The nation of Dominica in the Caribbean is looking for a handful of groups of two people to come to their nation and experience all that they have to offer. You can learn about the opportunity at the Dominica Challenge website. Note that applications are due by … [Read more...] about Avid Traveler and Aspiring Filmmaker? Dominica Welcomes You!

Eye of the Crocodile in Cairns, Australia [Photo of the Week]

by

While I would like to say that this photo was taken in a naturally occurring setting, the reality is that this Crocodile photo was taken while at Hartley's Crocodile Adventures in Cairns, Australia back in 2011. Come to think of it, maybe it is a good thing that I was not in a place where I was this close to crocodiles, because that would have meant a few too many wrong turns … [Read more...] about Eye of the Crocodile in Cairns, Australia [Photo of the Week]

Across the Lake from San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina [Photo of the Week]

by

There's something about cities situated on lakes and surrounded by mountains that makes me happy. Queenstown, New Zealand is one of those cities - a place that is famous for allowing you to both downhill ski and water ski in the same day. San Carlos de Bariloche in Argentina is another. Situated on a lake, it serves as a gateway for those who want to visit the rugged … [Read more...] about Across the Lake from San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina [Photo of the Week]

Photo of the Week: Christmas Markets in Milan

by

Jeffsetter has been radio silent the past 7 days and for that I apologize. I shut the laptop down before we boarded our flight to Milan and didn't pick it up for a solid 4 days. Since I only write posts on my laptop (not on the iPad), that meant no posts while I was in Milan. I finally picked up my computer in the Milan departure lounge to download and organize the 600+ … [Read more...] about Photo of the Week: Christmas Markets in Milan

[Friday Photo] Fall Colors on the Blue Ridge Parkway

by

In November of 2011 there was an engagement party for Mrs. Jeffsetter and me in the Roanoke area of Virginia. We chose to fly into DCA airport and then drive to our destination on the Blue Ridge parkway. It was such a beautiful drive that I couldn't help but get out of the car and take photos every 10 minutes along the way. For those of you who have never been, the Blue … [Read more...] about [Friday Photo] Fall Colors on the Blue Ridge Parkway
