Dave Barry on Miami
Published Friday, April 06, 2007 by GrobeTrek.
Filed under: Events Check out this wonderfully hilarious piece by Dave Barry over at the Miami Herald. I have to say, I am not a big fan of Miami, but right now, it is 18 degrees outside her in New York City, and even if Miami is cheesy and doubly so on the day of the Superbowl, I think I wouldn't mind being there right now.

4) Favorite city/country/place: Hmm, tough choice, but I'll have to go with New Orleans. 7) Favorite travel author: If I had to pick one, it would be Bill Bryson -- his travels around Europe in Neither Here Nor There was my first introduction to true travel writing, and I've been hooked ever since.

Filed under: Learning, Events, North America, United States, Hotels Well, it's that time again when deciduous leaves around North America explode with color and hordes of shutterbugs jump in their cars and gawk from their cars as nature's version of Laser Floyd slowly unfolds before them. Of course, those living in places like So.

I have to say I'm rather pleased that Mammoth Mountain got the top spot. I'm a big fan of Mammoth, even if I remain a bit disdainful of the gazillions of skate rats who now roam pell-mell over the mountain dragging their knuckles in the show.
The whole complex at the base of the mountain is amazing.

Vanity Fair on the National Parks
Published Thursday, September 14, 2006 by GrobeTrek.
I read the article a while back and have been meaning to write about it ever since. Don't ask me how I ended up there.
The point of al this is that within the Interior Department lies what is probably the best agency in the federal government: The National Park Service. In general, they do a fine job.

On the River with the Family

Filed under: Hiking, Paddling, North America, United States Tell me if you can't sympathize with Tom Bol. As Kurt Vonnegut might have written: So it goes. So now Tom has a son named Skyler, and as he writes in this wonderful story about tackling a river trip with his family in tow, things can be more complicated, but not necessarily less fun.

The Seattle Times covers an awesome happening this year surrounding the 14,110-foot summit along the eastern slopes of the Rockies known as Pikes Peak in Colorado. As a teen living in Colorado Springs I never gave a whole lot of thought to the beauty or the story behind ole Pikes Peak.

Hotels to Smell Like Pie

A sour-sewage reek whose malodorous molecules still haunt my olfactory cortex to this day. This is all very clever, and those who orchestrated this campaign are obviously aware that they are dealing in primitive grey matter, that it is our olfactory cortex that is the oldest and in some ways most powerful sense.
