Family skiing at Copper Mountain Resort. Skiing is the best possible family vacation because it is an experience that is shared © 2011 Karen Rubin/news-photos-features.com

Copper Mountain in the Colorado Rockies is not your typical family mountain destination resort. It is hip, rad, happening... Cool.

Even grandpa and grandma look cool, strutting their stuff in their helmets and gear. Skiing and riding down slopes is a great equalizer, after all, an experience of personal challenge and accomplis

I was prepared to be impressed. The innkeeper, E. Scot Fuller, is a chef, so the breakfast part I was quite sure would be outstanding. The Chadwick Bed & Breakfast, located at 140 Chadwick Street in Portland, has it all, and I sensed it the moment I walked into the lovely foyer. To my immediate right was the guest dining room, done in cheery shades of blues and yellow and to my left was a large guest living room, complete with fireplace, plenty of books, movies, DVD's, games and puzzles.

You don't have to travel far on Route 72 from the busy north-south roads near Florida's Gulf Coast before you are in a comparative wilderness. Just north is Sarasota, best known for its connection to John Ringling and for being the "capital" of the American circus. To the south is Ft. Myers, best known a

All the tall claims of all other airlines I have travelled earlier in are only publicity stunts and they have less to offer in terms of comfort and safety, though they are miles ahead in their way of treating customers.
