On January 24, 1848, the area now known as El Dorado County was transformed from a backwater area of the Sierra Foothills into quite literally the most legendary place on earth. This is the place that ignited the California gold rush and where legends were created. Today though, while the gold found in the streams around the area is (mostly) gone, Placerville and El Dorado County make a fantastic place for your next guys' weekend getaway.

Loreto Mexico and in fact the entire Baja peninsula has been a destination for adventure-seeking men for more than a century. Whether it's fishing, hunting, surfing, or simply evading the liquor laws during prohibition, Baja has been known as the place to go and have some fun. However, what I love about Loreto is that it's quiet, safe and offers an opportunity to experience the unspoiled beauty of Baja. 

Week-long vacations are extremely popular, but they are not the only option. Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit and created chaos for the travel industry, there has been a surge in a new trend: daycations.

When it comes to bed and breakfast properties, each one is a bit unique but all of the offer an extremely personal experience that is almost akin to the proprietor welcoming you into their home. That was precisely the experience we had a few weeks ago staying at Shari's Bed & Berries in El Dorado County, CA.

One thing that I love about traveling is experiencing new and unique cultures. While this can include traveling to a foreign country or visiting a region like Southern Louisiana's Cajun Country, it also means visiting places where indigenous cultures still thrive in the United States. These people, including their art, food, stories, and traditions are more than just living history. They are continuing to shape the American narrative by maintaining traditions that in many other places around the country are long since gone. 

With the introduction of a new generation of cruise ships comes the opportunity to rethink conventions and try new things. Sometimes those innovations work... and other times they need some tweaking to get right. Norwegian Prima is a great example of this and it appears to be an indicator that Norwegian Cruise Line is moving in a new direction, where passenger comfort and enjoyment are just as important as bullet points on a feature list.

For many of us, our love of comic books began in childhood. Whether we were inspired by the daring adventures of Spiderman or the mysterious world of Batman, there was something about these stories that captured our imaginations and inspired us to dream.

Before our Alaska cruise from Seattle last month we decided to spend some time exploring Seattle and frankly I hadn't been there since I was a child and wanted to focus on the "must do" touristy things rather than get a more locals view experience like I normally do when visiting a new city. The fine folks at Seattle tourism and CityPass offered to provide us with an attractions pass that would normally cost $115 and gave us an opportunity to see many of the iconic attractions the city has to offer.

Press trips are fun but they are brutal. Most of you guys look at the fun and exotic places I go to and probably have a tinge of envy. Don't worry, that's natural - I have major FOMO when I see my friends going on trips that I wasn't invited to attend and they tell me the same is true on their end when they see my updates. One thing remains though, these are not vacations where you can kick back and relax. Instead, we have long days filled with tons of food and drinks - not all of which are what you actually would like to eat... but what the host wants to show off. That unfortunately isn't always the most healthy pattern and so here's a quick peak behind the curtain about how I manage to keep myself going when I travel on press trips.
