The earth is often referred to as the “Globe.” Globes are spherical or rounded objects, celestial bodies, or the heavens. For travelers, glove means earth, and global travel means traveling the world!
Traveling the world means exploring the earth, the universe, and the planet.

What in the world are the amphicars at Disney Springs? If you’ve visited Disney Springs recently and been to the Boat House, you’ve likely seen the amphicars – the cars driving on the lake. Yes, automobiles that operate on water. Or a car that becomes a boat once on the water. Often referred to as…

Located in Polk County, referred to as the “City of Oaks and Azaleas,” Bartow, Florida, is unheard of by most. Like many small towns, the first appearance is the same: the classical main street, a four-way stop, the local courthouse, and the silence of empty storefronts. As you arrive on a Saturday, finding parking on…
Like most Americans, I work full time, and paid time off work is of a premium here in the States. Everyone always asks how I manage to cram in as much travel as we do. Before I tell you how we do, let me be transparent about my paid time off. I have been with…

Since I saw the photos of Hotel Del Salto at Tequendama Falls, I have wanted to visit this allegedly haunted hotel. Colombia was already on the list for 2019, and I chose Bogota explicitly to see this once a hotel, now a museum. Besides the obvious reasons, like being directly opposite a huge waterfall, the…

Believe it or not, Florida is home to a winery or two! California moves over; you got nothing on us! My personal favorite is Lakeridge Winery, located in Clermont. It’s my favorite because the grapes are grown here, the existing vineyard is here, and you can tour the vineyard and sample the products. This post…
