Inspiring Travel – March Monthly Roundup
While you might be dealing with the continued bad weather (blizzards, monsoons, and earthquakes anyone?), these fantastic travel articles in our monthly roundup will surely provide you a bit of a bright spot and something to look forward to.
| How appropriate to start with a piece from Correr Es Mi Destino about ice fields and icebergs. This article has you hooked from the first sentence: Do you have any idea how loud is the sound of a huge chunk of ice falling into the frozen waters? Check it out.
|
| Byteful travel wrote in to suggest some things to see at the Art Institute of Chicago. A great list of some classic pieces as well as a few more offbeat choices. If you go to Chicago, don’t miss our tips for six amazing Chicago avenues.
|
| A new site to me, the fun folks at Weotta explain why they love Mumbai. With great food, amazing people, and endless inspirational experiences, what’s not to like?
|
| Have Baby Will Travel sent in a fantastic suggestion of checking out Playa Pilar when visiting Cuba. It looks dream and gorgeous. (And in case you missed it, Corinne was one of our recent travel interviews.)
|
| I’m all for offbeat travel, and attending the National Cowboy Poetry gathering certainly qualifies! That photo below? It’s a moustache mug. Enough said.
|
| I’m loving this suggestion from Wanderlust Journey to go hiking in Diamond Head State Park in Oahu, Hawaii. It goes quite well with the other expert recommendations for Hawaii from Pam Mandel.
|
| My good pal Sheila from Why Go Family Travel has spent a lot of time crafting up this fab list of travel podcasts and audio tours. There’s a ton of them – definitely one to file away in your bookmarks for when planning that next trip.
|
| Caribbean Edge gives us a short and snappy review of coffee in the Caribbean. I love coffee so I wasn’t surprised by some of these excellent recommendations. (Though in contrast, you might want to re-read this piece about a good cup of coffee doesn’t make a good cafe.
|
| Becky didn’t want us to miss out the great Chinese parks in and around Kunming. This article is worth visiting just for the wonderful photos. Sounds like the perfect place to spend an entire afternoon. Maybe you can find a bench with a great view?
|
| Abi writes in today with some great suggestions for whale and dolphin watching. Again, fantastic photography!
|
| Jennifer from the Vacation Gals suggest Malibu as a perfect day to spend your vacation while in Southern California. It certainly looks pretty good, and a little more interesting than a ‘typical’ SoCal beach town.
|
| If you find yourself roadtripping anywhere near Benson, Arizona, Kristin has a fantastic suggestion for a good place for you to stop. Have a look – it’s something quite cool.

Hi Andy,
Thanks for including my audio/iPod tours post in this edition of your Carnival; what a diverse lineup you have! By the way, can’t tell you how many times I’ve driven past highway billboards for that last post, “The THING.” Never did pull off and check it out, so now I must go read about it….:)
