Niagara Falls on $26 a Day
Blog: Hole In The Donut - 2 October 2011
I spend most of each year overseas in developing countries where the cost of living is a fraction what it is in the United States. Each return to the States requires a period of adjustment. This time, I almost choked when I had to pay $75 a night for a hotel room in Minneapolis. That [...]

Living Close to the Land in the Adirondack Mountains
Blog: Hole In The Donut - 30 September 2011
After two weeks in the Adirondacks of upstate New York I began to learn more about the culture of the area. Though the Adirondack Mountains are ancient, the human history within them is relatively young. It is unusual to meet second generation residents and third generation families are a rarity, so it was a privilege [...]

An Oasis of Serenity in Adirondack Park
Blog: Hole In The Donut - 26 September 2011
A cocoon of ethereal fog enveloped me as I walked to the end of the dock on Piseco Lake. The hush of dawn was interrupted by the gentle splish-splash of a solitary man walking languidly through calf-high water, far out into the lake. In the distance a white wolf-dog stood motionless in water up to [...]

The Legend of Queen Anne’s Lace
Blog: Hole In The Donut - 12 September 2011
On my final day in the northeast corner of Adirondack Park, I walked across the street to Point au Roche State Park, bound for a narrow point that juts out into Lake Champlain. Hot, humid breezes blew thick grey thunderheads overhead and birds flitted back and forth, as if panicked by the approaching storm. I [...]

An Adirondack Water Wonderland
Blog: Hole In The Donut - 11 September 2011
The weather-rounded mountains of upstate New York undulate between hundreds of lakes that dot Adirondack Park like an enormous sea serpent. Anchoring its dusky blue-black tail on the horizon, the creature dips its shimmering green coils into one cobalt pool of water after another as it slithers down the mountains. I followed its serpentine route [...]

Keeping Adirondack Park Forever Wild is a Delicate Balancing Act
Blog: Hole In The Donut - 28 August 2011
From the view deck at Adirondack Museum, Blue Mountain Lake sparkled like a dazzling sapphire surrounded by emerald forests. I contemplated the distant dusky blue mountains and tried grasp that every bit of the vista spread before me had at one time been covered by a shallow inland sea. The Adirondack Mountains began to take [...]

Adirondack Park – Land of No Locks
Blog: Hole In The Donut - 22 August 2011
I swung the door wide and surveyed the rustic room that would be my home for the next three days. Rich leaf green walls topped pine wainscoting and a red and black checked quilt was deftly tucked into the sides of the heavy wooden cradle bed. Anxious to dive in for a late afternoon nap, [...]

Lake and Lodge in the Adirondacks
Blog: Vermont's Insider Guide to Kid Friendly Fun - 28 July 2011
Lake Placid, NY is less than 2 hours from Burlington via ferry. This summer we stayed at the Mirror Lake Inn Resort for two nights. This resort has wonderful Adirondack charm and is set on the edge of one of the prettiest lakes in upstate New York. The inn first opened in 1924 and is rich in [...]

What You See When You're Lost in NYC
Blog: Uncommontravel - 16 August 2010
I’ve done it before, mastered them. I’ve traveled beneath the earth’s surface in Hong Kong, Paris, Rome, other places. Just have to make that clear, you know. Mitigating circumstances for finding myself in NYC for a day and needing to remaster the subway because of my annoying habit of forgetting basic things. So here I am looking at the hole in the bustling sidewalk like it’s the one Alice fell down. Dare I? I mean, once you step into it can you change your mind, turn around, resurface?

76-Second Travel Show: ‘America’s best beach’
Blog: Lonely Planet blog - 8 June 2010
MICRO-GUIDE TO SOUTHAMPTON, NY For many New Yorkers, the Hamptons — out at the acceptable end of Long Island — looms like a flashback from Lisa Birnbach’s 1980 spoof ‘The Official Preppy Handbook.’ A playground of neighboring community with long white-sand beaches and tucked-away beach homes for CEOs, celebs and trust-fund kids. But despite all this [...]

Blog: Lonely Planet blog - 18 May 2010
New York’s Long Island is usually visited for Brooklyn and Queens (at its western tip) or the fancy beach resorts at the Hamptons (out east). But what about the middle, in those neither-here-nor-there towns off the Long Island Expressway? The best way to find out what’s there is using the area’s best guidebook: the songs [...]

Photo Friday: A Family Travel Adventure in Flushing, New York
Blog: Ciao Bambino! - 7 May 2010
My family loves adventures and food. That combination has brought us to fine dining establishments in the best of neighborhoods and fragrant shacks in the worst of neighborhoods. But, what it always brings is something unexpected, especially when you are bringing four kids along. That’s the perfect description for our recent treasure hunt for dumplings in Flushing, New York.

Lady in Brooklyn
Blog: A Lady in London - 16 April 2010
After a week of family fun and culinary indulgence in San Francisco, I took my moveable feast to New York to visit my cousin in Brooklyn. She and I went to Brown together but haven't seen much of each other since then, so I thought it would be fun to stop by for the weekend on my way back to London.
