Delicious New Vietnamese Restaurant I am a huge fan of Vietnamese food; it's probably my favorite cuisine. So, I was very excited to try the newest gig in town, "Pho Hai Binh". They're located on South 27th Street at Howard Av. The first positive experience for me was the fact that they have a website - I love that I don'...

Beware Splitting Charges at Samurai Back in June a group of 7 of us went for dinner at Samurai in Mequon. We've always liked this place for their Teppanyaki and had a good time. When the bill came, we asked if we could charge some different amounts to different cards and they said no problem. I signed my receipt for $53 and we left...

Air Travel with Furry Friends For many of us, pets are an integral part of our lives. I have 2 cats, and they (in theory) have more frequent flier miles than many people I know. Here’s a quick review with the ups, downs and learning curve of pet air travel. The first time the cats flew, was in 2004 when we moved ...

Culinary Delights of Barcelona I absolutely love Barcelona. I’ve had the fortune of visiting about 5 times, and it’s become a home away from home when in Europe. On one of my first visits, I took a total shot in the dark from internet searches, and signed up for a culinary tour of the old city, Barri Gotic. ...

Tales in Translation Although this blog isn’t about travel, per se, I had to post it as throughout my travels I’ve encountered some interesting misunderstandings in language. As a rule, I always try to learn at least a handful of words in the local language, however sometimes situations warrant mor...

Johannesburg's Beauty and Sadness I’m continuing my week of blogging for a few reasons; firstly having a contest to win a vacation is never a deterrent, and secondly, I feel like I’ve been to some interesting places, and this is a great venue in which to share those adventures. I have to say thanks to OMC for puttin... Posted by cybershaz at 8:06 a.m. | Talkbacks Category: Travel & Visitors Guide

A Romantic Weekend in the Windy City This past weekend marked my 8th wedding anniversary, and we thought long and hard how to celebrate. In the past we've always tried obvious romatic spots (Bermuda, Sundara Spa, etc.) however this year because of limited time to getaway, we opted for a trip to Chicago. A getaway to Chicago may be o... Posted by cybershaz at 4:03 p.m. | Talkbacks Category: Travel & Visitors Guide

Window into the Middle East I feel like I'm a somewhat seasoned traveller, however a glaringly missed destination from my list has been the Middle East. We hear lots of bad stories and stereotypes about this part of the world, so I thought I'd put it to the test. This past March my husband and I spent a week exploring the U...
