The Miami Beach Kizomba Festival (MBKF) marks its 5th year of bringing people together from across the globe to celebrate African culture, music and dance.
Kizomba is a slow, sensual dance and musical genre originating in Angola in 1984, a more modern music genre mixed with African rhythm and usually sung in Portuguese. Kizomba means “party” in Kimbundu, and that is just what you are going to get at this festival.
Not to mention outstanding workshops, world-class dance instruction and lessons, unforgettable music concerts, live musicians and performing artists, superstar DJ’s and sunrise beach parties, night parties, and pool parties.
MBKF takes place at the iconic Eden Roc Hotel, August 22-27, with live performances by Yola Semedo and Jennifer Dias. You can choose between a Party Pass, Weekend Pass or Full pass. If you like dancing, join the celebration at the Miami Beach Kizomba Festival, a great atmosphere of people from all over the world partying all night under one roof.

Why not stay at a hotel that has embraces a piece of Southern history – Inn at Mulberry Grove. Mulberry Grove was the name of the plantation where Eli Whitney arrived as a tutor for widow Mrs. Nathaniel Greene’s children. Her hubby was 2nd in command to Washington, and had been given The Mulberry Grove Plantation as a gift from the spoils of the Revolutionary War.
Whitney was no average tutor. A Yale graduate, he tinkered with inventions, and recognized the need to speed up the process of separating cotton seeds from cotton fibers. He gained worldwide recognition for inventing the cotton gin, which revolutionized the South’s cotton industry. During the Civil War, General Sherman burned down Greene’s original house, but now you can stay in this Inn on the same land.
There’s a touch of European elegance here, with gilded mirrors and dark wood furnishings. The hot breakfast with sausage, biscuits, grits and waffles can be taken in the courtyard. There’s a guest laundry, and it’s budget friendly.

The Hotel Bayerischer Hof was opened in 1841 because King Ludwig I wished to have a comfortable place for his guests to stay. (What – no extra rooms in his gi-normous palace?). Today it is still a gorgeous 5-star hotel, but we think the best places are on the roof and in the basement.
Palais Keller, situated in the old salt cellar from the Middle Ages, is an inexpensive but delicious place to dine on traditional Bavarian food. Go down the stone steps to this bustling restaurant with waitresses sporting frilly aprons, carrying big mugs of Lowenbrau beer and wearing big smiles. The folkloric atmosphere only adds to the taste of the veal in cream sauce with spaetzle, potato salad, sauerkraut, bread dumplings, weiswursts and cheese wursts, along with pretzels with mustard.
After you’ve dined head for the roof, to the Blue Spa Bar & Lounge. Have a drink in the sky and take in the birds-eye view of all of Munich before you.
In 1897 Herrmann Volkhardt bought the hotel, and today Innegrit Volkhardt, the fourth generation, is the General Manager. It was bombed in WWII; Falk Volkhardt, the son of Hermann made an amazing discovery under the ruins of the destroyed hotel – the Spiegelsaal (Mirror Hall) had survived almost intact. In October 1945, this was where he opened the first restaurant in the centre of Munich after the war.

The first included meal in the Cosmos: Prague Vienna Budapest tour was an entree into the hearty meals to come. It started off with a beef broth with thin noodles and small tidbits of beef.
The main course was roasted pork in a flavorful beer gravy with a side of red cabbage and bread “dumplings”. These were new to most of the travelers. Rather than a round doughy ball which we expected, these were more like slices of rye bread sitting in the gravy – so easy to lap it up.
Dessert was a light tiramisu served in a tumbler. Good start!

If your ears cannot cope with the movement of ships and therefore you cannot comfortably go on a cruise, there is an answer for you which removes the debilitating bouts of motion sickness.
The Sun Cruise Resort and Yacht in Jeongdongjin, S. Korea, is the first “cruise” which remains on terra firma. It is really a cruise themed resort. All guests are wrapped in the luxury of a cruise liner including all the trappings of a ship. The cruise ship shaped hotel sits high on a cliff, perhaps set there by a rogue wave.
When you board, expect wooden paneled sloping rooms which have porthole windows to view the sea. The sound of crashing waves is piped through speakers to give you the feel of an ocean going experience. You can experience the salt water by swimming in their sea-water pool. Don’t miss having a drink in the revolving bar which offers up spectacular sunrises.
You only get the services of a concierge if you stay at upscale properties. What sets the W Hotel Scottsdale (London, Barcelona, Hollywood, CA) apart is that they also have an “insider”. If you want to get into the coolest club or can’t get a reservation at Elements, or tickets for the Giants, or into a designer’s workshop, this woman knows everyone who knows everyone and makes it happen.
Unusual too, for W hotels, this one has a floor with 2-bedroom apartments for longer stays. In these extreme WOW suites, there’s a kitchen and laundry, 2 1/2 bathrooms and a 239 sq’ deck with views of Camelback Mountain.
