Cavaillon, Provence, France

Who goes to the South of France in Winter? Well, we did. Sure, anyone can recount the stories of a Provence where they sipped pastis in a shady town square, wandered through fields of lavendar, or woke to the sounds of cicadas. But what is there to do long after the summer toursits have gone home? Join us as we show you another side of Provence - truffles, Christmas markets, and mistrals.

Albany, New York, United States

We began our trip in Sleepy Hollow at the Old Dutch Church. We wound our way up the Hudson via West Point toward the Catskills. You can't come this far without going a bit out of your way to see the actual site of Woodstock out in Bethel. Then it was back to the Woodstock/Saugerties area and into the Catskills. Time was running short, but we made it to Cooperstown to see the Baseball Hall of Fame. The second day was somewhat more relaxing as we headed to Saratoga Springs, Fort Ticonderoga, and Lake Placid located deep in the Adirondacks.

entry & travel map

Dublin, Ireland

When you imagine Dublin, you can't help but think of pubs. A contraction for "public house", these establishments have long been gathering points for writers, thespians, politicians, revolutionaries, and just your average guy looking for refreshment. Perhaps nowhere else is the pub woven into the fabric of life as it is in Dublin. There are pubs throughout this fair city from the overpriced touristic strip along Temple Bar to the working man's refuge of Noel Leonard's near the Guinness brewery. There are pubs of literary fame such as the Oval and Davy Byrnes from Joyce's Ulysses, McDaids where Brendan Behan often over-imbibed, and James Toner where William Butler Yeats reputedly had his first and only pint in a pub. Near the famed Abbey Theatre, the Flowing Tide has long been a meeting place for actors and playwrights as was Neary's near the Gaiety Theatre. There are also key historical pubs such as the Brazen Head, a place of drink since the Norman occupation, Patrick Conway, the Old Stand, and the Bailey, all of which have connections to Irish politics.
