Most Beautiful Airport in Nepal: Lukla
In the remote reaches of the Solukhumbu district in Nepal, high amidst the majestic Himalayan mountains, there exists a tiny but remarkable airport that plays a pivotal role in the lives of both locals and adventurous travelers. Lukla Airport, also known as Tenzing-Hillary Airport, stands as a testament to human tenacity and engineering ingenuity. This small airstrip, perched perilously on the side of a steep mountain, has earned itself a reputation as one of the most dangerous airports in the world due to its challenging location and unpredictable weather conditions. Yet, despite the risks, Lukla Airport remains the primary gateway for those embarking on journeys to explore the world's highest peaks, including the legendary Mount Everest.

Honest Thoughts on Norwegian Cruise Lines
We all have nightmare travel stories, and usually, we think back on them after a while and reflect with a good laugh and shudder at the thought of the past trauma. I want to look back from a few years ago about a trip I took and hope to share some insights about what to do and what not to do when booking a cruise vacation for you or your family and maybe you can avoid some of the disastrous headaches that would have you feeling as if you never went on a vacation at all. I have traveled extensively throughout my life and typically planned everything myself. I thought that perhaps it would be a nice change if someone else did most of the planning for a change, and I left most of it up to someone else, and all I would have to do was show up.

Irrigon, Oregon isn't the Oregon you know.
Irrigon, Oregon isn't the Oregon you know. There aren't waterfalls, a rocky coastline, or lush green forests. In Irrigon, there is corn, sand, and the murky waters of the Columbia. Water that understands it's best to travel West, away from this place and to the Ocean. I've grown certain that this part of the Oregon Trail is where people died of dysentery or maybe exhaustion gazing upon the miles of desert-like landscape and tumbleweed highways. A town so small that your mayor and bartender are one and the same. Residents drunkenly spill their beer and sorrows onto the bartop for one woman to clean.
