During the summer of 2017, the Michael W Travels family went on a five week trip around the Pacific.
During the trip, my family visited five island nations; Tonga, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Samoa, and Vanuatu (plus American Samoa). In addition, I went on my own to spend 9.5 hours on Christmas Island, Kiribati.
When thinking about amazing natural sites, the one that always comes to mind is our experience in Samoa. Continue reading An Amazing Natural Site: The To-Sua Ocean Trench, Samoa
The late Anthony Bourdain has inspired many around the world to make food a big part of their travels.
While planning to visit new places, I look for ideas where to eat based on places featured on Food/ Travel shows. Places recommended by Anthony Bourdain tend to just about always be really good.
On the New Jersey episode of Parts Unknown (which aired back in 2015), Bourdain visited Hiram’s Roadstand in Fort Lee. Since seeing the episode, I’ve wanted to visit. Continue reading A Stop On The Anthony Bourdain Food Trail: Hiram’s Roadstand

When visiting an international destination, I always make it a point to visit McDonald’s.
Besides being a real treat for my kids, I love seeing what interesting (and sometimes local) menu items might be offered.
I’ve also been to some very interesting looking McDonald’s. A couple that stand out is one with Maori cavings in New Zealand and another in Pennsylvania which has a train car attached to it! Continue reading Bad News: Unique McDonald’s Times Square Closing For Good
I’m hoping to take a short road trip for a few days in the middle of the week. The main options we are looking into is either New Jersey or Connecticut. Exotic, right?
Over the weekend we visited a new park to do some light hiking. The most exciting part of the day was visiting a new place on the Anthony Bourdain Food Trail!
