I’m throwing caution to the wind here, say I’ve got an extra ten thousand dollars just burning a hole in my pocket. I could do what a sane minded person would do and say, pay bills, invest it, put it in savings maybe even donate it to one of my favorite charities. But all those are, boring! I want to live a little, have some fun, take risks after all you can’t win if you don’t play right? Here are my top five ideas for blowing $10,000.
11 years ago, someone in DC said, "Hey, spies are awesome, let's tell their secrets." On that day, they were probably murdered. Someone else decided to quietly open the International Spy Museum.
In the ancient Phrygian city of Hierapolis, a group of archaeologists recently discovered what they believe to be Pluto’s Gate, a celebrated and infamous portal into the underworld of Greco-Roman mythology that was once believed to be, quite literally, one of the gates into the depths of hell.
What better way to spend a summer weekend than doing a little offshore muff diving in the Chesapeake Bay?

Jules Verne took readers around the world in 80 days, but you really need more time to savor the sites.
For well-traveled souls who’ve seen one too many European cathedrals in their lifetime, it can be easy to dismiss them as old news.

Once upon a time, the rulers of China, especially the Ming Dynasty emperors, decided to build a very big and very long wall, in order to keep the Manchurian and Mongolian raiders at bay. Maybe you’ve heard of this “Great Wall of China?” It’s kind of well known.
Honestly, all 265 acres of Hyrum State Park in Cache County, UT is worth a visit. If you're looking for adventure though, you'll pack a tarp and head to the dam.
Every year it's been the same routine, I'm running around getting everything ready to go on a summer vacation. This time I decided to put together a 'Preparing for Summer Vacation' checklist. I'm always forgetting something, my razor, an mp3 recorder, sunglasses, camera, medicines and even a spare tire (yes, a spare tire). Several years ago I took my spare tire in to have it checked prior to vacation. I forgot to go pick it up before leaving town, can you guess what happened on I-45 just outside of Houston? Four hours and several hundred dollars later we were back on the road again. So here's my list I hope it helps.
Here’s a surprise to no one: people in Hawaii are feeling better than anywhere else in the country.
