San Francisco: What to see along Highway 1?
If you're going to stop in Big Sur, have a drink and a snack (or a meal) at Nepenthe. A seat on the upper deck level is worth a wait if there is one. See More
Greece: Is it a good idea to go to Greece now?
Obvious assumptions with Greece in crisis: Greece is as beautiful as it ever was and prices are down, if you're willing to do essentially everything in cash and to carry lots of Euros. This ought to be an ideal time to go, especially if you feel solidarity with the... See More

Venice: In which country, city or state have you drank the best beer?
OK, this is a little off the point of your question. I assumed a lot of people would mention Czech Republic, Belgium, UK and the USA. But there are countries you don't think of right away that have thriving, under-the-radar beer cultures, and one is Italy. If you happen... See More
