An Ode to the COMO
We’re steering off the boulevard (pun intended) this time around and instead of highlighting a particular street in a fascinating destination, the recent experience at COMO Metropolitan Miami Beach warrants a dedicated post to the property. Sitting along coveted Miami Beach in the heart of the city’s Art Deco district, the COMO Metropolitan is everything…

Las Vegas Boulevard
Las Vegas is dubbed the Entertainment Capital of the World. Now, the world is a big place so that proclamation brings with it great responsibility and expectation. But after several trips to the city, I understand and appreciate why Las Vegas has the right to that title. At first, I used to think that the…

It was partly because of its majestic view and partly because I spent the last hour clambering up its steep steps – close to 1,000 according to our tour guide Kobe. The steps spiralled around and along Danxia’s great, red-rock…

Panama City Beach
Yes. Twenty-seven miles of white, powdery, cocaine-like sandy beaches is what Panama City Beach (PCB) is known for. Twenty-seven miles of beaches colliding with the turquoise Gulf of Mexico water is what makes Panama City Beach the top contender. Located in northern Florida, just under the state of Georgia, PCB has won a ‘best beach…

Jefferson Parish
Lance, the tour guide at Airboat Adventures in Lafitte, LA, was so mesmerizing and maybe a little crazy. The only reason I’m calling him crazy is because he put pieces of chicken into his shorts’ pocket, plunged into the murky bayou waters, calmly swam toward an alligator, prompted him to open his jaws and placed…
