Everybody knows that it’s not easy to travel internationally with kids. One of the biggest concerns that Julie and I had when we finally decided to have a child was how it would impact our travels. Would it be enjoyable…

One of the things that you least want to think about let alone exercise is insurance, especially when you’re on a trip. However, sometimes reality bites and you could find yourself filing a claim to try to get back some of the unforeseen expenses incurred…

Japan is one of the few countries where you’d be nuts not to use the public transportation system. It’s fast, efficient, pretty straight-forward to use, and it will save you time and money, especially if you’re sticking…

Julie and I have been to Hawaii at least eight times spread out between the Winter and Summer months while encompassing all of the major islands of Oahu, Maui and Molokai, Kauai, and the Big Island. So we…

The purpose of this page is to reveal to you the resources that we have used both prior to and during our trips throughout Hawaii. We have reviewed such resources so we can convey to you which ones we…

One of the most often-reported parameters about a waterfall is its height. How often do you see brochures or websites reporting that Angel Falls is the tallest waterfall in the world at 898m (3,292ft), or some waterfall is X times taller than Niagara Falls, or Yosemite Falls is one of North America’s tallest at 2,425ft, etc. etc.? Indeed, what is it about a waterfall’s height that grabs our attention so much?

Whether or not you’ve seen Niagara Falls, chances are your life has been affected in some way shape or form because of it. Indeed, the granddaddy of the waterfalls in North America has played a pretty critical role in the electricity industry…

Having been to the South Pacific on several occasions (especially since Julie had been a South Pacific travel agent herself), we experienced firsthand the good, the bad, and the ugly when it came to the climate and the weather of Paradise…

This was one of those seize-the-moment trips where we had an opportunity to make a last-minute trip to explore the Great Lakes area at a time when the Fall Colors should be in the process of intensifying…

Cascade Falls was the lone waterfalling attractive that we were aware of in the state of Illinois. Unfortunately, as you can see from the photo at the top of this page, it wasn’t flowing. Given…

Upper Cataract Falls was one of two waterfalls on Mill Creek in the Cataract Falls State Recreation Area (apparently it used to be part of the Lieber State Recreation Area) west of Indianapolis…

Lower Cataract Falls was the other of two waterfalls on Mill Creek in the Cataract Falls State Recreation Area. In a way, this 18ft waterfall almost looked like a twin of the Upper Falls, but the…

Lanternmans Falls (I’ve also seen it referred to as Lanternman’s Falls) was an interesting waterfall mainly due to its appearance right next to the historic Lanternman’s Mill with an attractive…

Paine Falls was a very attractive wide waterfall that seemed to be tailor made for seeing it with fall colors as you can see in the photo at the top of this page. Indeed despite its modest size…

Brandywine Falls was arguably the most significant and attractive waterfall remaining in the state of Ohio let alone the apparent main scenic attraction of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park…

In any case, Julie had the bright idea of having Tahia hand over the bag of potato chips to the homeless person. His reaction to Tahia’s gesture was priceless. He smiled widely, and called Tahia…

Lower Tahquamenon Falls was the other of two major waterfalls featured along the Tahquamenon River in Tahquamenon Falls State Park. While the Upper Falls dazzled us with its size and classical…

The Upper Tahquamenon Falls (it rhymes with “phenomenon”) was easily the most impressive waterfall that we had seen for the entirety of our Great Lakes trip in 2015 that encompassed the Upper…
