Student travels to Brazil in March 2012

Dr. Travelbest specializes in independent travel. However, we know that this doesn't always work for every traveler. Here's an idea that may be what you need, so consider South America. Want to visit Brazil, but not by yourself? Consider going with a group from National University. March 12-21, 2012 are the dates. Our destination is one of the world’s most interesting countries, Brazil, one of a small number of nations whose economy continues to grow and the site of the upcoming 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.

There are a limited number of seats available. The trip is open to undergraduates, graduates, alumni, faculty and business executives (subject to approval by the Tour Leader).

RIP Dean Alphonso Buell

Celebrating the life of Dean Alphonso Buell in April, 2012 with his mom and two friends. Dr. Travelbest is priviledged to know Raquel Giraldez, mother of the deceased, as she was the designer and illustrator and most travelled friend of Dr. Travelbest in 1993 as the book was being written and published.

There were so many stars that night, we knew that Dean was watching us from above with his new friends.

Milan Italy

In this episode, the FAQ is: How do I manage increasing technology and security for travel? Today’s Destination is: Milan, Italy Today’s Misstep- I almost took a train to Switzerland at the Milan station Travel Advice: Bring a handheld portable fan for the heat. It can be oppressive. FAQ: The level of technology and security has stepped up for travel and entertainment. How do I manage it as a senior citizen in a very busy world? Answer: There is a growing level of distrust in today’s environment. For some venues, you can no longer use a screenshot of a QR code to access a ticket, so it must be a live link if you don’t have the paper ticket. If you are not on Wi-Fi, you may have trouble accessing the venue, like I did in July at the Symphony, where we used handwritten paper tickets. The Crowdstrike tech shutdown of computers in July 2024, with thousands of airline flights canceled, was a peek into what could be an even lo...
