Day One, Blog Two

Looking forward to an upcoming trip to Cartagena, Columbia.  It will be my first trip to South America and it is a place so rich in history.  From what I am told, Cartagena was once the port of Columbia that exported so much of the silver and gold discovered and mined in South America.  Due to the labor intensive work, Cartagena developed a culture of slavery.  It is reported that, as a result of this past, Cartagena has a culture that is similar to the type of culture typically seen in an Caribbean island destination.

Of course,  since I have never been to Cartagena, I am only speaking from what I have gleaned from talking to those who have lived in or visited Cartagena.  Nevertheless, this history and culture are, in large part, the reason that I am very interested in seeing Cartagena.

We will be traveling as a group and enjoying the culture, historic sites and entertainment of this charming destination.

Blog Day One

Well I'm new to the world of blogging, but I do want to connect and share.  So here goes.

This is a blog about different locations of the world.  It is meant to be share among those who enjoy travel and experiencing different cultures.  I hope this will be an interactive place.

It is hoped we can discuss our favorite places and what makes them so special.  Also, I would like to establish this as a place where future group travels can be suggested and planned by those who share similar interests in travel.  Why can't golfers, wine tasters or jazz lovers meet up in various places around the world to share their passion?  So let this be the place to chat, discuss what's going on in the world that would be of interest to those who enjoy travel, and make some tracks.
