Our Trip to Rome - 2
We are staying at a really nice Bed & Breakfast in Rome, near the world-famous Coliseum and Termini - Rome's main railway station. They call it El Dorado Colleseum Hotel. It is located on the second floor of a big building that judging from its architecture and design used to be a 6-story wealthy family palazzo. It has high ceilings, a grand entrance and a big spiral staircase in the middle, with an obviously later addition of an old elevator that has a wooden bench and a set of double doors, with the inside wooden doors that must be open and closed manually. I have seen such elevators in some old New York City buildings, and they are most probably of the turn of the 20th century or early 1910s.

Our Trip to Rome
Every winter, my son and I travel around Christmas to warmer places. We both have long winter breaks as I teach and he is a student in academia, so we reward ourselves with a trip abroad. We've been to Brazil in 2019, Peru in 2021, and France last year. And this year, we decided to go to Rome.

“Holy Moses!” That was all I could think to say when I first laid eyes on the house. The largest, privately-owners home in the United States, by the way. That’s right: the current generation of Vanderbilt's still own their family estate to this day, and, in the spirit of their famous hospitality, they open up the house to public tours year-round.

Traveling gives us an openness to a different way of life. It helps us to escape our monotonous routine. Traveling is fun. One person will never be intellectually accomplished if they always remain at home. Traveling lets us witness different cultures, creeds, cuisine, climate, etc. Though traveling is enjoyable, it can be more economical.

Adrianna AnastasiadesPublished 6 months ago in WanderIs Disneyland losing its magic?
When I was a kid, going to Disneyland was a truly special experience. Of course, in the early 90s the average adult ticket for the day was 35 dollars. It was also only one park then but compared to today’s 194 on peak days. Of course, the peak season keeps gradually increasing meaning more days for nearly 200$. The value days price at around 104 which still is three times the price for a single park trip thirty years ago. Now I know about inflation, you don’t have to remind me. However Disney is a multibillion dollar company that charges this much money yet still can’t properly pay their employees to live in a high cost area like Southern California. Disney charges an arm and a leg for admission because they know someone will pay it, pricing out many lower income and even middle class families today.

For times immemorial, we've shared our world with a wild bunch of critters, adding tonnes of colour and rhythm to our lives. Some cool mammals are like our BFFs—smart and sociable, just like us. Dolphins and apes, our animal cousins, win us over with their brains and cuteness. Their cute clicks and flips are totally unique. And let's not forget Flipper, the dolphin superstar! In the early '60s, this American TV show charmed millions with Flipper, the bottlenose dolphin. Since then, bottlenose dolphins have ruled the dolphin kingdom like rockstars! Bottlenose dolphins are the shining stars of the warm tropical waters, especially in the Indian Ocean. When it comes to spotting these dolphins, Nelson Bay, Australia, takes the spotlight. Here, you can catch them frolicking near the wharf or hop on a Port Stephens dolphin cruise. However, keep in mind that since dolphin watching in Nelson Bay is renowned worldwide, you'll likely have some company of fellow dolphin lovers so plan your trip early!
