Travel Stories
No, it wasn’t my journey, but two of my friends completed it last June and I knew their story needed to be told.
Time to show my friend from Seattle the best face of western PA in high summer: riding the tree-lined GAP trail and country roads up to Flight 93
The past week I’ve been helping a friend plan a bike trip through Maine and it’s sent me down the wormhole of wonderful memories from one magical trip there.
On September 6-7 we rode from Pittsburgh to the Flight 93 Memorial along the Great Allegheny Passage trail.
Everything they say about New York City at Christmas is true. And yes, those Bergdorf Goodman windows are stunning.
A weekend in snowy Paris should be carefree and romantic, until you have to drag your frozen luggage across the city by yourself.
The wonderment of the first sights of Paris and the magical delight of a Friday night snowfall.
Rather than spending another dreary wintery birthday in Seattle, I chose to spend it in Paris, and yes it is as great as they say.
The clouds finally lifted in Darjeeling and we glimpsed Kanchenjunga rising above the hills. This was enough to get our blood moving to head out on a 5-day trek in the middle of winter to see more of the Himalayas.
