Liechtenstein: Big Adventures in One of the World’s Smallest Nations
It’s the first time I’ve taken a city bus to a whole other country. Winding high into the Alps, most of the journey took place on a train, crossing the breadth of Austria, then climbing into the snow-capped peaks in Switzerland.

America’s Ultimate Drive: New York to Los Angeles
It’s one of America’s most storied drives, and greatest road traditions, traveling from Atlantic to Pacific, between the country’s two largest cities.

Fall Into the Porkies: Camping in Michigan’s Wilderness
The sunset smolders to embers on the horizon and a mild wind pushes waves off Lake Superior into shore where we sit watching the light show finish up and the stars take over. The temperature will dip toward 50 or lower tonight, but the fall air is more invigorating than biting, and a good meal…
A 75th Birthday Hike With Smokey Bear
People are funny about birthdays. Some like to ignore them completely, others crave a big celebration, while others (whether they like it or not) have them sprung on them by surprise. For many years a critical part of my birthday observance has required hiking in nature. It has offered a chance to observe, take stock…
Stones of All Kinds Make Visits Sparkle
Vacationing in Arkansas, Nancy Meyers and Kathy Smith stop at a museum to admire a 5-foot-tall quartz crystal called “the Holy Grail.” Bill and Betty Price and their two young daughters sift through a pile of dirt in western Maine looking for gemstones. During a visit to Kentucky to celebrate his wife Evelyn’s 40th birthday,…
Ancient Churches a Draw for Visitors to Rural England
The thought of exploring the ancient churches scattered across small villages and hamlets in the 100-square-mile Romney Marsh in Kent, a history-rich county in southeastern England, was alluring enough to bring me across the pond. Admittedly, church touring seems like an uncommon vacation, but it’s a relatively popular English pastime that seems to be right…
