Ever felt like dessert menus are becoming a bit...predictable? A chocolate cake of some sort, a fruit-based pastry, cheesecake or tiramisu, a pudding or flan, and an ice cream or sorbet. Yawn. Fortunately, we recently came across a restauranteur who has not forgotten the childlike joy and simple pleasure that dessert can bring: chef Michael Blum, who recently opened Michael's Kitchen in Miami. He's bringing a bit of pomp and circumstance--as well as a needed dose of fun--back to the institution of dessert, serving up fanciful sweets like desserts like N'awlins style Bananas Foster, Twinkie Tiramisu, Over-the-Top Baked Alaska and the Milky Way Chocolate Malt, and our favorite, the Deep Dish Rice Krispie Dessert Pizza (what can we say, we're in a cereal state of mind lately!). And while you're probably intrigued by these dessert offerings, perhaps you are wondering: why would Cakespy be so cruel as to spotlight a place so far away? Well, for those of you whose travel plans don't include... See less

Writer Ann Bieri based this independent review on her 8-night Mexican Riviera cruise departing from San Diego, California. Carnival Spirit has been making waves since 2001. Step aboard this superliner and you’re instantly transported to an audacious Shangri-la in which Parisian art nouveau meets Las Vegas glitz. Decorous Tiffany-style lamps consort with flashing casino-esque signs, while paintings by European masters rub shoulders with Egyptian hieroglyphics. Pools may be kid-sized, but the lavish port-to-starboard casino packs in the crowds. Honeymooners, the retired, and families all love the exuberance of this sassy ship. | Why Carnival Spirit? * Entertainment dining: In the midst of fine dining in the opulent Empire Room, the maître d’ quips a pronouncement, music strikes up, and the wait staff begins dancing the Macarena. Guests are invited to join in the nightly line dance to burn off that extra dessert. * Dancing fools: Bring your favorite slippin’-and-slidin’ shoes for a groovy... See less

Spread across a verdant and mountainous chunk of land, Guatemala is endowed with simply staggering natural, historical and cultural interest. Though the giant Maya temples and rainforest cities have been long abandoned, ancient traditions remain very much alive throughout the Guatemalan highlands. Uniquely in Central America, at least half the country's population is still Native American, and this rural indigenous culture is far stronger than anywhere else in the region. Countering this is a powerful ladino society, characteristically urban and commercial in its outlook. All over the country you'll come across remnants of Guatemala's colonial past, nowhere more so than in the graceful former capital, Antigua. It's this outstanding cultural legacy, combined with Guatemala's mesmeric natural beauty, that makes the country so compelling for the traveller. The Maya temples of Tikal would be magnificent in any arena but set inside the pristine jungle of the Maya Biosphere Reserve, with... See less

"Hawaii" is a magazine devoted to covering all aspects of Hawaii, and as such is oriented less toward tourists and more toward residents than many other publications. The magazine covers current events in Hawaii, environmental issues on the islands, and features many cultural and heritage-oriented articles that many tourists will find of only passing interest. Every issue has a useful events calendar for all the islands individually ("Kauai Happenings," etc.) The editors are very good to cover all the islands equitably, with as much emphasis on Kauai as Oahu, for instance. Despite the seeming focus on residents, there are many articles of interest to visitors, and numerous advertisements of great use to tourists as well. I enjoy visiting Hawaii and find the magazine to be worthwhile, and actually enjoy the fact that it isn't focused exclusively on the tourist; the things I learn from "Hawaii" magazine help me to more fully appreciate the beauty and nuance of all the islands.

Language: Italian Capital City: Rome Calling Code: 39 Currency: Euro Good to Know: Books and Movies Few countries have been more written about than Italy, and travelogues—including the classic Concise History of Italy by Vincent Cronin—are numerous. For an insightful look at modern Italy, pick up any work by contemporary historian Paul Ginsborg, or The Dark Heart of Italy by Tobias Jones. Bernard Berenson's Painters of the Renaissance is the Italian art bible. For a highly entertaining account of the Roman Empire's heyday, check out the Rome series put out by HBO. The golden age of Italian cinema produced masterpieces such as Vittorio de Sica's Bicycle Thief (1948), and Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita (1959). Among newer films, Il Postino (The Postman, 1994) La vita è Bella (Life Is Beautiful, 1997) have been widely acclaimed.

Now for the first time in paperback, this classic provides a dramatic visual and written introduction to the land, people, culture, and history of Greece. Greece is a legendary destination, and anyone who has once fallen under its spell dreams of returning again and again. GREECE: Land of Light captures the essence of Greece-its striking sea and landscape, its people, its culture and history, and its ancient monuments. In the stark light of the Greek sun, colors become so pure and clear that they are almost audible. From the tip of the Peloponnese to the remote mountain villages of the far north to the islands of the Aegean, Brukoff's brilliant color images and Gage's evocative words delineate the heart of Greece. Included are the great classical ruins, Byzantine monasteries, colorful fishing villages, chairs at outdoor tavernas, octopus drying in the sun like laundry, and the ubiquitous cats-the vivid details that each traveler takes home as a memory. Gage's insightful essays on the... See less
