I had been to Miami years before, I hadn’t liked it too much and I had no desire to return. In fact, I have a long list of destinations to go to before repeating Miami; but the nephews dominate me. They are restless and move around the United States and I, as I have always promised them, I am going to see them where they are. This was the reason for the second...
Morrocoy is, without a doubt, one of my favorite places of Venezuela. It is a very complete destination and perhaps not known by Europeans. The well-deserved recognition of Los Roques worldwide has eclipsed this paradise and I am glad. I was at the inn “El Paraíso Azul” and on amazing beaches like Playuela and Playuelita practically alone. What I liked...
My “wish list” of destinations to visit is huge and Knoxville just isn’t there. Neither had it located on the map, nor was there anything in the area that caught my attention. But I had a personal event and I decided to spend three days there. I flew, with a small American company, from Newark International Airport (New Jersey) to McGhee Tyson...
It is the restaurant of the “Instituto Culinario de Caracas“. It was founded in 2003 and, since then, it has been the culinary training center with a comprehensive vision. Its philosophy is based on discipline, technical knowledge and understanding gastronomy as a multidisciplinary activity. It works within the headquarters, but it is an independent...
After spending a few days in Ciudad de Guatemala and in wonderful Antigua, I caught a local flight at La Aurora International Airport (in Ciudad de Guatemala) to Mundo Maya International Airport (in Isla de Flores). The flight is very short. I left at 6:30 in the morning and arrived at my destination at 07:30. I hired everything (flight, guide and hotel) at Tag...
If I’m honest, I shouldn’t name this post “New Jersey.” New Jersey is a huge US state and I was only in Newark, Bayonne and Weehawken; the eastern part, which is the area closest to New York. Newark: The star visit of Newark is, without a doubt, the New Hope Baptist Church. It is the church where Whitney Houston began to sing and where her...
New York is huge. I try to know every corner of this city, but I can’t. I have been there 3 times. The first two were by pass and I was very few days. I saw the typical things that makes me an idea of the city. The third and last one was the objective of the trip and things changed. I spent there almost two weeks. I organized the visits in four areas:...
Aruba is very beautiful if you spend time discovering the interesting part of the island. The other part is like a big candy cake. Really. The authentic part is virgin and special; while the other is full of “all inclusive” macro hotels and pink casinos. I spent first nights in the boutique hotel “Boardwalk“. It is the antithesis of what Aruba...
I had a special desire with Guatemala. My mother and my grandparents had always spoken to me very well. They are my references in travel issues. We have similar tastes and they recommended me this country with such emphasis, I was aroused by an important curiosity. I had the fortune to visit it with a Guatemalan family who welcomed and took care of me. I lived in...
I have said on many occasions that Morrocoy was a discovery for me. There are destinations in Venezuela, such as Los Roques, which are world famous. Everyone knows it even they have not been there; but who knows Morrocoy? I already wrote it in the post of Playa Mero: I think that Venezuelans do not speak too much because they do not want to make...
Those of you who know me have always heard me say that I never go back to a place that I have already visited. Leaving aside the European cities (which I have been there several times like Naples, Lisbon or Porto); when I talk about far away and expensive destination, even though I loved them, I always say that I will not go back. There are too many beautiful places...
No one had ever told me about Horseshoe. In fact, I discovered it by chance while looking at Google Maps while planning a visit to Antelope Canyon and this area of the United States. And luckily, because I wouldn’t have excuse me for leaving Arizona without seeing it! Antelope and Horseshoe are very close. It can be used to visit both things in the same getaway...
