering and somewhere everyone needs to see at some point in their lives. The buildings tower above you and you can’t help but feel overwhelmed by it. In the heart of New York City you’ll find Central Park – the huge expanse of green in a city of busy business men and buzzing tourists, and here you find some gorgeous sights to be seen too.

2. Thailand
Thailand is huge and would take a long time to explore – but every step you take is another beautiful sight or sounds. The beaches in Thailand are especially notable – made famous by the film “The Beach.” It really is a haven and a paradise.

A Cheese-Lover’s Tour of Paris by Taylor Ritchie (Guest Contributor)
The Eiffel Tower, the River Seine, the Champs-Elysees–these are mere details placed to ornament the real heart of Paris–cheese! Like the moon, Paris is made entirely of cheese for the true cheese connoisseur and my tour of the City of Cheese uncovered delectable morsels of Comte and untold lunches of baked potatoes covered in creamy Reblochon. If you love fromage as much as I do, you’ll discover that Paris is truly the ideal destination for cheese-lovers.

Community – Such a novel idea!
Recently I took a quick weekend trip to Idyllwild, California. Sitting high above Palm Springs, this quaint and charming town is situated in the San Jacinto Mountains which lie two hours East of Los Angeles.
Idyllwild, California
News of a community based playground project peaked my interest. A community rallying together…on a volunteer bases…for their kids? Their shared goal was to erect a full blown multifaceted playground from the ground up. This seemed too good to be true? Does outreach and cohesion on this level still exist?
