Longwood Gardens in 'Spring Has Sprung & U.S. Gardens Await Discovery'

Spring is here, and summer's already around the corner!  If you’re a flower gardener - and the National Gardening Association estimates that members of over a third of U.S. households are - you already may have begun to till soil and plant seeds. And those who like to travel as well as garden (as well as those who enjoy gardens more by watching than working), now is time to plan a trip to take in some of Mother Nature’s bountiful beauty. Gardens come in a variety of types, sizes and offerings.…

Deerfield Retreat & Spa in the Pocono Mountains

Admittedly, I'd never heard of Lo-Wei, a unique exercise class that combines yoga, strength training and flexibility that stretched my body in ways my mind never thought possible. But it is only one of almost three dozen fitness classes, all part of the dawn-to-dusk workout, weight loss, and education focus of the one-of-a-kind, all-inclusive Deerfield Health Retreat and Spa in East Stroudsburg, in the Poconos Mountains of Pennsylvania, where my friend Kathy and I spent three nights a while…

Kinzua Sky Walk cited in 'In the USA this Fall, Combine Foliage with Adventure'

Dan and Mary Stroudt oooh and aaah at the multicolored scenery below the hot air balloon in which they’re riding. The journey is very different for Mark and Marylee Sutherland as they help to paddle a rubber raft along a stretch of whitewater in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Betsy Goodman and Tom Cross are traveling at a slower pace, strolling across a glass-bottom observation deck. These disparate experiences may seem to have little in common, but they do. They provide…

    Swimming season is NOT over in the Northeast, at least not at the resort with the largest water park -- and much of it is indoors, too -- in Pennsylvania, a state that has multiple pull-out-all-the-stops water parks. Travel Daddy explains it all.9012391455?profile=original

    Darryl, we buy all our flammable liquids in New York City.

  • Darryl Musick November 5, 2012 at 6:45pm

    Yeah, I thought Utah was bad until I got to PA.  Luckily, most places we've been to in PA have been close enough so we could make a run to the border for some more liberalized sales.

    Yup, that's the olde Quaker heritage. It was worse when I was a kid. My family used to go to Pennsylvania on Sundays, and you could not buy beer in that state on the sabbath, so my father would bring a beer from NY, stick it in the stream by the restaurant where we ate, and then BYOB into the restaurant.
