North & South America

Alaska

ALASKA!!! Six million square miles of vast wilderness, majestic mountain peaks that literally disappear into the cloud-filled sky, crystal-blue rivers of glacial ice, streams that run red when the salmon spawn, quaint towns that haven’t changed much since the Gold Rush, and spectacular and untamed wildlife such as whales, moose, bears, sea lions, sea otters, puffins, and eagles which seem as numerous as the Carolina wrens in the American South.

Blackberry Farm: Walland, TN

Blackberry Farm is located in the mountains of Tennessee and is the ultimate relaxation vacation. It's a bit hard to describe as it is unlike anywhere else I have traveled. It is part elegance, part farm, part mountains, part luxury, part cabin, part lake, and part comfort - but don't let me mislead you. Everything, and I mean everything, is 5-star all the way. From cabin names that are aligned with nature to a fully stocked cabinet of gourmet treats to mini flat screens in the bathroom to farm-raised eggs for breakfast -- every last inch of detail is perfect.

Peru

Peru is a kaleidoscope of faces, experiences, and adventures. From the Amazon, to Machu Picchu, to Cusco, to Colca Canyon, the scenes change dramatically, as does your interaction with the environment and your physical involvement with the changing scenes around you. Regardless of whether you are actively pursuing an upward trail, scaling a ruin, watching the rainbow of color from the beautiful hats and costumes, or just sitting still absorbing the nature around you, Peru never fails to enchant.
