A tribute to my friend, the late travel media icon Arthur Frommer
The legendary U.S. travel journalist and entrepreneur Arthur Frommer passed away November 18 at the age of 95. Born in Virginia and with an early boyhood in a small town in Missouri, Arthur was a lawyer who became a pioneering and great travel journalist, and who will be remembered as having helped open the joys of travel to the masses.

I love books that tell a great story but I want to learn something at the same time. I knew that since Tripaptin member Linda Ballou was a travel writer that I would learn about Hawaii but what I didn't realize is that she is a beautiful writer.
