I’m bringing you another photo from my trip to Italy, this one of Saint Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican.
I’m in Tuscany now, and hope to share some additional photos from my week here at a farmhouse.

Rome has been wonderful so far, and I regret that my time here was so short. Everywhere you turn there is such a sense of history and wonder.
My first real impression of the city was coming up from the subway (Colosseo stop) and finding this in front of you. It literally took my breath away! Seeing it in books and photos cannot do justice to the sense of awe I felt at seeing this piece of the ...
The Manhattan skyline is one of the most recognizable in the world. Whether view from an airplane as you are flying in, from Central Park, the top of the Empire State Building, or from a downtown ferry, the New York architecture is some of the most photographed around.
This photo was taken while on a ferry ride out to see the Statue of Liberty.

It’s nice to see that hotels are giving thought to how to best use space that might otherwise be unused, giving guests additional way to enjoy the hotel and resort.
A recent stay at a beach resort property had this lovely feature — couches in the alcoves that overlooked the ocean. You could sit and have a drink and watch the sun go down. Sit there with a morning cup of coffee and plan your day. Or just meet ...
Ken, our blogger over at The Vancouver Traveler, has been doing some traveling in southeast Asia and has sent me a few photos from his journey. Ken has been doing lots of diving, and this photo is from one of his dives in the South China Sea off the coast of Cambodia.
This friendly looking guy is a cuttle fish that Ken ran into him in about six meters of water.

At sunrise this morning, in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, a furry little critter by the name of Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow.
Amid much hoopla and fanfare, this proclamation was read:
As I look around me, a bright sky I see, and a shadow beside me.
Six more weeks of winter it will be!
That’s right — six more weeks of winter. Thanks a lot, Phil! I’m ready for spring!

For a resort vacation, the pool and beach area is generally one of the most important considerations. An infinity pool, that extends out to a beautiful ocean beach, is a real treat.
If you have a resort stay coming up, I’d recommend calling the hotel directly to ask about the pool area. That’s the time to find out that the pool is closed for a major renovation, rather than have an unhappy surprise when you arrive.

Sometimes the best part of a vacation is just slowing down, taking a few minutes to sit and contemplate the meaning of life. . . enjoying the sun on your back and looking at the ocean.
This photo was taken on the island of Kauai, where I spent a fair amount of time doing just that.

When I went to see finalists and winners of the 2007 Nature’s Best Photography International Awards, I expected to see those lions and tigers and bears, but what was on display there was a whole lot more than that.
I saw the award winners of this competition last year, and since I’m a big fan of animals, whether live or captured on film, I was looking forward to seeing again this year. It’s always fun to see if the winners ...
Sometimes a quiet morning on the beach, shortly after sunrise, it the perfect way to start a vacation day.

They told us to remove our shoes. And we did. Then to remove our coats, jackets, and sweaters. And we did.
And then they told us no liquids. So we put all our large sized liquids in our checked bags, and gathered all our small liquids in a one-quart ziploc baggie.
Next it was our video equipment. So we removed all of our larger electronics and sent it through security along with our laptop.
But now, they’re talking to women about what ...
Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers here in the United States.
In honor of the day, I’ve spent some time thinking about the things for which I’m thankful. I hope you’ll give that some thought as well.

Day 7 of Geography Awareness week, and the only continent remaining is North America.
It was hard to choose a place that I want to showcase in North America, because it’s too close to home. There’s really no excuse for not visiting someplace that’s this accessible.
Instead, I thought I’d show you the view that I was looking at earlier this afternoon.
Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh, paradise!
