A Land as Old as Time Itself
No land fires the imagination quite like the land of the pharaohs. Like all of us, I watched The Ten Commandments with Yul Brenner and Charlton Heston clashing as Ramesses and Moses against the backdrop of Egypt’s monumental might. I ached to go to Egypt. It was the number one destination in the...
Central America: In the Glow of the Golden Plates
“ . . . an allure incomparable with any place in the world.” Though all countries and climes of the earth are wonderful to visit, there are some places around the globe I never tire of visiting. I have never stepped off the plane in Central America, took a breath of mountain or jungle air and...
Every Face Tells a Story When You Travel
Cruising the Greek Islands can create memories for a lifetime. A few years ago while cruising with a group of tourists through the Greek Islands, I had an experience that will stay in my memories for ever. During our free time to explore the island of Rhodes, Carol Tyndall discovered an ancient,...
Hidden Jewel of Creation
I always knew it was there, the last continent, the end of the earth, the final destination for the exploring soul of man, and I wanted to see it, but I was not prepared for the experience. For me visiting Antarctica was the opportunity of putting another pin on the map, of finally reaching every...
Destination: Vancouver
It was once a land where only the brave dared go and the hearty dared live. Now, with a tamed but still robust existence next to sea and mountains, visitors can enjoy adventure of any kind in Vancouver. Over the past century, Vancouver has become a thriving metropolis that has managed to maintain...
Touring the Holy Land
"Was it wonderful?" "Were you frightened?" These are the two questions my wife and I have been asked since returning from Israel. We traveled there in the late spring of 2006 with a tour group and visited many of the sites named in the Old and New Testaments. We walked the streets and hills where Jesus walked, as many before us have done.

Dublin
After helping the Saints in Liverpool, England, Elder John Taylor traveled across the Irish Sea to Newry to spread the gospel and help recent English converts who had moved to Ireland.

Hong Kong
Hong Kong is the only city in the world that can boast such a truly dynamic fusion of East and West. In culture, religion, and even politics, this geographic kaleidoscope blends the tradition of the past with the hope of the future and what results is a land pulsing with personality. When the first...
Munich, Germany
With the air of a capital city about it, Munich draws visitors from around the globe. Students love to study here; people from around the world love to live here, and writers, painters, and musicians come here for inspiration. Munich resonates big city flair yet rural charm, traditional customs yet a high tech aura. It’s this "Munich mix" that allows the Bavarian capital to remain so intriguing.
Yucatan Peninsula
One of the richest archaelogical zones in the ancient Meso-American world, the Yucatan beckons visitors to stroll along a quiet, white beach, swim in a clear cavern, or stand dwarfed by one of the vast pyramids of an ancient culture. The unique luxuries of the ocean and the adventures found on shore have brought people from all around the world to experience the culture of the Mayan.
Toronto, Canada
Known as the melting pot of Canada, Toronto is famous for its welcoming spirit. Some of the Church’s earliest missionaries such as Parley Pratt, Oliver Cowdrey, and Joseph Smith felt this spirit as they introduced their neighbors to the gospel in its earliest days. Many of the Canadians who heard that message would later become great leaders in the Church. Since that time the city has continued to open its heart to all people of the world and by doing so has become a lively and thriving city known not only for its scenic beauty but also the beauty of its people.
