Travel to Bermuda: Not Just a Triangle Print E-mail

Travel to Bermuda

Bermuda is a beautiful and rich island that possesses a charming, old-fashioned, yet calm and exotic, aura. In having visited this beautiful land twice—once for a wedding and a second time for pleasure—I would like to share my positive experience with you.

Officially, the Bermuda Islands (or the Somers Isles) are a British overseas territory in the North Atlantic Ocean. Located off of the East Coast of the United States, with a population of approximately 67,837, Bermuda is the oldest and most populous remaining British overseas territory, settled by England a century before the Acts of Union created the Kingdom of Great Britain. Bermuda's first capital, St George's, was settled in 1612 and stands as the oldest continuously inhabited English town in the Americas.

Life of Mcgowan: San Diego

I merged onto the 5 South out of Orange County, heading towards beautiful San Diego, I looked in the rearview mirror at my reflection, smiling from ear to ear. This trip starts out like any other, on any freeway, until you look west and see the amazing ocean view. You can’t help but smile and get a little giddy, because this is a sign of what’s to come.  Just the mere thought of beautiful beaches, great Mexican food, and the incredible nightlife gave me goose bumps.

As I checked into my hotel in the Gaslamp District, I could feel the excitement in the air.  The weather in San Diego is as warm as Grandma’s apple pie.  It also reminds me of why I chose to live in California.

I started the day by taking a walk around the area in order to check out the scenery.  The people were obviously enjoying their afternoon in the sun, and everyone was absolutely fantastic.  Since it was early,

Taipei: A Getaway Experience Print E-mail
Written by Shai McLeod on Thursday April 01, 2010   

Taipei, Taiwan, Taipei 101

Everyone has a vision of a far-off place—a place that is everything they could ask for. For some, it may be room service in a high-rise apartment, or bottle service at some bourgy lounge surrounded by glamorous sexy women; for others, an unlimited credit card for shopping at a moment’s notice. For me? Not so much. Don’t get me wrong—I’d love to have any one of those things! Shoot…who wouldn’t?!

But as far as I’m concerned, when I think of travel, I think of places far away, where the culture is different. Where the places are exciting and new, and a far cry from the usual weekend at the dive bar around the corner or the movie theatre for some nachos and free refills on buttered popcorn. My getaway is Taiwan. At halfway around the world, it’s not just 180 degrees in distance around the globe, but also in terms of culture and social norms. It’s a great place for experiencing a world outside of the one I’ve become accustomed to, and one that I’ll never forget.

Taipei 101, the tallest building in the world prior to January 4th of this year (2010), is a beautiful and extraordinary feat of architectural engineering. From below it resembles sections of a bamboo stalk, and from above it unveils a spectacular view of the city of Taipei.

Rio - Brazil

As I boarded American Airlines flight 709 LAX to Brazil, I could feel the excitement, the anticipation, and the butterflies of knowing that I was headed to one of the most amazing places in the world.  After a long year of work and no time off, I was determined to just think about life and the future.  During my flight, I made the fateful decision not to make any plans upon my arrival.  I would soon come to the realization that this would be the best decision EVER!  No other place is better to gather your thoughts than “the happiest place on earth.”  Rio is known for its beautiful beaches and gorgeous people. 

After landing, I jumped in a cab and headed straight to Copacabana Beach.  It took about five seconds for me to learn why so many people fall in love with Brazil.  A harmonious union, of people living and thriving as one. 

Brazil is recognized as having some of the most amazing tourist attractions in the world.  I went to Corcovado, Cristo Redentor or as many refer to it as
