I always loved the idea of cruising, but I was never a fan of those large massive cruise ships that stop by busy harbors all over the world. I was much more interested in private cruises with a smaller group of close friends, where I would be able to relax, enjoy the sites and get […]
Semifreddo all’amaretto (Smifreddo with Amaretti Biscuits), Panna Cotta with Basil and Lemon Cream, Chocolate Tortino and, of course, Tiramisu. Let’s start the article with dessert! It was a good thing that we biked 25-30 miles a day. The barge was a floating gourmet Italian restaurant and it was impossible to say no to the desserts! […]

An Extraordinary Photo and Cultural Tour of Odisha and Chattigarh We found ourselves in eastern India a month ago and I’m not sure why. Over the years we have traveled to some very remote locations and this sounded interesting. The roads in eastern India are fairly good and what you will encounter on them can […]
Lunch can be another high point of your ski day. With day lift ticket prices pushing $200, ski and snowboard areas have upped the quality of their high-country cuisine for food lovers. Forget burgers and hot dogs for lunch… Resorts now serve on-piste repasts such as Kobe-beef chili and grilled venison in elegant, sit-down settings. […]
Eighteen years had passed since I first rode my R100GS to the Bay of Pigs during a three-month-long, 7,000-mile exploration of Cuba as a professional journalist. Eighteen years spent dreaming of leading the first U.S. group motorcycle tours of the island. Finally… I was so stoked, I couldn’t suppress my glee any longer. “Yeeeeeeaaah!” I […]
