We had been looking forward to this vacation for months. All our planning, working hard, and saving finally to be rewarded with a week of pure relaxation. We had chosen a winter date for this cruise in order to give us a break from the long dreary February days. Through our time together this was the first extended trip that we had taken, and we intended to...
Readers who follow world news may know that Thailand recently saw a military coup which ousted elected prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

In the morning, the she had turned her car radio on as she drove to the local newspaper office were she worked in hopes of some good news.

Anne felt so peaceful as she laid next to that stranger Bedouin under that big carob tree on their hike route. They were laying on a tattered carpet, which Salem, their tourist guide, brought last year in a hike with a Swedish group.

Taiohae, a small village located on Nuku Hiva, the largest island in the Marquises (a.k.a. Marquesas) islands, and the archipelago's capital, was the cruise ship's last port of call.
