The exciting part of a motorcycle trip is jumping on the bike and riding. But if you want your trip to be safe and uninterrupted by bike failures, spend just a little bit of time and energy on maintenance before you ride away. You'll be able to ride farther and faster -- and you'll be able to concentrate on the ride, rather than on your bike.
I was delighted to learn that the latest addition to the Best Western family in Canada can be found in the East Kootenay region of British Columbia.
The area is arguably the most beautiful part of Canada and this in a country that is known for it's natural beauty. Despite being surrounded by the Canadian Rocky Mountains and at the edge of the breathtaking Kootenay National Park, the area, known as "Radium", is famous for the therapeutic Radium hot spring pools.

The world economy is recovering... but the recovery is uneven, and that's illustrated in how business travel costs have increased, decreased or remained about the same in various regions.
For example, hotel and food costs have jumped in fast growing places like Canada and South America. But there are also regions such as Europe or India where prices declined, indicating slow or no economic growth.
Another dive into science today in an effort to figure out how this whole motorcycling thing actually works. I am not a scientist. I don't even play one on television. So, I have to really start with the basics in order to understand scientific concepts. Luckily, gyroscopic force is a pretty easy one to explain and understand -- and it's one of the major forces at work keeping motorcycles upright and safe to ride.
With baseball season chugging along and Spring Training in the rearview mirror, it's time to take a look back at the 2 cities that host your favorite teams every year.

This was our final morning, and our departure from BEST WESTERN Hotel Spring House in Rome. We were hoping to get a picture with the staff as we were were leaving, but it was too early in the morning and the employees weren't all there yet - we did include some photos of the property though. I must admit, it was upsetting to have to say goodbye as we had a wonderful trip and the hotel staff did their best to ensure we enjoyed our stay.
SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, Arizona - The thing about being a senior traveler is that we don't like to waste time looking for tourist attractions that sometimes aren't where they're supposed to be. For that reason, a Santa Cruz Tourism Council project entitled "As The Birds Fly South" suits our desirability to the full measure.

On our last full day in Rome, Dallice and I had planned to go to one of Europe's top 10 theme parks "Magicland". Being from California, we have experienced the US theme parks and in our mind we didn't think an Italian park would be too much different. After riding the train to the town of Valmontone. We took the park shuttle bus to the ticketing booth. We paid 70 euros for entry, handed our tickets to the parks staff and walked in.
We know it is a big world out there with lots of places to see and experience.
