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.

Perfect quote, Ed, and so true.

New York Travel Writers Association's new prez, Denise Mattia, pulled a great quote out of her hat at last night's meeting: “In times of change, learners inherit the earth while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.”

I'm doing an article on spa food. I have recipes from spas worldwide, but in the process of updating this information as my publisher want's it to feature more dishes and jpgs.

I need to tell a little about the spa, location, etc. and then feature the recipe and a jpg.

If you would like to send one or two dishes from your spa menu, please send tomdhill@noralyn.com and put Spa Recipes in the subject line. It is fine to include the philosophy of the spa and a couple of photos.

This publication is seen by ove 1.5 million per month. The radio interview will have between 25,000 to 75,000--it varies.

Thanks in advance.

Why Holiday Travel Makes You Dumb

It's a harsh land. Crippling drought, then floods. Not simply climate change, just what this lands has always done most probably.

Long, thin, greeny-grey - several people identified it - all different. It's amazing how people are snake experts. Don't know what it was. The whole country is tough at the moment isn't it? We had to forfeit a stop and concert in Bathurst because of floods and the train was diverted south through Bowral, Cootamundra and then up to Broken Hill.
