I have to admit when I first learned that the only airline that flew direct from Las Vegas, NV to Austin, TX was Southwest, I was a bit concerned. After all, in the past the airline’s reputation had been less than stellar. The reviews from friends and family were mixed; some had literally sworn never ...

After two wonderful weeks in Seward, Alaska, it was time to move on. We had a fantastic time, but were ready to take on the big city. Of course, the term “big city” is relative in Alaska. Anchorage is, by far, Alaska’s largest metro area, holding nearly half of the state’s population. In a state ...

Our Alaska cruise ended in Seward, and we were surprised how many people hopped on the early train to Anchorage to catch a flight home. If you invest the time and money in getting to Alaska, why spend only a week? Dad and I are full-time travelers, so we decided to spend an indefinite period ...

That doesn’t mean that places less written or talked ...

Let’s face it. Financially, times continue to be tough right now for many of us. No one feels the squeeze of economic hardship more than my family and I. What with the move to an expensive urban area, three rapidly-growing boys and two dogs to feed, sometimes a big expensive family vacation just isn’t in ...

We like going to the beach in San Diego. It’s not that there’s a lack of beaches in our hometown of Los Angeles, but somehow San Diego’s feel is, well, more beachy. And possibly more pool worthy, too. We like both the calm bay side waters and soft sandy beach right outside the rooms at ...

Port Townsend Washington is a delightful small town a short ferry ride from Seattle. Surrounded by lavender farms and produce-rich fields, and close to one entrance of Cascades National Park, this historic waterfront community is a charming place to spend a weekend with the kids. The ferry ride itself is a lot of fun, leaving just ...

Trinidad, California is a really small town, and I do mean small, on California‘s northern Humboldt County Coast. How small is it? Actually, with less than three hundred residents it’s the smallest incorporated city in California as well as one of the oldest, and thanks to the curving shore line here, one of the furthest ...
