Thailand-to-Malaysia Singles Sailing Adventure

 Ko Hong. "hong" being the word for "sea cave". The entrance to these hongs is usually a well-hidden little crevice in the cliff-face; a narrow tunnel opening up into an awe-inspiring oasis on the interior.

Phuket to Langkawi

Thailand. All the ingredients one could ever ask from a tropical sailing vacation... stunningly beautiful scenery, a multitude of uncrowded anchorages; underwater wonderlands of coral and multicolored fish; fun nightlife if you want it.


sail Langkawi

Lama is a title for a teacher of the Dharma in Tibetan Buddhism

Prevailing wind conditions, one of the greatest things about being on a sailboat is the flexibility to change our minds and our route to suit personal preferences. No two trips are ever exactly the same. The start and finish points are fixed, of course but all else is changeable according to the whims of the wind gods and those on board !

This is an example of a popular itinerary on our Thailand-to-Malaysia trips


Day One 

Morning rendezvous in Phuket. Then sail time arrives where we will head north - to the wonderful "seascapes" of Phang-Nga bay! The entrance to these hongs is usually a well-hidden little crevice in the cliff-face; a narrow tunnel opening up into an awe-inspiring oasis on the interior. The limestone formations are so sheer and gravity-defying

Our destination for the evening is Ko Hong. Happy hour with the best pina coladas in the Andaman! - followed by our very own Thai chefs' gourmet dinner on board; an amazing array of tongue-tingling dishes

Day Two

We're heading south on a relaxed morning sail. We'll see more impossibly-balanced rocks, cliffs & islands. The delight today will be another hong to explore en route, paddling through a dramatic, mangrove-lined stream which winds its way inside a huge crevice in the island.

With sheer, palm-covered mountains rising vertically from the ocean, it's a well-known spot for those who like to scare themselves silly scaling these cliffs.  At the famous Railey Beach, near Krabi,  is where we'll anchor.

Dinner ashore!

Railey Beach


Day Three

Not a "tourist destination" - it's a place that the locals visit to pay their respects to the monk community there. This place is not as overtly dramatic and ornate as some of the more well-known: what attracts us is it's deeply spiritual, calm Buddhist ambiance.

Welcome to Tiger Cave and Temple , a 30 minute minibus ride inland.

 You will find a shady hike through an enormous and ancient forest.

There is a whole lot more to discover on this 11 day trip!

8 Day Italian Cooking Class Vacations IN Sicily, Italy


Cooking in Sicily vacations

FOR Singles & Friends


The Greek, Roman, Arabs, Normans, Spanish and British – all in some way left their mark and in modern day Sicilian cooking it is very evident. "Discovering Sicilian cookery is like discovering Sicilian history".

The cooking courses are based at the enchanting Villa Sicily. It is 8 days and 7 nights booked on a private estate that dates back to 1848 with luxurious bedrooms. All modern with views of either the sea or of the Sicilian countryside. 

Imagine waking up to clear blue skies each morning with breakfast served to you outside while you gaze dreamily upon the the sea.

For your pleasure you will find an outdoor pool surrounded by almond and olive trees, with a terrace where you can relax and enjoy the soft breeze coming in off of the sea.

Any age, grownups too, love sledding. There is nothing like the exhilaration of racing down a hill, wind blowing in your face and laughing with your children. Going back to the top of the hill to make the run again is even adventurous! Hot chocolate afterwards seals the memory and makes it somehow all unique.


What's a winter wonderland without snow skiing?

Sierra at Tahoe has 2,000 ski able acres with five terrain parks and a TransWorld Top 10 Super Pipe. Sierra at Tahoe's 46 trails offer both the skier and snowboarders lots of space to maneuver.

Besides skiing and snowboarding, Sierra at Tahoe also offers three miles of snowshoeing trails and tubing at Blizzard Mountain.

Then on the last night at twilight time, maybe go on a sleigh ride, or perhaps after breakfast.
