Topic: Travel Tips From the Bonamasses?

I was talking to a friend the other day about Bogie leaving Joe's band, and the conversation turned to how hard it must be to live on the road, touring constantly, year after year. Bogie had his fill, but after 20 years Joe shows no signs of letting up (fortunately). Which made me think, I'll bet he has a lot of little nuggets of diamonds in the rough, places in the states and around the world that left a mark on him, that have been oases on his travels that he has returned to again and again. I'd love to hear some of those secrets!

But alas, I'm sure he's too busy making music to ever put together a travelogue. So then I thought, he has fans spread out all over the world, too, who collectively know about lots of out-of-the-way special places.

So how about it, Bonamaniacs? Do you have any travel secrets? Local attractions unspoiled by tourism, or superb hotels, eateries or pubs?

Re: Travel Tips From the Bonamasses?

The only comment I can make is that, Joe Is A Machine!! cool

Unless of course, my suspicions are correct and there are two Joe Bonamassa's. Funny though, they both lost 60 pounds at the same time! Must be one of those time warp, worm hole situations. wink

P.S. Actually, regarding superb hotels, last year a couple of weeks before RAH, my wife and I took the kids to a very nice resort in Cancun on the Riviera Maya. It's called the "Gran Caribe Real Resort & Spa in Cancun. It is an all inclusive 5 star resort and we really had a wonderful time there. Funny though, at the same time we were there, right next door at the sister diamond resort was this lovely English lady with her equally lovely friend and believe it or not, I knew her from this forum! smile  So it was the first time we met and then a couple of weeks later, we again met at the RAH show and after-party. What a small world, hey? cool
