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…

Wonder what sort of snake it was. The Australian bush is a pretty tough place.

Great trip. We stooped in the Outback and Aboriginal clans from Maralinga and south came in to see Santa. We were crowding around and i felt something slither across my foot (thongs on too) and just thought it was a lizard. The behind me one of the teachers calmly said: "I've been bitten by a snake". And she had - there was a 'Flying' doctor on board and she was shipped to Port Augusta - couple of hours away and last heard she was ok. Much drama and the media couldn't stop talking about it. The snake went from about 40cm to two metres long! City folk!

Did the snake attack you, Bev? Glad you made it back in one piece!

Travel Features, I first skied Keystone when I was a child. Back then it was so much a family resort that my dad, a strong skier, was bored there. But as I grew, so did Keystone. Now there are back mountains and back trails and bowls enough for any skier. My dad was bored, but I'm not.
