Travel Inspirations – Traveling the French and Italian Rivieras

The Riviera. What does that conjure up for you? Sipping champagne aboard a yacht moored off the south of France? Picturesque tiny villages with steep mountains coming down to the sea? Maybe a glimpse of George Clooney?

Well, there is no place more romantic and just oozing glamour than the French and the Italian rivieras.

It’s difficult to choose between the two – and you don’t have to since they are more or less adjacent to each other along the Mediterranean coast in southeast France and northwest Italy. You can easily visit both.

The perfect spot for that romantic getaway you’ve been wanting — or to celebrate an anniversary – or a honeymoon.

Whether it is Cannes, St. Tropez, Monaco, Portofino, or some other idyllic corner of this region, let’s discuss when you’d like to go!

There’s a lot of talk about “bucket list” trips these days and usually these lists all feature unique, legendary spots around the world.

Travel Inspirations – Planning for 2024

The end of the year is drawing closer. It is never too early to start planning for your travels in 2024.

Sometimes it is good to get off the beaten track and discover lesser-known places that are full of hidden treasures.

Cuzco, Peru is the ancient capital of the Incas and although it is the gateway to Machu Picchu and the Andes, is a destination in its own right with its historic architecture and flourishing culinary scene.

Ko Samuii is a tropical island in the Gulf of Thailand — the gorgeous beaches and warm waters are not the only reason to go – there are magnificent Buddhist temples and caves to explore.

Fukuoka is known as one of Japan’s most liveable cities – with its outdoor markets, historic sites and underground shopping centre. This is authentic Japan.

San Marino

The Republic of San Marino, Italy, is Europe’s third-smallest state (after Vatican City and Monaco), yet has enough charm and natural beauty to attract over two million visitors each year. Perched 700 meters above sea level atop Mount Titano, the republic is a favorite day-trip destination for those visiting other parts of central Italy. After a steep climb to the historic center, visitors will find a whirl of souvenir stalls selling locally minted coins and stamps, as well as tiny restaurants and shops — not to mention a fantastic view.

San Marino has a collection of eclectic museums boasting public and private collections of art, history and general oddities. The Wax Museum and Museum of the Emigrant are both great places to go in order to become acquainted with San Marino’s long history. The Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art houses over 750 works of art dating to the early 20^th century and including drawings, watercolors, photographs and sculpture. In addition to the Reptilarium and Aquarium of San Marino, places like the Museum of Torture Instruments and Museum of Curious Objects house many peculiarities not found anywhere else and give a sense of humor to this tiny Italian republic.

Hundreds of shops, along with two outlet malls and two larger shopping centers, are sprinkled throughout San Marino’s nine municipalities. Designer-name clothing and accessories can be found at the two outlets, Queen Outlet and San Marino Factory Outlet, while the narrow streets of downtown are peppered with countless shops and artisan boutiques.

Products like olive oil, honey and wine are locally produced in the San Marino region, making for the gastronomy of the area rich in flavor. Whether dining at a hotel restaurant or a local sidewalk trattoria, eateries like Restaurant Bolognese, Tre Monti and Il Beccafico will serve up authentic Italian dishes paired with a local sangiovese or moscato wine.

The closest airport to San Marino is Rimini International Airport (RMI), which is about a 30-minute drive from the center of San Marino. There is also no train station in the republic, as the closest one is in Rimini as well. Renting a car is recommended to get to the city. Once inside the walled area at the top of Mount Titano, the area is easily walkable.

San Marino has a Mediterranean climate with continental influences, having warm summers and mild winters. The best time to visit is during the spring and autumn months, when the weather is warm and pleasant, and the natural scenery is in full bloom.

Turks and Caicos Islands to Reopen July 22

With safety protocols in place, the Turks and Caicos Islands will begin welcoming travelers on July 22, 2020.

“We are eager and excited to reopen our borders and safely welcome travelers back to the picturesque Turks and Caicos Islands later this summer,” said Pamela Ewing, director of tourism for the Turks and Caicos Islands Tourist Board. “In the meantime, we are taking every precaution to ensure the Islands are safe and to enhance the exceptional experience and care afforded by the destination and our world-class hospitality partners. Our intention is to cautiously reboot the tourism sector, laying the foundation for short- and long-term recovery.”

Details of the safety protocols will be announced within the next several weeks.

Meanwhile, the destination’s airline partners will resume flights from the U.S., Canada and Europe when the Providenciales International Airport opens on July 22, tourism officials said.

The Grand Turk Cruise Center, however, will remain closed until Aug. 31, 2020, “subject to guidance from relevant health authorities,” tourism officials said.

Other Caribbean destinations are also set to begin welcoming travelers again. The U.S. Virgin Islands will reopen to leisure travelers on June 1, with Saint Lucia welcoming visitors back on June 4.

The Turks and Caicos Islands comprise 40 islands and cays, only nine of which are inhabited. Over the years, the destination has gained a reputation for its pristine beaches, which are arguably some of the most beautiful in the world.

Montana

Known as Big Sky Country and the “Treasure State,” Montana features open land, majestic mountains and friendly people. Most visitors head to Montana to visit one or both of the state’s national parks—Glacier National Park and Yellowstone National Park.

Glacier National Park, which encompasses a million acres, is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2010. The park features craggy peaks and their resident mountain goats, wildflowers and waterfalls. Glacier National Park and the Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada form the world’s first International Peace Park. If there’s one defining feature of this place, it’s the Going-to-the-Sun Road. This 52-mile highway clings to the edge of the world as cars—and bikes—cross over the Continental Divide at Logan Pass. Those who want to brave the road are encouraged to inquire ahead of time because snow can often last well into June.

Yellowstone National Park is home to grizzlies, wolves, bison and bears, along with steaming geysers, waterfalls, crystalline lakes, valleys and hot springs. Yellowstone is the world’s first national park, opening over 135 years ago, as well as one of the largest at 2.2 million acres and 3,472 square miles. It has over 10,000 thermal features, including Old Faithful, which erupts almost every hour. Geographical highlights of Yellowstone include 290 waterfalls, 300-plus geysers, over 1,100 historic structures, 200-plus species of birds, 950 miles of hiking trails and more than 60 species of mammals.

Other reasons people are attracted to Montana include festivals that celebrate the state’s history and culture. The Western Rendezvous of Art, held during August, features painters, potters and sculptors on the historic streets of Helena. The Crow Fair and Rodeo, also held in August in Crow Agency, offers a glimpse into the heritage and history of Montana’s First Nations. The Crow Fair is one of the largest modern-day Native American encampments in the U.S. and is the largest gathering for the Apsaalooke Nation. In addition to the sacred powwow, there are daily parades and an all-Native American rodeo. What the Hay, scheduled for September in Utica, features hay bale. Libby Nordicfest, held in September in the town of Libby, celebrates all things Scandinavian.

Visitors also can trace Lewis & Clark’s voyage by canoe through the White Cliffs rising up from the Missouri River. Enthusiasts can take guided or self-guided trips on part or all of the 149-mile stretch of the Upper Missouri National Wild and Scenic River. The area offers hiking, fly fishing and camping. For those interested in bird-watching, Montana boasts the largest population of trumpeter swans in the lower 48 states and also claims the spot where more golden eagles have been seen in a single day. At the Kootenai River it is possible to see up to 175 bald eagles on a single fall day.

Montana is home to a wide range of lodgings, including some historic lodges. For example, The Pollard in Red Lodge, built in 1893, is reputed for having served Buffalo Bill Cody, Calamity Jane and the Sundance Kid. The Fort Peck Hotel, a classic, wooden hotel built in the 1930s, helped house Army Corps of Engineer employees working on the nearby Fort Peck Dam. Basic hotel rooms still feature claw foot tubs. And the chef will cook up your fresh walleye if you happen to catch some from the nearby lake. Boulder Hot Springs Inn & Spa in Boulder is outfitted with 50 rocking chairs and overlooks the Elkhorn Mountains.
