As bars and clubs typically remain open until 4 AM, the siesta is important especially with the younger crowd. Malaga’s currency is the Euro, cars travel on the right-hand side and the drinking age is 18 years old. Malaga accommodations are some of Southern Spain’s best. Before we get to Malaga accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Around 700 BC, Phoenicians from Tyre founded a colony named Malake near present-day Malaga. The ancient colony became an important waypoint between Phoenicia and the Strait of Gibraltar. Sometime around the 6th century, Malake came under Carthaginian rule. Early Malaga was positioned between Gibralfaro Hill and the mouth of the Malaca flumen, or Guadalmedina River. The Roman Republic took control of the town, known to them as Malaca, following the Punic Wars. 1st century BC Greek geographer Strabo noted Malaca’s Phoenician characteristics, which contrasted the more Hellenistic, neighboring settlement of Mainake. Discovered in the 20th century near Malaca, the Lex Malacitana bronze tablet depicts, in Latin, the Roman-era Flavian municipal law. The Lex Malacitana, presently on display at Madrid’s National Archaeological Museum, provides new insights into the area’s municipal court system. During their time in Malaca, the Romans built a theater. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the area was ruled first by the Visigoths, and then by the Byzantine Empire circa 552 AD. The town was rooted in fishing and maritime trade, which the Byzantines revived by restoring and expanding the docks. In 615, Visigoth King Sisebut retook the town from the Byzantines. About 100 years later, Arab and Berber forces took control of Málaga, which was known to them as Mālaqah. Málaga became a capital city in 930, replacing Archidona. Persian historian Aḥmad al-Rāzī noted the area’s vineyards and high-quality raisins in the early-10th century. The Hammudids, following the collapse of the Umayyad dynasty, established the Taifa of Málaga kingdom in the 11th century. Shortly thereafter, control of the city changed hands amongst the Algerian Granadan Zirids, the Sevillian Abbadids and the North African Almoravids. Malaga became a part of the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada in the 13th century. Maghrebi explorer Ibn Battuta noted the town’s beauty, along with its abundance of foodstuffs, fruits and gilded pottery, while passing through in 1325. Málaga was the main port of the Emirate of Granada Nasrid dynasty in the 15th century. Around this time, Genoese merchants maintained a large presence at the port, which served as an important stopover for both Atlantic and regional trade ships. Christian forces seized Malaga on August 18, 1487 after a 3-month 11 days siege on the city, which was part of the Granada War. Muslim war captives were sold into slavery and the Jewish population was held for ransom. Merchant Alí Dordux, along with 50 others, were the only people allowed to remain in the city. The remaining Muslims converted to Catholic Christianity and the city was quickly inhabited by Christian settlers from various Iberian Peninsula locales. Under the Crown of Castile, the city endured a series of typhus fever outbreaks. Fourteen years after a revolt against the Admiral of Castile following Ferdinand II’s death, Malaga freed itself from Admiralty control on December 2, 1530. At that time, prior privileges granted by the Catholic Monarchs were restored. By 1625, the city’s population reached approximately 36,000. The (first) August 24, 1704 Battle of Málaga between an Anglo-Dutch fleet and a Franco-Spanish naval force, the War of the Spanish Succession’s largest naval battle, proved largely inconclusive, albeit with the Franco-Spanish side suffering just over twice the casualties at 1,500 killed. The 19th century saw both industrialization and a steady increase in population, along with economic turmoil by way of the grape phylloxera (grapevine insect pests). The Second Republic retained control of Malaga following the Spanish coup of July 1936, with the Republican navy based at the city’s harbor at the onset of the Spanish Civil War. Shortly thereafter, nationalist-sided Italian warships began bombarding the harbor. The second historical Battle of Malaga (February 3-8, 1937) between the Spanish Republic and Nationalist Spain (supported by Fascist Italian Corps of Volunteer Troops and Nazi Germany) resulted in a Nationalist, Francisco Franco victory. Following World War II, Franco continued to rule Spain until his death in late-1975. Three years later, Spain became a constitutional monarchy.

Home to nearly 600,000 “Malagueños”, Malaga is the Province of Malaga’s capital and an Andalusian autonomous community. In terms of economic activity, Malaga ranks as a top-four Spanish city behind Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia. Major business sectors are tourism, technology and construction. Andalusia’s largest bank, Unicaja is based in the city. Malaga welcomes around 6 million visitors annually. Spain’s oldest airport still in operation, Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport handles nearly 13 million passengers annually. Of the city’s 27 high-rise buildings, 2 of the tallest are AQ Urban Sky (365 feet) and Malaga Cathedral north tower (305 feet), while Torre del Puerto de Málaga (473 feet) is a planned luxury hotel skyscraper. The city’s dominant religion is Roman Catholicism. Home to a subtropical-Mediterranean climate, Malaga experiences mild, relatively rainy winters and hot, dry summers, along with about 300 days of sunshine per year. August summer highs average around 87 °F, while January winters stay around 62 °F. Additional points of interest are Anglican Cemetery of St. George (mainland Spain’s oldest non-Roman Catholic Christian cemetery), Palacio de los Condes de Buenavista (16th-century historical edifice) and University of Málaga (UMA). Local foods include paella (Spanish rice dish), fritura Malagueña (fried fish), espeto (skewered meat), boquerones (anchovies), patatas alioli (potatoes), porra antequerana (tomato soup), gazpachuelo Malagueño (soup with egg whites), ensalada malagueña (vegan salad), almendras fritas (fried almonds) and churros. Popular drinks are sangria, wine and coffee. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Malaga accommodations that will help make for a memorable experience.

In 2012, Colorado legalized marijuana. Keep in mind that smoking cannabis in public places is prohibited, and that the maximum purchase weight is one ounce. Somewhat like jetlag, elevation sickness is known to affect certain visitors. For some, adjusting to Denver’s elevation can take between 1 and 3 days, give or take. Denver accommodations are some of the Western United States’ best. Before we get to Denver accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Prior to the 1858 Pike’s Peak gold rush, the Denver-area was inhabited by several Native American tribes to include Apaches, Arapahoes, Cheyennes, Comanches and Utes. The 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie, also known as the Horse Creek Treaty, between the United States and a handful of Tribal Nations’ chiefs stipulated, at least on the face of it, the ceasing of inter-tribal fighting, safe passage for white migrants / railroad surveyors through native lands and the allowing of the US government to build roads and army posts. If the terms were broken, the tribe would pay compensation to the US government. If the terms were abided, the US government would offer protection to Plain Indians along with a $50,000 annuity. Although the treaty was signed on September 17, 1851, it was never actually ratified. After a gold prospecting boom in the area, an influx of white miners and settlers established towns and farms, while improving roadways. The Treaty of Fort Laramie was never enforced. In 1858, the mining town of Montana City was established by Lawrence, Kansas gold prospectors on the banks of the South Platte River. This site would eventually develop into modern Denver, though the initial Montana City site was abandoned in favor of Auraria and St. Charles City. Kansas Territory land speculators General William Larimer and Captain Jonathan Cox staked a claim on a South Platte River and Cherry Creek bluff on November 22, 1858. Larimer named the site Denver City after Kansas Territorial Governor James W. Denver. Larimer and his St. Charles City Land Company associates sold town parcels to merchants and miners in hopes that the site would develop into a major city. Goods trading, livestock, saloons and gambling helped sustain the early frontier town of Denver City. Land parcels were traded,  and even gambled away, to Auraria miners. The region’s first overland wagon route was secured in May 1859, when Denver City residents donated 53 lots to the Leavenworth & Pike’s Peak Express. In 1863, Western Union chose the town for its regional terminus. The February 18, 1861 Treaty of Fort Wise ceded more than 90 percent of Southern Cheyenne Indian Territory to the United States. On February 28, 1861, the Colorado Territory was created. Following Arapahoe County’s formation on November 1, 1861, Denver City was incorporated 6 days later. Denver City became the territorial capital in 1867 (shortening its name to Denver), and the permanent state capital in 1881. The 1864 Sand Creek massacre occurred during the Colorado War (1863-1865), which resulted in the Medicine Lodge Treaty and the relocation of the Cheyenne and Arapaho peoples. The Denver-Pacific Railway, designed to connect Denver to the transcontinental railroad, was completed on June 24, 1870. The railway helped immensely. Millionaires such as Horace Tabor built mansions. Tabor built a business block at 16th and Larimer along with the Tabor Grand Opera House. Luxury hotels such as the Brown Palace Hotel (present-day – The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa, Autograph Collection) began accommodating guests. In the late-19th century, however, corruption plagued the city through crime bosses such as Jefferson Randolph “Soapy” Smith II and Louis Herbert Belonger “Lou Blonger“, who, alongside elected officials and police, controlled elections and gambling. Around this time a depression also occurred by way of a silver crash. The city overcame these adversities, however, during a period referred to as the “The Carnation Gold Rush” (1880s-1930s). Bears Stadium, which would later become Mile High Stadium, was originally built for minor league baseball in 1948. A major fire broke out at Rocky Flats Plant (nuclear weapon facility – 15 miles from Denver) in 1957, resulting in radioactive contamination in parts of Denver. Founded on August 14, 1959, the Denver Broncos won their first American Football League (AFL) game against the Boston Patriots (13-10) on September 9, 1960. Denver was selected to host the 1976 Winter Olympics, but voters struck down the games due to high cost of public funding, and they were moved to Innsbruck, Austria instead.

Colorado’s capital, Denver is home to around 715,000 “Denverites”. The city’s skyline is complimented by the distant Rocky Mountains. Rocky Mountain National Park is about an hour and a half drive westward. Denver has over 340 high-rise buildings, the tallest being Republic Plaza at 717 feet. Colorado was one of the first USA states to legalize marijuana, which quickly became a billion dollar industry. Mile High City welcomes around 37 million visitors annually. Home to a semi-arid continental climate, Denver experiences warm / hot summers and mild / cold winters. On average, the city receives over 53 inches of snowfall per year, along with about 300 days of sunshine. Summer high temperatures average around 89 °F, while winters average around 46 °F. Additional points of interest include Downtown, Millennium Bridge, Union Station, Colorado State Capitol, Denver Pavilions, 16th Street Mall, Denver Performing Arts Complex, Cheesman Park (lake, walking paths) and University of Denver. Local foods include barbecued meats, steak, cheeseburgers, burritos, tacos and green chili cheese fries. Popular drinks are lager & craft beer, whiskey, signature cocktails and wine. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Denver accommodations that will help make for an outstanding trip.

Munich Accommodations

Munich accommodations

Munich accommodations

Munich accommodations invite you to a destination nicknamed “Village of a Million People”.

Munich known for: Oktoberfest, lederhosen (leather trousers), dirndl (feminine dress), breweries, beer gardens, Bavarian restaurants, palaces, museums, parks, event venues, shopping malls, football

Also spelled München, Munich is located in southeastern Germany, about 90 miles northwest of the Austrian city Salzburg. Flowing through central Munich, the Isar River is sourced by the Bavarian Alps’ Karwendel mountain range. Central Munich is also home to medieval Old Town, the city’s oldest area (flagship stores, boutiques, Bavarian costumes, Marienplatz Square crowds, neo-Gothic architecture, beer gardens).

Oktoberfest

The world’s largest Volksfest. or “peoples’ festival”, Munich’s Oktoberfest draws about 6 million people annually.

Oktoberfest dates: mid / late September – first Sunday in October

Oktoberfest location (central-west side): Theresienwiese Square near the Deutsches Museum Verkehrszentrum & Bavaria Statue

Typical Oktoberfest beer prices: €12.50 –  €15

Oktoberfest beers are usually sold in a large, 1-liter (not pint!) glass known as a Maß (pronounced mahs). Wine is also available and is most commonly served in a half-liter glass known as a Halben Liter.

If you plan on attending Oktoberfest, of course you’ll want to try and book accommodations well in advance. Keep in mind that there is no need to buy tickets for Oktoberfest, though you should arrive early and bring enough cash. Tips are greatly appreciated.

Munich main Christmas Market location: Marienplatz

Winners of 33 national and 6 Champions League titles, FC Bayern Munich plays at Allianz Arena on the city’s far northeasterly side.

Legalized in 2010, river surfing at the man-made Eisbach wave (Englischer Garten /  English Garden – southern edge) is permitted only for experienced surfers. Generally great people, Bavarians tend to be reserved. Although many Bavarians speak English, especially the younger crowd, learning at least some German is of course helpful. “Prost!” (cheers!) and “Wiesn” (Oktoberfest) are good places to start for the Oktoberfest-seeker. Keep in mind that Munich largely shuts down on Sundays, except for church services. Munich’s currency is the Euro, cars travel on the right-hand side and the drinking age is 16 years old for beer and 18 for liquor. Munich accommodations are some of Germany’s best. Before we get to Munich accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

In reference to 8th-century Benedictine-order monks, who once ran a monastery in Munich’s Old Town area, the name “Munich” derives from the Middle-High German term meaning, “to the monks”. A prehistoric trade route, the river Isar allowed Munich to develop into one of Bronze-Age-Europe’s largest raft ports, with excavated Munich settlements dating back four millennia. In Munich’s southeast Ramersdorf-Perlach (borough) Iron Age Celtic settlements have been discovered. Connecting the Bavarian town of Augsburg with Salzburg, the ancient Roman road Via Julia passed just south of Munich, through the towns of Baierbrunn and Gauting. Also excavated, a Roman settlement appears to have existed in the northeast Denning neighborhood. After the Roman era, the Munich area was populated by Baiuvarii, or Bavarians, with the first Christian church being built in Fröttmanning circa 815 AD. In order to control the salt trade, The Duke of Saxony and Bavaria’s Henry the Lion are considered as possible founders of Munich around the mid-12th century. Shards of 11th-century vessels, however, found in 2012 at Marienhof Square near Marienplatz may point to an earlier founding date than the officially recognized date, June 14, 1158. St. Peter’s Church, therefore, may have been built earlier as well. Regardless of Munich’s exact founding date is that upstream, near modern Old Town, Henry the Lion built a new toll bridge, a customs house and a coin market. Cistercian-German churchman Otto of Freising, in protest of the new toll bridge and through his connections with the Holy Roman Empire, eventually was awarded a third of the toll bridge’s income. Munich received city status and fortifications in 1175. Subsequently, through a falling-out with Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarosa (Otto of Freising’s uncle), Henry the Lion was exiled in 1180. Not surprisingly, Munich was given to the Bishop of Freising following Henry’s exile. Red-headed Otto I Wittelsbach, marking the beginning of an 800-year House of Wittelsbach Bavarian dynasty, became Duke of Bavaria in 1156. A native of Munich, Duke Louis IV was elected German king in 1314, and Holy Roman Emperor in 1328. Louis IV granted Munich a salt monopoly, which naturally contributed to the city’s growth. About a third of Munich was destroyed by fire on February 13, 1327, and in 1349 the Black Death further ravaged the town, along with Bavaria as a whole. In 1385, the first buildings of the Munich Residenz, or royal palace, were erected. Gothic arts revived Munich during the 15th century, a period when Old Town expanded and the modern Frauenkirche Gothic church was built in just 20 years. In 1506, following the Landshut War of Succession between Bavaria-Munich and Bavaria-Landshut / County Palatine of the Rhine, through which Bavaria-Munich arose victorious, Munich became the sole capital of Bavaria. A House of Wittelsbach Renaissance movement saw to the Antiquarium’s (collection of Greek / Roman antiquities) installment in the Munich Residenz along with a court orchestra, which promoted the city’s brief nickname, “German Rome”. Munich’s Hofbräuhaus, established solely for the purpose of supplying beer to the Bavarian court, was built for brewing brown beer on September 27, 1589 by Bavarian Duke Wilhelm the 5th. The Catholic League was founded in the city circa 1609. Around the Thirty Years’ War’s(1618–1648) midpoint, Munich was occupied briefly by Gustav II Adolph of Sweden. Bubonic plague struck again in 1634, killing a third of the city’s population. Throughout the 18th century, the House of Wittelsbach continued to hold power. Munich became an important center of Baroque life. German nobleman Charles Theodore, or Karl Theodor, of the House of Wittelsbach’s Suizbach branch, inherited Bavarian lands in 1777. Around the time of the American Revolution, Theodore invited Colonial Massachusetts-born, British physicist, inventor and lieutenant-colonel of the King’s American Dragoons (British provincial military unit – raised for Loyalist service) Count Rumford Benjamin Thompson to Munich in order to implement “social reforms”. Additionally, the Bavarian army, established in 1682, was to be restructured. Karl Theodor and Count Rumford demolished the city’s fortifications. As a result of their being forced to live in newly built workhouses, Munich’s residents, across multiple trades, decided to build a new community outside the city walls in 1793. Through an alliance with Napoleonic France, the Kingdom of Bavaria was formed in 1806, with Munich remaining its capital. Maximilian I Joseph (House of Wittelsbach – Palatinate-Birkenfield-Zweibrücken branch) became the Kingdom’s first king. Maximillian’s goals were to secularize Bavaria by dissolving all monasteries in 1802 and by generating state revenues from sold-off church lands, and to control beer-brewing rights by handing the brewing monopoly to Munich’s wealthiest brewers, who in turn paid considerable taxes on their beer production. In October 1810, the first beer festival, which would evolve into today’s Oktoberfest, was held to commemorate the crown price (Ludwig I) and princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen‘s royal wedding. Beer became so important to Munich that it was even considered a staple food. Beginning in 1826, the city’s finest buildings would be constructed by the Bavarian kings Ludwig I, Ludwig II and Otto (never actively ruled – supposed mental illness). On June 10th, 1865, Richard Wagner’s tragic opera Tristan und Isolde premiered in Munich. About 75 miles east of Munich, in the Austrian town of Braunau am Inn, eventual German Führer Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889. German mechanical engineer, physicist and professor of Physics at the University of Munich, Wilhelm Röntgen, for his production and detection of electromagnetic radiation in a wavelength range (X-rays), was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics circa 1901. By the early 20th century, Munich had become a major center for the Jugendstil artistic movement, which combined liberal magazine culture with progressive industrial design and architecture. Also in the early-20th century, southern Germany was home to beer halls, where hundreds-to-thousands of people would come in the evenings to socialize, engage in political debates and even host political rallies. Following World War I, it was widely believed in Germany that the Imperial German Army did not, in fact, lose on the battlefield, but rather was betrayed, or “stabbed in the back”, on the home-front by certain citizens, particularly Jews, socialists and politicians who had overthrown the House of Hohenzollern. Adolf Hitler, who had fought in the German Army during the First World War, and who was a post-war agent of the Bavarian Army’s Intelligence Division, was ordered to infiltrate the German Workers’ Party (DAP), which Hitler, in turn, joined on September 12, 1919. Agreeing with many of the DAP’s underlying tenants, Hitler rose to its top-post during Munich’s post-war political chaos. Inspired by Benito Mussolini’s successful March on Rome, Hitler, along with a league of nationalist fighting societies known as the Kampfbund, began planning (October 22-29, 1922) a similar march against the Weimar Republic in Berlin, with Munich as his home-base. Roughly a year later, commencing in totalitarian-fashion during a  period of terror and political violence in Munich, a ruling triumvirate (conservative monarchist politician and jurist Gustav Ritter von Kahr, state police chief Colonel Hans Ritter von Seisser and Reichswehr General Otto von Lossow) banned Hitler from holding 14 planned mass meetings in September 1923. Realizing that Kahr would stand in the way against his march against the Weimer Republic, Hitler undertook one of the most significant events in Munich’s more recent history, the Beer Hall Putsch. On November 8, 1923, Hitler, along with the Sturmabteilung (original Nazi Party paramilitary), marched on the Bürgerbräukeller beer hall where Kahr was making a speech in front of 3,000 people, surrounded the hall, and set up a machine gun in the auditorium. Now inside the beer hall with his associates, and unable to be heard above the crowd, Hitler fired a shot into the ceiling, jumped on a chair and yelled “The national revolution has broken out! The hall is surrounded by six hundred men. Nobody is allowed to leave.” Hitler’s putsch was not immediately successful and proved fatal, as 15 Kampfbund and 4 Weimar Republic belligerents were killed. Arrested shortly thereafter, Hitler was sent to trial. Pro-Nazi, the lay judges actually may have acquitted Hitler, had it not been for presiding Judge Georg Neithardt’s influence, and Hitler was sentenced to five years in Festungshaft (fortress confinement) for treason. During his confinement at Landsberg Prison, Hitler wrote the first volume of his autobiographical manifesto Mein Kampf, within which Chapter IV is titled “Munich”. In Chapter IV, Hitler starts with “One must know Munich if one would know Germany”. Hitler was released from Festungshaft after only eight months for good behavior. In retrospect, although unsuccessful, Hitler’s beer hall putsch was not only a defining moment for Munich, but also for the trajectory of the world, as it gave Hitler and the Nazis their first national attention, as well as a propaganda victory. Post-1933 Munich became an important city for the Nazi Party, as its headquarters was based at the Brown House between the Karolinenplatz and Königsplatz. Dachau, the first concentration camp, was built roughly 10 miles northwest of Munich. During World War II, Munich was bombed heavily. In 1945, after the war, a United States occupation of Munich saw to a meticulous rebuilding plan, whereby the city’s pre-war street grid would be preserved. Munich hosted the 1972 Summer Olympics, along with six 2006 FIFA Word Cup matches at Allianz Arena.

Bavaria’s capital and most populous city, Munich is home to around 1.5 million “Münchners” (male) and “Münchnerins” (female) altogether. Munich’s colors are black and yellow, while Bavaria’s are blue and white. Munich is Germany’s third-largest city behind Berlin and Hamburg. A high standard of living is expected in Village of a Million People, though its real estate prices and rental costs are some of Germany’s highest. About 30% of Munich’s residents are foreigners. BMW is based in Munich. Historically influential and at times volatile, Munich’s city council today consists of 13 different political groups. Munich’s Landtag of Bavaria (Bavarian State Parliament) assembles at the Maximilianeum (palatial building). Situated on Upper Bavaria’s elevated plains, Munich is surrounded by a number of varying natural habitats to include rivers, plateaus, foothills, flint areas, moraines, glacial out-washes and marshes. Beyond the skyline, the distant, snow-capped Bavarian Alps can be observed from certain higher points within the city. Munich experiences warm / hot summers and cold winters. July high temperatures average around 76 ℉, while January winters are around 38 ℉. During Oktoberfest, daytime highs average a pleasant 60 degrees. October is usually Germany’s driest month. In winter, snow and frost are not uncommon, though snow cover is typically brief. Additional points of interest include Neues Rathaus (New Town Hall), Heilig-Geist-Kirche (Holy Ghost Church), Feldherrnhalle (monumental loggia – site of the Beer Hall Putsch battle), Bavarian National Museum (decorative arts museum), National Theatre (historic opera house), The Glyptothek (sculpture museum), Olympiaturm (The Olympic Tower), Olympiapark (Olympic Park – site of 1972 Summer Olympics), BMW Welt (exhibition / event venue / museum), Old Town Hall (Gothic city council building), Ludwigstraße (royal avenue), Rindermarkt (old street – originally a cattle marketplace), Mariensäule (Marian column – Marienplatz), Ruffinihaus (three-sided house), Augustiner Brewery and Bahnwärter Thiel (cultural center). Local foods include schnitzel, bratwurst, weißwürste (white veal sausage), hendl (roast chicken), steckerlfisch (grilled fish on a stick),  haxen (braised pork knuckle), leberkäse (loaf-formed sausage),  allgäuer käsespätzle (Bavarian mac & cheese), obazda (Bavarian cheese spread), kartoffelsalat (German potato salad), kartoffelsuppe (German potato soup), leberknödelsuppe (Liver dumpling soup), spätzle (egg noodles), brezeln (pretzel),  schmalznudel (Bavarian doughnut) and apfelstrudel (apple strudel). “Liquid bread” beer types include weissbier (wheat beer), helles (pale lager), dunkles (dark beer), starkbier (strong beer) and märzen (pale, amber or dark-brown lager – higher alcohol content than regular Helles – popular at Oktoberfest). Also popular are wine (red and white ) and cider. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Munich accommodations that will help make for an excellent trip.

Geneva known for: fountain, flower clock, lakeside baths / parks, gardens, castles, medieval houses, museums, monuments, concert halls, music venues, scenic views, marinas, chocolate, fondue, watchmaking, Calvinism

Geneva is located in Switzerland’s remote west. Bordering France at 1,230 feet above sea level, Geneva is surrounded by the Bernese Alps and the Jura Mountains. French is the city’s official language. About 3 hours from the Swiss capital of Zurich, Geneva is complimented by 45-mile long, 8.7-mile wide, 1,020-foot deep Lake Geneva, which is home to a number of fish species ranging from walleye to largemouth bass. Prior to the 16th century, Lake Geneva was named Lac Léman, which , having been revived in the 18th century, remains the lake’s official French name to this day. 60% of Lake Geneva belongs to Switzerland and 40% belongs to France.

Although Geneva is home to the United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG), Switzerland is not part of the European Union (EU). Switzerland does participate in the Schengen Agreement (abolishes internal border checks, allows police to cross borders in pursuit). The Schengen Agreement as applied to Switzerland stipulates that short stays may not exceed 90 days in any 180-day period. Good to know is that driving between Geneva / Switzerland and France generally is seamless.

Geneva’s professional football club is Servette FC, which plays at Stade de Genève on the city’s south side. Although English is spoken in Geneva, especially in tourist areas, learning at least some French, and even Italian, could be helpful. Geneva electrical outlets require special plug types (Types C and J). As such it can be helpful to pack outlet adapters in advance. Geneva’s currency is the Swiss Franc, cars travel on the right-hand side of the road and the legal drinking ages are 16 years old for beer / wine and 18 years old for liquor. Geneva accommodations are some of Central Europe’s best. Before we get to Geneva accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

The Gallic Allobrogian people first fortified the border town of Geneva to fend off the neighboring Celtic Helvetians. In 121 BC, however, the town fell to the Roman Republic. Julius Caesar once referred to the town as Genava, possibly in reference to the Celtic word genawa- / genu- (“mouth” / estuary), while referencing the Italian port city of Genoa (Genova). Under the Late Roman Empire, Geneva became Christian and acquired its first bishop circa the 5th century. The Diocese of Geneva, a Latin Church ecclesiastical jurisdiction / diocese, merged with the Diocese of Chambéry around this time. In the century prior, the town had been connected to the Bishopric of Vienne. Medival Geneva was known as pagus major Genevensis or Comitatus Genevensis (Middle Latin language) and later the Genevois province of Savoy. During the Middle Ages, the County of Geneva was ruled by a Holy Roman Empire “count”. In the late-14th century, however, the town was granted self-governance by way of a charter, albeit at the hands of the House of Savoy, a royal, Franco-Italian house. The 15th-century’s, newly formed Grand Council of Geneva instituted a “oligarchic republican” government. The Protestation Reformation reached the city early in the following century. Savoy rule was overthrown and Geneva allied itself with the Swiss Confederacy, or the Old Swiss Confederacy, a loose confederation of independent states. French theologian and pastor John Calvin, who inspired Calvinism, became the city’s spiritual leader in 1541. Calvin’s Geneva is sometimes referred to as “Protestant Rome”. After Calvin, Catholic France moved in by the 18th century. The Swiss banking system is rooted in the Great Council of Geneva, which outlawed the disclosure of information concerning the European upper class circa 1713. Due to the French crown’s persecution of his controversial writings, François-Marie Arouet, also known as Voltaire, sought refuge in Geneva, where he resided at Les Délices between March 1755 and late-1760. Catholic France’s presence was at odds with the Geneva townspeople. A conflict between upper-middle class merchant burghers and lower-middle class “natives”, who were principally watchmakers, was the Geneva Revolution of 1782. Having been excluded from voting or serving in office, natives, along with immigrant “habitants”, broke into the municipal armory and armed themselves on February 5, 1781. To assuage the impending rebellion, the Genevan Small Council voted to grant voting rights to 100 “natives” and 20 “habitants”, which was reneged over a year later by the Genevan Small Council, naturally sparking further revolutionary insinuations. Ultimately, with support from the Kingdom of France, the city-state of Bern and the Kingdom of Sardinia, the burghers exiled 21 prominent revolutionaries, who were followed-out by around 500 other natives / habitants, first to the Swiss town of Neuchâtel, where they were again exiled, and then to Waterford, Ireland. Shortly after the 1782 revolution, Geneva was annexed in 1798. At the end of the Napoleonic Wars, France lost Geneva, which joined the Swiss Confederation on May 19, 1815. Separation of church and state commenced in 1907, and from there Geneva began to flourish.

Home to over 200,000 “Genevans”, Geneva is Switzerland’s second-most populous city behind Zurich. Geneva is the Republic and Canton of Geneva’s capital. Although Geneva’s municipal area spans a mere 6 square miles, the city’s ranked as the world’s forth-most expensive city for expatriate employees. Historically, the Swiss banking system has been renowned for its levels of low risk and high privacy. Geneva has a number of tall buildings, though the city is not known for its skyscrapers. At 300 feet, Pictet Tower is the tallest building currently. Geneva’s main Christmas market is Noël au Quai. Defined by a temperate climate, The Peace Capital experiences warm summers and cool winters. Average summer high temperatures average around 80 °F, while winters stay around 40 °F.  Light frosts are common during winter nights. Snowfall is typically minimal within the city, though the distant, snow-capped mountains make for dramatic scenery. Additional points of interest are Institute et Musée Voltaire, Grand Théâtre de Genève, University of Geneva and Collège Calvin (Geneva’s oldest public secondary school – founded 1559 by John Calvin). Local foods include longeole (traditional pork sausage with cumin), malakoff (fried cheese ball), bircher muesli (breakfast cereal made with cream and lemon juice), rösti (potato fritter), fondue and chocolate. Popular drinks are white wine, craft beer, coffee and hot chocolate. Switzerland’s national drink is Rivella (soft drink since 1952 produced from milk whey). With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Geneva accommodations that are sure to inspire.

Once occupied by Vlad III (Vlad the Impaler), Bucharest is separated into 6 “Sectors”. Flowing through Bucharest, the Dâmbovița River converges with the Argeș River, a tributary of the Danube. Encircling the city is the fully operational Centura București (Bucharest Beltway) ring road. The partially-built Bucharest Ring Motorway (under construction) is slated to be the city’s second, outer ring road.

More fun things: Dracula’s Castle Day Trip, City Walking Tour

Bucharest’s top football club is FCSB, which plays at Arena Națională (The National Arena) on the city’s east side. Although English is widely spoken in Bucharest, especially in the service industry and with the younger crowd, learning some Romanian words / phrases of course would be helpful. Buna ziua (hello), la revedere (goodbye), mulțumesc (thank you) and vorbiți engleză (do you speak English?) are good places to start. Compared to other European capital cities, Bucharest is relatively inexpensive. When in Bucharest, keep in mind that it’s possible to see stray dogs, which are best avoided. Crime is generally low, though beggars do exist who are typically Roma people, sometimes referred to as “gypsies”. Apart from begging, pickpocketing is known to occur. In Bucharest restaurants and bars, tips are greatly appreciated. Bucharest currency is the Romanian Lei, cars travel on the right-hand side and the drinking age is 18 years old. Bucharest accommodations are some of Southeastern Europe’s best. Before we get to Bucharest accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

The Romanian name Bucharesti’s origin is unclear. Possibly the name derived from a shepherd named Bucar, who, according to legend, founded the city. Bucurie in Romanian means “joy”. Historically, Bucharest was located in an area of present-day Romania known as Wallachia (1290 AD – 1859 AD). Bucharest was first mentioned in 1459 as the “Citadel of Bucharest”. Voivode of Wallachia, Vlad III “the Impaler” occupied Bucharest in November 1476, forcing the Ottoman-backed ruler there, Basarab Laiotă, to seek refuge in the Ottoman Empire. A month later, Vlad the Impaler was killed near Snagov (25 miles north of Bucharest), though the circumstances surrounding his death, and burial, are uncertain. Different theories exist. Vlad’s army of about 2,000 may have been cornered and massacred by about 4,000 Turkish-Basarabs. Vlad may have been slain by a disguised Turkish assassin in his own camp, or by his own troops who mistook him for a Turk in battle. Vlad’s body was likely dismembered, with his head placed on a high spike for display in Constantinople. Tradition states that the remnants of Vlad’s corpse were discovered in Snagov marshes by monks from the nearby monastery. Although Vlad’s exact burial location is unknown, theories point to either Snagov Monastery or Comana Monastery. Regardless of the uncertainty surrounding his death, Vlad III is remembered most famously through the character Dracula. During Vlad’s second reign, Old Princely Court (Curtea Veche) was erected in present-day central Bucharest. After Vlad’s demise, Bucharest became a summer residence for the royal court. Bucharest became the Wallachian court’s permanent location in 1699 on account of the town’s proximity to Southern Muntenia, and through demands made by the suzerain (Ottomans). Greek administrators and members of prominent families, Phanariotes were appointed by the Ottomans to run the town during the 18th century. The Constantinople Greeks’ rule, however, came to an end by way of the 1821 Wallachian uprising. Beginning a few years after the uprising, Bucharest was placed under Russian, and then Austrian, control. In early-1847, about a third of the city was destroyed by fire. Wallachia and Moldavia united in 1862 to form the Principality of Romania, with Bucharest becoming the new nation’s capital. 19 years later, the Kingdom of Romania was established. Today’s ring road route was once occupied by 19th-century fortifications that encircled the city. Following the World War I Battle of Bucharest, Germans occupied the city, and the capital was temporarily moved to Iași (Jassy). Bucharest reclaimed its capital status during the interwar period of Greater Romania. During this time, iconic landmarks were built such as Arcul de Triumf and Palatul Telefoanelor, though further urban developments were hampered by the Great Depression in Romania and the Grivița Strike of 1933. Romania initially allied with Axis powers during World War II, and Bucharest was the site of a 1941 Legionnaires’ rebellion and pogrom. Early in the war, Bucharest took heavy damage from Allied bombings. However, Romania switched sides to join Allied forces after an August 1944 royal coup (King Michael). Subsequently, Bucharest was bombed by the Nazi Luftwaffe, though the city suppressed an additional German attempt to regain the city. Following World War II, communism was installed in Romania by way of the Socialist Republic of Romania (1947-1989). The Soviet Union considered Romania a conquered territory on account of its early allegiance to the Nazis. The Romanian Parliament abolished the monarchy on December 30, 1947 and declared Romania a “People’s Republic”. The following year, the Communists merged with the Social Democrats to form the Romanian Workers’ Party. The constitution of April 13,1948, mimicking the 1936 Soviet Constitution, solidified a communist regime in Romania. Under communism, Romania endured political repression. Marxist–Leninist atheism was promoted, while religious persecution was carried out. Church properties, including schools, and all banks were nationalized in 1948. Due to Nicolae Ceaușescu’s late-1960s nativist policies, illegal abortions led to orphanages, street children and overcrowding in homes and schools. During this time, invasions of privacy were carried out by the secret police (Securitate), and censorship was implemented. Antii-Ceaușescu protests prompted the Romanian Revolution of 1989, which led to the overthrow of the Communist regime, and student leagues’ organizing of anti-Communist rallies in early-1990. From there, modernization ensued to include the restoration of Bucharest’s old historic center.

Home to around 1.9 million “Bucharesters”, Bucharest is Romania’s capital and largest city. 9% of Romania’s population resides in Bucharest. Industry and service sectors help drive the city’s economy, with most of Romania’s large companies based in Paris of the East. The Bucharest Stock Exchange lists 83 companies and has a market capitalization of around $75 billion. 100 high-rise buildings make up the city’s skyline, with 6 skyscrapers exceeding 328 feet in height. Characterized by a humid continental climate, Bucharest experiences hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters. July high temperatures average around 87 °F, while January highs dip to around 37 °F. Bucharest’s 6 sectors are disposed radially so that each district has a part of city center. District 1 comprises the northwest, while subsequent districts continue clockwise, ending at westward district 6. Additional points of interest include Palace of the Parliament, Old Town, Lipscani district (Old Town Middle Ages / 19th century commercial area – restaurants, bars, nightlife), Calea Victoriei (central avenue), Victoriei Avenue (central boulevard – architecture, luxury shops, cultural landmarks), Unirii Boulevard (central thoroughfare), Magheru Boulevard (central street – shopping district), Unirii Square, National Museum of Art of Romania, Odeon Theatre, Palace of the Romanian Orthodox Patriarchate (Palatul Patriarhiei), Palace of Justice, National Library of Romania, Cărturești Carusel Bookstore, SkyTower (Romania’s tallest building – shopping mall, entertainment, retail offices), Unirea Shopping Center, Herăstrău Park, University of Bucharest and Romexpo Dome. Local foods include sarmale (stuffed cabbage rolls), mititei (sausages), smoked meats, meat pies, potato soup, bean soup, cheeses (Telemea, Brânză de Burduf, Branza lui Voda),  murături (pickles), covrigi (pretzels) and turta dulce (gingerbread). Romania’s national drink is ţuică (potent moonshine – distilled from plums), while palinca (strong fruit brandy), craft beer and wine are also popular. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Bucharest accommodations that will help make for a memorable experience.

When visiting Dallas, keep in mind that people dress formally in the downtown area, while more casually in the city’s outskirts. Dallas generally is considered safe, though one should remain vigilant nonetheless, especially at night in places like South / West Dallas and even Deep Ellum. As a visitor, “howdy”, “ya’ll” and “have a blessed day” are expressions to use sparingly. Dallas accommodations are some of the southwestern United States’ best. Before we get to Dallas accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

North Texas was inhabited first by indigenous tribes including the Caddo Nation, Comanche Nation, Wichita, Kickapoo and Tawakoni. Following European arrival, Texas was controlled by Spain (Early Spanish explorations – 1519–1543), France (French Texas – 1684–1689), Spain (Spanish ‘Tejas’ Texas – 1690–1821), Mexico (Mexican Texas – 1821–1836), the Republic of Texas (1836–1845), the United States (Republic of Texas annexed to the USA, becoming 28th State – 1845–1860), the Confederate States (Texas secedes from the Union, joins Confederacy – 1861–1865) and the United States (post-Civil War – 1865-present), respectively. Spain first arrived to conduct slave raids in the 16th century, which created long-lasting, Native American disdain for Spain in particular. In 1685, France intended to establish a settlement at the mouth of the Mississippi River, but inaccurate maps and navigational errors led them 400-miles astray westerly to Texas, where French explorer René-Robert Cavelier de La Salle and members of his expedition established Fort Saint-Louis. France’s colonization of Texas lasted only three years (1685-1688), mainly due to epidemics, challenging conditions and Native American raids. In 1716, following a failed attempt 26 years prior, Spanish colonists claimed the Texas territory permanently for New Spain’s Viceroyalty, with San Antonio becoming the capital circa 1719. The Apache Nation’s easternmost band, the Lipan Apache gave Spain the most trouble early-on, until peaceful terms were met in 1749. Subsequently, both the Spanish and Lipan were met with Comanche raids until 1785, when an additional peace agreement was negotiated among all parties. Through the 1803 Louisiana Purchase, the United States acquired northern portions of Texas, and Anglo-American influence increased in the area. Napoleon’s abdication of King Ferdinand VII in May 1808 created uncertainty regarding who was actually in control of the Spanish Empire, especially in the colonies. The 1810-1821 Mexican War of Independence between Mexico and Spain resulted in an independence agreement, with the Spanish Empire losing the territory of the Viceroyalty of New Spain. Toward the war’s end, the 1819 Adams–Onís Treaty established the Red River as New Spain’s northern boundary, placing future-Dallas in Spanish territory. When Mexico declared independence from Spain in 1821, however, the Dallas-area fell briefly into the Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas. Texas gained independence from Mexico in 1836, when a majority of Anglo-American settlers formed the Republic of Texas. Presbyterian farmer, lawyer and tradesman John Neely Bryan, two years after after planting a stake in the ground on a Trinity River three forks bluff, established a permanent settlement named Dallas in 1841. Although the settlement name’s origin is unclear, several possibilities include future Vice President George M. Dallas, one of Dallas’ brothers Commodore Alexander James, James R. or Walter Dallas or Dallas, Moray, Scotland. In 1845, the Republic of Texas was annexed by the United States, and the following year Dallas County was established, with Dallas being formally incorporated as a city on February 2, 1856. Texas’ first railroad was the Buffalo Bayou, Brazos, and Colorado Railway (BBB&C), which began operating a 20-mile connection in 1853. Farming, the cattle trade and its strategic location on trade routes helped sustain early-Dallas. On February 1, 1861, Texas declared its secession from the Union. Replacing governor Sam Houston with Lieutenant Governor Edward Clark, Texas joined the Confederate States on March 2, 1861. Confederate Texas was most useful for supplying the Confederate Army with soldiers and supplies. Following the Civil War, Texas was absorbed back into the Union, as the Declaration of Secession had not been officially recognized by the US government at Washington, DC. More railroads were constructed in the late-19th century, and the Dallas-area became a hub for the shipping of commodities such as cotton and oil. One of the first skyscrapers west of the Mississippi, the Praetorian Building was built at Main and Stone Streets in downtown Dallas circa 1909. Around this time, thoroughbred horseracing, which included the Dallas Jockey Club and a Fort Worth racetrack, was introduced to the area. On March 3, 1910, black man Allen Brooks, accused of raping a young white girl, was lynched at the downtown intersection of Main and Akard. During the Great Depression, Dallas was relatively unaffected, helped largely by oilman Columbus Marion “Dad” Joiner’s striking of oil in Kilgore (100 miles east of Dallas) in 1930. Through the Texas oil boom, Dallas became Texas and Oklahoma’s financial center for the oil industry. During World War II, Ford’s plant in East Dallas produced over 94,000 jeeps and over 6,000 military trucks, while North American Aviation manufactured over 18,000 aircraft at its Dallas plant, for the United States and Allied forces. On November 22, 1963, passing through Dealey Plaza in a convertible car alongside his wife Jacqueline and motorcade, US President John F. Kennedy was struck by two bullets, and pronounced dead 30 minutes later at Dallas Parkland Memorial Hospital.

Home to around 1.3 million “Dallasites”, Dallas is the Lone Star State’s third most populous city behind Houston and San Antonio. Big D spans 385.9 square miles, 43.87 of which are occupied by water. A major business hub, Dallas is corporate headquarters for a number of publicly traded companies such as AT&T, Energy Transfer LP, Tenet Healthcare, Southwest Airlines and Texas Instruments. The Dallas skyline includes 262 skyscrapers, 28 of which exceed 400 feet in height. Rising 921 feet, Bank of America Plaza is the city’s tallest building. Probably the most recognizable building is the ball-shaped Reunion Tower, which makes for an impressive spectacle especially at night. Dallas is a major destination for both business and tourism, welcoming around 25 million visitors annually. One of the United States’ largest convention centers at over 1,000,000 square feet, and boasting the world’s single-largest column-free exhibit hall, Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas is located centrally, close to Reunion Tower.  The city’s humid subtropical climate accounts for hot, humid summers and mild winters with occasional cold spells. Summer highs average in the mid-90s °F, while winter highs average around 60 °F. Frost, hail and tornadoes are all entirely possible in Dallas. Additional points of interest include Downtown, Dallas Arts District, Meadows Museum, NorthPark Center, City Hall, AT&T Performing Arts Center (Dallas Center for the Performing Arts) and Union Station Dallas. Barbecue and Tex-Mex cuisine are both big in Dallas. Local foods include T-bone steak, tenderloin, beef brisket, ribs, sausage, cowboy chili (beef, chilis, spices, no beans), chili con queso and chips, chicken-fried steak, pecan pie, lava cake, sheet cake and peach cobbler. Popular drinks are craft beer, specialty cocktails, whiskey and, invented in Dallas circa 1971, the frozen margarita. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Dallas accommodations that are sure to knock your boots off.

Deep-rooted in country music, Nashville was once Johnny Cash’s home for 35 years. Notable neighborhoods include The Gulch (former railroad yard – high-rises, high-end retail stores, restaurants), Downtown (live music venues, honky tonks, restaurants, shops), Music Row (music district – recording studios, radio stations, record label offices) and East Nashville (fine dining restaurants, dive bars, live music venues, shops, street art). In Nashville, highways during rush hour, roadways after Sunday-morning church and coffee shops during brunch time can be particularly busy places. Nashville accommodations are some of the southern United States’ best. Before we get to Nashville accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Native Americans inhabited the Nashville area for an estimated 14,000 years. It is believed that the first settlers arrived during the Paleoindian period circa 13,000 BC. The Middle Cumberland Mississippian tribe, who built platform mounds, palisaded villages and stone box cemeteries, vanished from the area sometime around 1500 AD. From there, various tribes, including the Shawnee, Cherokee and Chickasaw, utilized the area as a hunting ground. In 1710, French trader Charles Charleville established a trading post named French Lick, which would later become Nashville. French Canadian fur trader Timothy Demonbreun, who utilized the French Lick trading post and lived in a cave alongside the Cumberland River, is thought to be the first non-native to inhabit the area permanently. Although John Buchanan may have arrived in the area shortly beforehand, James Robertson generally is regarded as negotiating the area’s first permanent European settlement, Fort Nashborough. Fort Nashborough was named after brigadier general Francis Nash, a Revolutionary War hero. In 1780, French Lick was officially renamed to Nashboro, which was in turn renamed to Nashville circa 1784. By 1800, Nashville had 345 residents, 136 of which were slaves. Nashville was incorporated in 1806 and became Tennessee’s capital in 1843. The city became a center for trade in tobacco, hemp, livestock and slaves, as well as a breeding and training ground for thoroughbred horses. Moreover, Nashville was considered one of the south’s wealthiest cities on account of its iron production. Nashville was not immune to adversity, however, as a mid-19th-century cholera epidemic took the lives of about 630 of 10,000 residents, including former president James K. Polk. About 700 free blacks in northern Nashville, and about 3,200 slaves in the city, lived in the area before the Civil War. Antebellum Nashville indeed had become a prosperous city by 1860, just prior to the war. A prized shipping port and railway center, however, Nashville became the first Confederate state capital to fall to Union forces in February 1862. The Union Army occupied the city throughout the war, and many slaves fled northward. The December 15-16, 1864 Battle of Nashville between the Union and Confederate States resulted in a Union victory and the disbanding of the Army of Tennessee. In 1872 and 1875, freedmen David Jones and Jo Reed were lynched in Nashville. Reed escaped, however, as the rope from which he had been hanged over a suspension bridge had broken. Cholera struck Nashville again in 1873. Suspected of assaulting two white sisters, brothers Ephraim and Henry Grizzard were lynched in early-1892. In 1893, the magazine Confederate Veteran began publication, and in 1894 the United Daughters of the Confederacy first organized. The Parthenon, an Athens Parthenon replica, was built in 1897. Founded on November 28, 1925 by George D. Hay, the Grand Ole Opry started out as a one-hour radio “barn dance” on WSM radio. Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack opened at the corner of Jefferson Street and 28th Avenue in 1945. On September 14, 1946, at a time when recording studios started emerging, Hank Williams visited the city and auditioned for the Grand Ole Opry, but was rejected. Six years later, Williams moved to Nashville and shared a house with singer Ray Price, who left soon thereafter due to Williams’ alcoholism. The musical style Nashville Sound had become popular by the late-1950s. Elvis Presley made his first recordings for RCA in Nashville circa January 10, 1956. One of the 20-century’s most influential vocalists, Patsy Cline moved to Music City in 1958 and became a member of the Grand Ole Opry. In 1964, Dolly Parton moved to Nashville, where she found immediate success as a songwriter alongside her uncle and songwriting partner Bill Owens. A destination for jazz and blues musicians, Jefferson Street was split by the federal government’s Interstate 40 in the late 1960s, a time when Johnny Cash moved to the city from Memphis. Jimmie Rodgers, regarded as the father of Country Music, was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame circa 1970 alongside Hank Williams, Pee Wee King, Redd Stewart, Cindy Walker, Gene Autry, Johnny Bond and Bob Wills. The Tennessee Oilers played their first game at Vanderbilt Stadium in 1998, the same year the Nashville Predators were founded. A year later, Nissan Stadium opened, and the Oilers changed their name to the Tennessee Titans.

Tennessee’s capital and most populous city, Nashville is home to around 715,00 “Nashvillians”. Nashville is about 300 miles southwest of country music’s birthplace, Bristol, Tennessee. Music City’s skyline consists of 38 skyscrapers at 300 feet or higher. Under construction, Paramount Tower is slated to be Nashville’s tallest building at 750 feet (60 stories) by 2027. Probably the city’s most recognizable building is the AT&T Building, locally dubbed the “Batman Building” due to its resemblance of said comic book character. Several notable mansions are found throughout the Nashville area. These estates include the aforementioned Hermitage (Andrew Jackson’s – American general, 7th US President), country music singer Barbara Mandrell’s Fontanel Mansion and plantation owners Adelicia and Joseph Acklen’s Belmont Mansion. Established in 1873 and presently enrolling around 13,000 students, Vanderbilt University is found on the city’s southwest side. Defined by a pleasant, humid subtropical climate, Nashville’s high temperatures average around 90 ℉ in July, and 47 ℉ in January. Tree leaves do fall in Nashville, with mid-October through mid-November usually the best time for Fall foliage. Snowfall is possible in winter months, though typically is not heavy. Additional points of interest include Tennessee Tower Plaza, Lower Broadway (“Lower Broad” – honky tonk bars), Printer’s Alley (historic, cobblestone, printing industry alleyway – live music venues, nightclubs, bars), RCA Studio B (birthplace of “Nashville sound” background vocals / strings – built 1957) and Tennessee State Capitol. Local foods include meat and three (pick 1 meat, add 3-6 sides), hot chicken, steak, barbecue (pulled pork, glazed ribs, etc.), mac ‘n cheese, spicy beans, coleslaw, hamburgers, fish and chips, biscuits and chocolate. Honky tonk drinks typically involve whiskey, tequila, bourbon or vodka, while craft breweries are found throughout the city. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Nashville accommodations that are sure to help make for an outstanding trip.

Maldives Accommodations

Maldives accommodations

Maldives accommodations

Maldives accommodations welcome you to a destination officially named the Republic of Maldives.

Maldives known for: white sandy beaches, atolls, turquoise lagoons, over-water villas, spas, infinity pools, fine dining restaurants, watersports activities

An archipelagic state and country in South Asia, Maldives is located remotely in the Indian Ocean, about 1,700 miles southwest of India / Sri Lanka. Maldives is made up of 26 natural atolls (ring-shaped reefs, islands, or chains of islands formed of coral). Encompassing each of the over-1,000 Maldives islands, turquoise lagoon waters average 3-5 feet in depth. Deeper-blue Indian Ocean waters beyond the lagoons can drop to over 13,000 feet. Maldives’ natural ground levels average only 5 feet above sea level. As such, Maldives is earth’s lowest-elevated country.

Maldives main airport: Velana International Airport

From the airport, accommodations generally are accessible via speedboat, sea plane or domestic flight (see accommodation fine print for details).

Maldives accommodations are set mostly on their own small islands. Snorkeling and scuba diving are two prime examples of watersport activities. Maldives sea life includes various reef fish, tuna, sea turtles, octopus, squid, lobsters, dolphins and stingrays. Several shark species do exist in Maldives (reef sharks for example), though attacks on humans are rare. More dangerous than sharks in Maldives are stingrays. It’s best to try and keep your distance from stingrays by not swimming too close to the ocean floor. Stingrays are known to hide in sand to avoid predators, and their tails can act like daggers. Snorkeling and scuba diving generally are considered safe activities in Maldives. There are some sea creatures to be warry of, however. Apart from common stingrays, Maldives’ potentially dangerous sea animals include Lionfish (venomous), Stonefish (venomous), Blue-ringed Octopus (venomous), Blue-spotted Rays (venomous), Moray Eels, Sea Urchins (pointy), Triggerfish, Barracuda and Surgeonfish. Safe havens for some incredible reef fish, coral can be extremely sharp like a razor blade. Be sure to note any dive shop / watersport equipment rental agency tips / advice prior to entering the water. On land, modest dress is advisable while in public. As Maldives is a Muslim country, things like drugs, alcohol and dogs (pork hot dogs and actual dogs) are strictly prohibited in public places. It’s best to avoid Malé at night, and make sure not to wear shoes in homes or mosques. Maldives accommodations are some of the world’s best. Before we get to Maldives accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Maldives has been inhabited for an estimated 2500 years. Scribed by early Maldives settlers, copperplate documents (Loamaafaanu) provide the best reference to early settlement. Of Indian origin, Gujaratis from Sri Lanka are thought to be Maldives’ first settlers sometime around 500 BC. Boatbuilding methods and silver punch-marked coins found in Maldives are evidence of a North Indian cultural influence. A Sri Lankan immigration to the area is documented in the 300 BC historical chronical Mahāvaṃsa. with legendary first settlers denoted as Divi and Dheyvi. Likely built of wood and palm fronds, early Maldives buildings have naturally perished. Apart from its legendary origins, Maldives was largely dominated by Buddhist and Islamic periods, which lasted until 1558, when the Portuguese set up a small garrison in the area. Unsuccessfully, the Portuguese attempted to establish Christianity on the islands. In turn, locals eventually drove out the Portuguese.  By the mid-17th century, the Dutch had established a hegemony, a political, economic and military predominance, in the area. Like the Portuguese before them, however, the Dutch too were driven out, albeit by British, not local, enforcement. Maldives remained a British crown protectorate from 1796 until 1952. Britain attempted to install a constitutional monarchy, but was met by an angry mob that publicly tore up the crown’s Constitution. Britain’s 853-year monarchy ended on March 15, 1968, when the Maldives parliament ruled in favor of a Republic. On November 11, 1968 an official Republic was established under president Ibrahim Nasir. Tourism commenced in the early-1970s with the opening of Kurumba Maldives resort on North Male Atoll.

Pronounced maal · deevz, Maldives is Asia’s smallest country by land area and population. Home to around 520,000 “Dhivehins”, Maldives is an isolated archipelago in the Arabian Sea. Maldives is home to underwater villas, which are multi-level luxury residences with a master bedroom submerged below sea level. These master bedroom “aquariums” provide panoramic views of marine life. An example of an underwater villa is The Muraka Residence found at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island. Maldives’ capital is Malé, which is pronounced maa · leh. Home to around 250,000 people, Malé is one of the world’s most densely-populated cities. Malé is also known as “King’s Island” due to its ancient royal dynasties, which  ruled from its central location. Malé generally isn’t frequented by tourists. If you do happen to find yourself there, however, be wary especially during protests and at night, as mugging  and pickpocketing are known to occur. Apart from not wearing shoes in houses or mosques, be sure not to hold hands or kiss publicly if in Malé. Home to a tropical monsoon climate, Maldives experiences hot and humid weather throughout the year. Average high temperatures stay in the upper 80s ℉. Maldives’ rainiest month typically is November, though December and May also receive above-average rainfall. Direct flights between the USA and Maldives do not exist. A common flight route from the USA to Maldives goes through Doha, Qatar. Direct flights to Velana International Airport are also possible from the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, France, Italy, Poland, Austria, Russia and Turkey. Maldives local foods include garudia (soup – dried / smoked fish, rice, lime, chili), kandu kukulhu (traditional dish – tuna curry),  gulha (snack food – tuna and coconut dumplings), masroshi (stuffed fried dough snack), roshi (flat bread), tuna, rice, coconut, screwpine fruits, rihaakuru (tuna-based thick sauce), pickles, various curries and spicy sauces. Apart from tuna, wahoo and mahi-mahi are the most common fish dishes. Alcoholic beverages are found commonly in most resorts, though keep in mind that the general population does not consume alcohol. Owing to British tradition, kalhu sai (black tea) and kiru sai (milk tea) are common local drinks. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Maldives accommodations that are sure to amaze.

A flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu takes a little under 5 hours, while a flight from Tokyo takes over 8 hours. To put island navigation into perspective, it’s about a 55-minute drive from Honolulu to Oahu’s northernmost Kawela Bay. When hiking, keep an eye out for centipedes and wild pigs. Although tiger sharks are spotted frequently off Oahu’s southern coast, shark attacks are rare. Nevertheless, be conscious of your surroundings in the ocean and refrain from swimming at night. At swimming holes and beaches, keep an eye out for any water safety signs, as Enterococcus bacteria, fuel leaks, etc. are possible. Waterproof phone cases, water shoes and bug spray are particularly useful items to pack. Honolulu accommodations are some of the Pacific’s best. Before we get to Honolulu accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

The word “Honolulu” means “sheltered harbor” or “calm port” in Hawaiian. Hawaii’s first settlers are believed to be Polynesian migrants, who crossed over 2,000 miles of ocean in Waʻa double-hulled canoes from the modern Marquesas Islands, sometime around the 11th century. The first foreigner to encounter Honolulu Harbor was British whaling captain William Brown circa November 1794. Thereafter, Honolulu became a focal point for foreign merchant ships sailing between North America and Asia. Captain Brown initially took sides with Maui chief Kahekili II, but was later killed along with several of his men by King of Oahu Kalanikupule. Fought in May 1795, the Battle of Nuʻuanu between conqueror / Kingdom of Hawaii first ruler “Kamehameha The Great” Kamehameha I and Oahu’s King Kalanikupule resulted in a Kamehameha I victory. From Big Island (Hawai’i) Kamehameha landed near Waiʻalae and Waikiki before advancing westward on Kalanikupule’s positions near Punchbowl Crater. Kamehameha’s army flanked Kalanikupule and drove his warriors northward, ultimately to the cliffs at Nuʻuanu Pali, below which construction workers in 1896 discovered about 800 skulls believed to be remains of Kalanikupule’s warriors who had fallen to their deaths. After the battle, Kamehameha I moved his royal court from Big Island to Waikiki circa 1804. In 1809, the court relocated to present-day downtown Honolulu, but in 1812 moved back to Kailua-Kona. American Protestant missionaries arrived in April 1823. Led by Hiram Bingham I, the missionaries introduced Christianity to the Hawaiian Islands. Kawaiahaʻo Church, constructed of around 14,000 thousand-pound slabs of coral rock, was established in downtown Honolulu around the time of the missionaries’ arrival. The Kingdom of Hawaii’s third king Kamehameha III moved the permanent capital from Maui’s Lahaina to Honolulu in 1845. From there, modern buildings were constructed such as ʻIolani Palace, Aliʻiōlani Hale and St. Andrew’s Cathedral, respectively. American missionary descendants established major downtown businesses in the mid-19th century. In 1893, the Hawaiian monarchy was overthrown by way of a coup d’état against Queen Liliʻuokalani, and Hawaii was subsequently annexed by the United States in 1898. Thereafter, adversity struck in the form of bubonic plague / a large fire in 1900, followed by the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. A high-speed passenger liner, America Maru arrived at Honolulu Harbor in October 1899 carrying a shipment of rice, along with rats. Destined for Chinatown, the rice-rats, along with poor living conditions / sewage disposal, created a perfect storm that unleashed bubonic plague. Part of the authorities’ response was to incinerate garbage and torch affected buildings. On January 20, 1900 winds picked up and an out-of-control conflagration ensued. Blazing for seventeen days, the Chinatown fire destroyed 38 acres of Honolulu, though without any casualties. 41 years later, on December 7, 1941, an even more devastating situation commenced, the attack on Pearl Harbor. A surprise military strike by the Empire of Japan, the attack on Pearl Harbor began at 7:48 a.m. The Japanese sent two waves from six aircraft carriers – 353 fighter aircraft, bombers and torpedo bombers. All 8 U.S. battleships were damaged, including 5 that sank, and 2,403 Americans were killed. Despite adversity in the first half of the 20th century, Honolulu remained the Hawaiian Islands’ capital. Hawaii became the United States’ 50th state on August 21, 1959, and from there Honolulu experienced a tourism boom.

Hawaii’s capital, Honolulu is home to around 350,000 “Kamaʻāina”. The remotest city of its size in the world, Honolulu has thrived as a port city. The United States Pacific Fleet, the world’s largest naval command, is based at Pearl Harbor to this day. Honolulu’s tallest building at 438-feet is First Hawaiian Center, though for many years prior was Aloha Tower near the waterfront. Notable neighborhoods are Downtown (financial center), the Arts District (within Chinatown Historic District), Capital District (eastern downtown – historic center), Kakaʻako (between Downtown and Waikiki – shopping areas), Ala Moana (between Kakaʻako and Waikiki – more shopping) and Waikiki (tourist district – hotels, shops, nightlife). Livable though expensive, Honolulu is one of the United States’ safest cities. High-priced homes are located in the affluent Waiʻalae and Kāhala districts. Along with finance, East / West trading, manufacturing, research and development and military defense, tourism is a major economic contributor. Honolulu received about 1.5 million visitors in 2024. Home to a semi-arid climate, Honolulu experiences fairly consistent temperatures year-round. Highs average between 80-90 ℉, while lows typically range between 65-75 ℉. Rainy season occurs between October and early-April. Sea temperatures range from 75.7 °F in March to 80.4 °F in September, with waves being highest during the winter months. Additional points of interest include Honolulu Zoo, University of Hawaii’i, Hawaiʻi Theatre, Neal Blaisdell Center, Waikīkī Shell, Diamond Head Theatre, USS Arizona Memorial and Aloha Stadium. Local foods include various seafoods (wahoo, goatfish, mahi mahi, ahi tuna, opah, kampachi, etc.), barbecue, poi (Indonesian staple food – pasty-purple, vitamin-rich), poke (diced raw fish), kalua pig (smoky, shredded pork dish), haupia (traditional coconut / milk-based dessert) and Hawaiian ice (vanilla ice cream & flavored ice block shavings – guava, coconut, passion fruit, pineapple, mango, kiwi, lychee, li hing mui, etc.). Popular drinks include signature cocktails (Flaming Volcanos, Mango Martinis, Lava Flows, Kiwi Coladas, Blue Hawaiis, etc.), craft beer and wine. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Honolulu accommodations that will help make for an unforgettable experience.

Sin City hot spots include Las Vegas Boulevard (“The Strip” – modern hotels, casinos, entertainment) and Fremont Street (city’s original location – vintage entertainment). Fremont Street is a short drive northward from The Strip. A major sports town of late, the city’s professional sports teams are the Las Vegas Raiders, the Vegas Golden Knights and the Las Vegas Aces. Vegas has hosted the World Series of Poker for the last 55 years. On The Strip especially, keep in mind that rideshare vehicles and taxis have designated drop-off / pickup areas (usually in front of the hotel / casino). While scorpions generally are uncommon in entertainment areas, they can be found in residential areas and are locally called “bugs”. Las Vegas accommodations are some of the southwestern United States’ best. Before we get to Las Vegas accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Las Vegas is a relatively young city. Human presence in the area, however, dates back roughly 10,000 years, as evidenced by Paleo-Indian petroglyphs found at Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area. About 2,000 years ago, Ancient Puebloan and Paiute tribes inhabited the area. The first non-Native American to behold the Las Vegas Valley is believed to be Rafael Rivera, a Mexican scout who in 1829 took part in Spanish explorer Antonio Armijo’s Spanish Trail expedition. With a 60-man party, Armijo set out from Nuevo Mexico along the Spanish Trail, intended for Los Angeles. During the Spanish Party expedition, a scouting party rode west in search of water. An inexperienced Rivera left the main party and, within two weeks, discovered an artesian spring water supply at Las Vegas Springs, a natural, bubbling oasis (cienega). United States Army officer, explorer and politician John C. Frémont, about 14 years after Rivera’s discovery, led an expedition west. On May 13, 1844 Fremont camped at Las Vegas Springs,, and his writings therein eventually attracted pioneers to the area. 11 years after Fremont, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints members chose the Las Vegas Springs area, which was about halfway between Salt Lake City and Los Angeles, to build a fort. Known as Old Mormon Fort, the area’s first permanent structure was abandoned several years later, though remnants of which are still standing at the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Washington Avenue. Built in New Mexico folk carpenter architectural style, Old Mormon Fort served to facilitate travel along the Spanish Trail. 50 years after the Old Mormon Fort was constructed, Las Vegas was founded as a city circa 1905. 110 acres of land adjacent to the Union Pacific Railroad tracks (modern downtown area) were auctioned. Hotel Nevada opened at 1 Fremont Street on January 13, 1906. 5 years later, Las Vegas was incorporated as a city. By 1931, Nevada had legalized casino gambling and reduced residency requirements for divorce to 6 weeks. Around this time, Hoover Dam tunnels began construction, which naturally assuaged economic hardship during the Great Depression, and presented mobsters with an opportunity to offer illicit activities to construction workers. On March 1, 1936, 2 years ahead of schedule, the Hoover Dam was officially completed. Established in late-1941, Las Vegas Army Airfield was ultimately renamed Nellis Air Force Base circa 1950. Nellis Air Force Base’s inauguration was attended by United States fighter pilot William Harrell Nellis’ family. Lieutenant Nellis flew 70 World War II combat missions and was shot down 3 times, the last time fatally. Hotels, casinos and entertainment largely were ushered in post-World War II. In May 1946, Bugsy Siegel took control of the Flamingo hotel, which opened unfinished on December 26, 1946. 65 miles northward of Las Vegas, the Nevada Test Site began nuclear weapons testing in 1951. Las Vegas “Atomic City” residents and visitors could actually witness mushroom clouds in the distance, and were exposed to fallout until 1963. The 1963 Treaty Banning Nuclear Weapon Tests in the Atmosphere, in Outer Space and Under Water brought an end to an era of Las Vegas-area mushroom clouds. Tycoons such as Howard Hughes started buying and building hotel-casino properties during the 1960s, and the term gambling was rebranded as “gaming”. Anthony Spilotro moved to Las Vegas in 1971 to help oversee the Chicago Outfit’s four casinos at the time, the Stardust, the Fremont, the Hacienda and the Marina. In 1995, the Fremont Street Experience opened in downtown. Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena opened on April 6, 2016, followed by Allegiant Stadium on July 31, 2020.

Nevada’s largest city, Las Vegas is home to around 700,000 ” Las Vegans” (not all vegans). Once ran by Jewish and Italian mobsters such as Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel and Anthony Spilotro, Sin City has been reshaped significantly since its early days. The Vegas of today is much more than just a gambling town and, as its nickname implies, place of ill-repute. Performing arts, professional sporting events, concerts, conventions, trade shows, exhibitions, museums, recreational activities, fine dining, upscale shopping, immersive experiences and more have all been introduced to a reimagined Las Vegas. A top-three USA destination for conventions, the city is home to the aforementioned Las Vegas Convention Center, or “LVCC”, which ranks as the United States’ third-largest convention center at 2,500,000 square feet. In 2023, 40.8 million people visited Vegas. Home to a hot desert climate, Las Vegas experiences extreme summer heat, short winters and cool nights. On average, 310 days per year are sunny. During peak summertime, the sun can damage parked cars’ steering wheels and heat asphalt parking lot surfaces to 160°F or more, which technically is hot enough to cook an egg (not recommended). The desert climate does offer a positive, however, in that it lacks humidity. Additional points of interest include The STRAT Tower, Golden Nugget Tank Pool, Las Vegas Springs Preserve, Las Vegas Arts District, Smith Center for the Performing Arts, Symphony Park (mixed-use district) and University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). Las Vegas restaurants and buffets are plentiful. A range of foods includes prime rib, shrimp cocktails, Chilean sea bass, Maine lobster rolls, cannoli, chicken and waffles and much more. Casino-themed alcoholic beverages are popular in Vegas. Drinks typically are free for gamblers on the casino floors. Tipping cocktail waitresses with casino chips is common practice. Keep in mind, however, that tipping with casino chips technically goes against Nevada gaming regulations, and could be considered a violation of federal mint laws, though enforcement is rare. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Las Vegas accommodations that will help make for an incredible experience.
