Travel Stories

In which we see Rock and Roll past.... We awoke early Friday because our goal was to hit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame right as it opens. Fortunately, we had a wonderful night’s rest. Max even thought the couch was so comfortable he didn’t even need the folding cot the Wyndham had provided for us.

Adventure TravelingMom, Fran Capo in the second part of her series on chasing tornadoes with George Karounis from the History Channel's "Gates of Hell," and Charles Edwards of Cloud 9 Tours, ventures into the eye of the storm and gets pelted by hail.

My family is always up for a road trip, and fortunately we live in an area where we can get to some of the country’s greatest locations – Philadelphia, Boston, New York City, Washington DC – in a car ride. Since there’s so much to see and do here on the east coast, we never really thought about heading west. Well, that is, until our son asked to go to Cleveland.

The reason for my airline rage: No cookies! So the flight attendant who lost it and “de-planed” in a delirious fit is getting lots of press these days, all because of his unique version of road (or in this case, air) rage. I get it.

I haven't gotten to do much traveling this year. It kind of bums me out and makes the "free spirit" in me feel a little tame lame. You can imagine my excitement when I hit the ultimate travel jackpot! I won (2) tickets to the awesome Lilith 2010 tour (formerly known as Lilith Fair).

To borrow the book title of then-First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, It Takes a Village. Never more did this term make sense for me than when I started working with artisans in developing countries. For them, it really DOES take a village both on their end and our end!
