Breaking Bad – Best Tour in Albuquerque
Holed up at home avoiding the Covid-19 virus, I have plenty of time to think about and write up some of the great places we visited in 2019 and early in 2020 before the lockdown. One of the most pleasant surprises was the city of Albuquerque and the many attractions to be found in the […]

El Salvador – Volcanos, Ruins & An Indigo Farm

There will be far fewer people around, the price may be cheaper and the weather is usually still cooperative. In high season in summer you might be baking in a place like New Mexico, while in the late […]

Managua And Leon Viejo- Nicaragua Now & Then
This is my fifth post on Nicaragua from Adventures Abroad’s just completed Central American odyssey designed and led by the company’s veteran tour guide Victor Romagnoli.

Ometepe – Lake Nicaragua’s Must Visit Destination
This is my fourth post on the country of Nicaragua which Alison and I are visiting as part of Victor Romagnoli’s Central America tour on behalf of Canadian travel company Adventures Abroad.
