A few years ago I started a subscription to the NY Times (Sunday only) so that I could get the Sunday crossword puzzle the week before my local paper ran it.
I love a lazy Sunday morning, sleepy in, a toasty fire, a cup of coffee, some nice music in the background and the NY […]
If the traveler on your gift list is a world traveler, perhaps someone who aspires to the Century Club, they may enjoy the Globetrotter’s Log Book.

Sometimes when I’ve walked up and down the aisle of the airplane for what seems like the hundredth time, I wonder just many miles I log while zooming across the country.
Add in time spent walking through airports, to say nothing of the time walking on the ground, and it all adds up to serious […]
Remember when having a cell phone was a luxury? It’s not any longer, and for travelers it is not only a necessary part of doing business, but also a way of keeping in contact with loved ones.

About a month ago, I […]
It wasn’t all that many years ago that I might have considered sleeping at the airport a routine part of travel. But as financial circumstances change and age becomes a factor, I now consider “roughing it” to be sleeping in a 2-star hotel.
