Something about it being Labor Day and this huge crashing waterfall just felt right together. Caffeineguy took this one while wandering around South America somewhere. Brazil? Argentina? Not entirely sure, but it looks as if he was rather close to the waterfall’s edge. Oh, and I can just hear the loud crashing sound from the falls. That’s how alive this photo is! Good stuff.
Tiny Island Calling Your Name
I’m always on the lookout for small, remote islands cut off from the rest of the world. Our planet has thousands of them, but not every one is hospitable and worth visiting.
The ideal island, in my book, has empty beaches, few tourists, great food and no major cities. An additional plus is the absence of cars.
Thanks to Evan Halper of the LA Times, I now have another to add to my list.
Boipeba Island is located off the coast of Brazil and is blessed with all the necessary island attributes listed above. Halper snorkeled, strolled along empty beaches, slept in $45 a night bungalows, lounged in hammocks, hiked, ate $7 lobster dinners, and sipped coconut juice.
In short, he had a busy time doing nothing. That’s my kinda place!

One of the best trips I’ve ever taken was a long, long trek up the coast of

Junky Travel Sites for Travel Junkies
Junky is the kind of word I’m attracted to, partially because there aren’t too many bad habits I have that are hard to kick. But it’s the type of word when paired with those like travel and vacation becomes highly desired by all and everyone. Example: “He’s such a travel junky. From Omaha to Havana, Cuba, there isn’t a place in between he hasn’t been.” Yeah, travel junkies are a cool breed of folk, so it’s not surprising there are sites like this cuba-junky.com place for those with an insatiable interest in Cuba to head to and start planning their vaca. Check out the impressive photo galleries or basically anything you’d like to know about Cuba here.
Other travel-junky sites include: Dominican Republic, Brazil and Jamaica. I’d say they’re pretty gnarly and worth ten minutes of your time if not more, but I’m a travel junky myself so there you have it!
Hello, Hi, my name is Adrienne and I HEART travel to everywhere, anywhere and yes of course there too. I’m a travel junky. Goodbye.
Pology – June Issue
Should you be having an easy going kind of Saturday evening with nothing on your agenda except doing the laundry and viewing a few World Cup games you may also wish to swing by Pology online. We’ve mentioned it before here at Gadling, but the June issue is so darn good I felt the need to give it a plug once more. I usually head over to get the latest in culture topics around the planet, but today I was only there for the eye candy. Start with Thailand in pictures where you’ll find women in hill tribes playing on laptops and a smiling toothless Thai woman. It may sound odd here, but you’ll need to see it for yourself. I haven’t seen such a beautiful well-rounded batch of photos from the area in a long while. That alone makes it worth the visit.
