Alpes-Maritimes ( Cote d'Azur ) < FRANCE 
The highlight of our visit, however, was the grand Musée Oceanographique. Jacques Cousteau played an important role gathering specimens for its aquariums, which are stocked with almost every species and colour imaginable.
Antibes -- about 12 kilometres east of Cannes -- is much more interesting than the city famous for its film festival. Picasso once called it home and you can see why. A string of ramparts surrounds the waterfront, with two huge towers at each end.
We also visited the love...

British Columbia < CANADA 
It's a summer afternoon along the rugged, rocky Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, just two hours north of Vancouver, and my friend Courtney and I have just cruised into a place called Secret Cove. In truth, it does feel like a secret.
As we paddle our sea kayaks from bay to bay and navigate around little islands and inlets, the closest we come to encountering other people is the occasional far-off sailboat sighting. A bald eagle swoops into the dense green trees to our left; to our righ...

"It Makes Total Financial & Lifestyle Sense" - TIC (tenants-in-common) Luxury Vacation Home Co-Ownership !
Unlike 'Timeshare', which is not much more than a long-term hotel reservation paid to a promoter who has marked up the property up to 300up-front; same goes for the ordinary 'fractional' vacation, shared by 3 to sometimes over 12 owners, having to utilize a calendar for scheduling by a "management company" - these multiple 'fractional sales are also usually marked-up 30 TO 50 up-front by...

Michigan < UNITED STATES
DETROIT -- One dollar can get you a large soda at McDonald's, a used VHS movie at 7-Eleven or a house in Detroit.
The fact that a home on the city's east side was listed for 1 recently shows how depressed the real estate market has become in one of America's poorest big cities.
And it still took 19 days to find a buyer.
The sale price of the home may be an anomaly, but illustrates both the depths of the foreclosure crisis in Detroit and the rapid scuttling of vacant homes in some of th...

Damascus < SYRIAN ARAB REPUBLIC 
At first mention of a vacation, the Middle East isn't usually the first spot that comes to mind. Yet the images of violence that flash across the nightly news are just an unfortunate subplot in the greater story of the region, which boasts some of the most pristine and, yes, tranquil attractions in the world.
Tranquil--for now, that is. The World Tourism Organization reports that 46 million foreign tourists visited the Middle East last year, making it one of the world's fastest-growing region...

Brussels < BELGIUM 
BRUSSELS, Belgium — The tumbling U.S. dollar is forcing a new experience on many Americans traveling through Europe: a stay in a youth hostel.
With prices as low as 31 in some of Europe's most expensive cities — and luxury options such as digital camera chargers for hire — hostels are shedding their image of bedbug-ridden dorm rooms and mildewed showers.
Annie Worth, a 21-year-old from Orinda, Calif., said she and her friends were used to staying in nice hotels with their parents on vacati...
