Vineyard Magic
The Vineyard has always been a very special place for me since I starting coming to this beautiful place, over 10 years ago. After a week in the Vineyard, I left there feeling inspired and motivated. Martha's Vineyard, and in particular Oak Bluffs, has always served as safe space for African Americans to get away from it all. But this trip was a little more magical and a little more special. It felt more like a family reunion where you meet family that you’ve never met before, but you knew you were connected to on some level. Oak Bluffs, MA is a historic African-American resort community that should be experienced by all, both young and old.

Hatrick's Orlando Holiday Guide
I decided to write Hatrick's Orlando Holiday Guide last year. It took me nearly a year to complete it, and it launched in April on iBooks, Kindle, and in hard copy (available on my website). It's 52 pages of essential and humorous info that, even if I say so myself, is a must-have for any Orlando visitor!

What Is the Religious Travel Industry?
While the reasons that people travel can be many, most people aren't going to think of religion as being even in the top five. However, religious tourism is actually in the top three, and is one of the sectors in which tourism has been growing each and every year. Most of this can be put down to the current ease of travel across the world, but some parts can actually be attributed to different ways of expressing and feeling your faith. In this article I'll go over a little bit of information, give a few basic examples, and explain why, for some, this tourism is becoming integral to their faith. If you have been thinking about taking part in religious tourism, I hope this article helps convince you to do so. If you live in an area that benefits from this type of tourism, I hope I can help you learn what the people taking part in it are looking for from your area.

The Seas of Israel
In thinking of the State of Israel, most people don’t consider The Seas of Israel. Israel conjures up images of arid lands, Bedouins, camels, and ancient ruins. Without a doubt, all of these are in Israel, but within the boundaries of Israel are the Sea of Galilee, the Dead Sea, and the Mediterranean. Each of these is unique unto itself both in topography and history. In addition, traveling between them offers some amazing sites as well. Its been my privilege to visit Israel over a dozen times, and each time visiting the seas is a major part of that visit.

The Truth About Traveling
a prologue of sorts The travel bug really sunk its teeth into me when I was a fresh-faced college graduate. I left the East Coast for the first time, and I took a month to venture across America with a couple of friends. When I got home, I immediately hit the internet to read travel blog after travel blog to figure out how to crack the code that would allow me to travel more often and further away from home.
