Oahu has a lot more to offer than just Waikiki Beach and the surrounding areas which is full of bustling hotels and stores.

If your goal is to visit the North Shore there are a lot of lovely little stops on the way. From...

5 years after my first visit to Mount Takao I returned to Japan eager to climb this beautiful mountain once again. There is something so remarkable about this place that I am having trouble putting it into words. I feel like it is something you can only experience for yourself. I often think I would like to live much closer to Mount Takao and visit frequently but maybe that would take some of the magic away. Mount Takao (高尾山...

The Rockefeller Center is a must-see destination for everyone - not just 30 Rock fans. (Unfortunately the NBC Studio Tour has been suspended for 2014). However, The Rockefeller Center has so much more to offer from shopping and dining to history and tours. I highly recommend visiting the Top of the Rock Observation Deck because its one experience you will never forget! The 360º views of NYC are absolutely breathtaking....

Have you ever experienced a road trip? Driving along with the windows down, the breeze flowing through the car and the sun warming your cheeks.

If you ever find yourself...
