Tulum is not the kind of place that even the most wandering GypsyNesting-type will stumble upon by accident. It’s not on the way to anywhere. But since we found ourselves on the Caribbean coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, what’s known as the Riviera Maya, we hopped on a bus to the ancient Mayan site. We wanted to enjoy both a … CONTINUE READING >>

Gawking up at the stonework that covers the entire side of a mountain in The Sacred Valley, we were truly in awe.
No one knows how the stones were cut, because a metal hard enough to cut granite was not available at the time of its construction and an explanation of how the rocks were moved up the mountain has never been… CONTINUE READING >>

The Sacred Valley was formed by the Urubamba River and has a wealth of both natural and agricultural resources.
This, and the proximity to the Inca capital of Cusco, made the region the heart of The Inca Empire and the path to Machu Picchu.
Discover the best of The Sacred Valley with us – as we get photobombed by llamas, visit a weaving cooperative, walk the mysterious Ollantaytambo ruins, drink stuff we’d never dreamed we’d drink and, of course, David the Train Nut grins through an amazing rail adventure… CONTINUE READING >>

Just below, as in south of, the famous Carolina Lowcountry lies a lesser known region, Coastal Georgia.
Geographically, culturally, and historically this area is virtually indistinguishable from its northern neighbor, it’s simply the Savannah River that separates them.
Join us as we survey the swamps, seafood, and even a sea serpent along the Atlantic shoreline….CONTINUE READING >>

We even went as far as traveling to the ancient and mysterious ruins at Tulum in Mexico to ask a REAL Mayan (with a great sense of humor!) what the official scoop is. Here’s what we found:
