I’ve been reveling in the warmth of my recent trip to Costa Rica, and not just because of the heat and humidity.

crispy pata, Filipino food

What is Filipino food really? This was a question posed by a Filipino-American who grew up in New York as he traveled to his native Philippines with the late Anthony Bourdain in the latter's food and travel show No Reservations.

Ever since a month-long stint in the United Arab Emirates more than 20 years ago we’ve become enthusiastic devotees of Middle Eastern food. Several subsequent visits further reinforced that trend but we later realized we need not travel that far to enjoy falafels, kebabs and pita bread.

dolphin kissing writer at the Sea Aquarium, Curacao

Their bodies were sleek and graceful, the skin soft to the touch, their demeanor welcoming even if a bit skeptical. Still, they were more used to this more than I was. But I spread my arms out as instructed and flapped them in the water.

reenactment of the Battle of Queenston Heights

Niagara-on-the-Lake’s heritage and culture are amazingly rich for a place of its size. It is steeped in history and a refreshing change after visiting the carny atmosphere of Niagara Falls, 12 miles away. Niagara-on-the-Lake (NOTL) is a welcome breath of quiet and beauty nestled at the mouth of the mighty Niagara River where it flows into Lake Ontario.
