Kentucky: The 15th State

Today is Admission Day for Kentucky, the 15th state, admitted to the Union on June 1st, 1792.
The first time I was in Kentucky, I thought I was in Ohio.
If you’ve been to the Cincinnati airport (airport code CVG), you know what I’m talking about. The Cincinnati airport, which I foolishly believed was in Cincinnati, Ohio […]

Go By GoCar

I’ve toured a city by car, bus, train, moped, bicycle, motorcycle, scooter, and on foot.  Each mode of touring offers different options and varying perspectives on a city.

Reading Update

I’ve updated my reading list, so be sure to check it out.
I talked with a passenger who was reading this biography, and since, I too, am a big fan, had to pick it up (from my public library) and read it as well.

The Books That Keep a Traveler Company

I’ve written many times about my love of books and reading, along with my regular use of my local public library. Most travelers have a book tucked away in a purse, backpack, or carry on bag, and I’m no exception. A book has been excellent company while sitting on an airplane, lounging by a […]
