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. While serving in the U.S. Army in Europe in the 1950s, he got the travel bug, came out with a travel guide for servicemen, and followed up in 1957 with…

What do you wear to Seven Magic Mountains?

Seven Magic Mountains is an art installation located in the Nevada desert, and the weather can be quite hot and dry. Therefore, it is recommended to wear comfortable and breathable clothing, such as shorts, t-shirts, and sandals or sneakers. You may also want to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. It's also a good idea to bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated. While there is no strict dress code, it's important to dress appropriately for the weather and…

Wink, thanks for telling me about the Wine Pantry. Your article was very good.
Sam Scribe July 25, 2012 at 4:57pm

Useful story, David, so I'll save that link. And Wink, your story is a revelation.
Wink Lorch July 25, 2012 at 10:39am

Very nice piece David! Also next to Borough Market, which you mentioned is the tiny store - The Wine Pantry - stocking only English wines, some very good ones too, with at least 20 open to try. Have also written a piece with the Olympics in mind on visiting English vineyards not far from London. http://www.wanderingeducators.com/travel-guides/wine-travel-guides/...

For the Olympics, I posted a foodie-guide for London: http://www.menwholiketotravel.com/2012/05/where-to-eat-in-london.html

Lots of great places to eat. Some affordable, some a splurge, but all are a lot of fun from Borough Market to the Roux and the Landau in the Langham Hotel.

This is very traditional: all girls. No boys allowed. Unless you're one of the parade of dead priests who have guided the community over the last 120 years. It is a bit much to take in after last night and running on three hours' sleep. I almost got giddy discussing how their habits have changed.

The room is starting to weave and now I'm supposed to go out on electric bike. If you don't hear from me again, you know it ended in tears.

"Convent" doesn't necessarily mean a community of women religious; it could be men.
Allan Lynch July 14, 2012 at 9:13pm

To further confuse you, I'm about to go tour a convent. Hey, they give me an itinerary and I do it.

A valid question, although what really intrigues me is your comment about the missing hangover. How do you do that?

Okay, why would I like something on facebook? Two completely different reasons: (1) because I genuinely like the product, i.e. Tripatini and Buckettripper, and/or (2) I like the person who asked me to like the product, so I do this as a favor to him/her. Neither of these may move you to click over to FB right this minute and like a couple dozen pages, but for what it's worth, those are my motivations. That, and the fact that when you've "liked" your 100th fb page, Mark Z. mails you an Aston Martin.
