Whether you have a week or a couple of days, there are few things that you definetely cannot miss if you’re around. And this is my top 5 selection of attractions you can find In the “Pool” “
Boyd Lemon is the author of “Eat, Write, Walk: An American Senior’s Year of Adventure in Paris and Tuscany.” Today he presents Boomers, Seniors, Everyone: You Can Still Enjoy Mexico posted at Boomers and Seniors Travel Blog, saying,
“For many years I have loved visiting and traveling in Mexico. Sadly, some of the places I have visited are now unsafe, and generally driving through much of Mexico is risky. The good news is that there are parts of Mexico that are as safe as Kansas: the west coast, the Yucatan Peninsula and most of Baja California, for example.”
Mary Jo Manzanares presents Throwing Three Coins in Rome’s Trevi Fountain posted at Traveling with MJ, saying,
“It’s busy and touristy and noisy, but I still recommend stopping by Trevi Fountain when you’re in Rome.”
Theresa Torres presents 6 Lesser Known Islands to Put at the Top of Your Travel List posted at Slices of Life!, saying,

“Looking for romance? These charming venues are guaranteed to please.”
Laura Edgar presents Honest Airfare is Coming One Disclosure at a Time posted at NerdWallet | Travel, saying,
“Airfare is rarely what it seems. As any flyer knows, the cost of a flight entails far more than ticket price. Fuel surcharges, 9/11 fees, taxes, payment processing charges, baggage fees, ticket change fees, booking fees, seat selection fees, security fees, paper ticket fees—all require extensive knowledge and unrealistic foresight on the part of passengers. New legislation is working to untangle the costly, convoluted clutter of half-hidden charges, demanding fair and upfront disclosure of baggage fees. The new regulations are a small but satisfying victory for travelers, a vital step toward coherent airfare.”
AbundantJourneys presents Valentine?s Day Food and Recipes posted at Life Is Full of Bloom, saying,
“Need some delicious Valentine’s Day recipes to celebrate the romantic holiday? Abundant Journeys has searched around to find some options for you if you are cooking dinner at home.”
Miles presents Harbourfront Restaurant Review. posted at Bermuda Blog, saying,
“Harbourfront is a local Bermuda Restaurant located inside of the BUEI (Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute) and right on the harbour’s front. It is mainly a Japanese style restaurant with many seafood dishes including a large selection of sushi. If you are not a seafood fan, don’t worry, Harbourfront covers you too.”
Sue Waters presents 10 Best Travel Writing Books of All Time posted at Car Insurance Blog News, Tips, and Quotes, saying,
“The transforming power of a journey is a literary theme dating back to when the first humans gathered around the fire to share their stories.”
