Pirate Chic and Cocktails! The June issue of Perceptive Travel is up now so go check it out.
Chris Epting returns to give us a rundown on historic places to tip a glass and the birthplaces of the Martini and Mai Tai. Bruce Northam heads to Honduras and feels a kinship with the "pirate chic" style. Luke Armstrong pens his second story for us, with a tale of a drunk backpacker clashing with a drunk revolutionary in Nicaragua.
I spin some tunes for the world music section, moving from England to Gambia to Italy to Guatemala, Havana, and the 'hood. See the current issue page.

New Site Design on the Way Next month when you tune in you'll be looking at a whole new page design for Perceptive Travel. When you hear that from a magazine editor you usually go "uh-oh," but I promise you'll find it cleaner and more contemporary, with no additional annoyances on the ad side. We'll start rolling it out as soon as this week, on the main navigation pages anyway.
