Hmm, I don’t know how practical such a beautiful trash bag would be for a van full of small children, but it’s a nice invention, by Finny Knits. It’s a little handmade fabric trash bag for your vehicle. It’s perfect for traveling.
We use… well, right now, we don’t use anything for trash. The kids [...]
At the dinner table this evening, I was asking the children (I have four, ranging in ages from 11 to 18) what they liked best about traveling. I was thinking of writing a blog article about how to travel with kids. But as we talked about our experiences over our baked ziti and bread and [...]
Ah, the world of “virtual” travel. Where would I be without it. Lol, probably in the same place as I am right now– at my desk.
I love travel carnivals. Here’s a huge one– the biggest I’ve ever seen– at Travel on a Shoestring. This blog is going in my travel blog list! I’ve visited it [...]
I came across a lovely blog about Greece, while surfing Entrecards the other day. It’s Greece Travelled. It looks like it’s off to a beautiful start! The posts are light but informative. I love the photos– more photos, please! It hasn’t been updated since March 5th, so here’s hoping the author keeps it up. It’s [...]
I’ve found some unique blogs recently, even some New York State blogs! I wonder which state of the United States has the most active bloggers. New York State must be up near the top ten, perhaps even the top five. I find a lot of New York blogs (most of them are from the city [...]
Found an interesting little video from 1937, about RV’ing. The statistics are amazing, if true. One million Americans RV’ed in the 30s? What really blew me away was that a week’s parking in a lot was $1, and electricity 25 cents! I can imagine how affordable gasoline was then, too.
John Steinbeck did something very [...]
I read an article yesterday at Washingtonpost.com exposing the plight of travelers during airline checks; in particular, business travelers.
Maria Udy, a marketing executive with a global travel management firm in Bethesda, said her company laptop was seized by a federal agent as she was flying from Dulles International Airport to London in December 2006. [...]
I am thrilled to announce that I finally figured out how to host my very own personal google map. And not only that, I figured out how to specially design a page template for it. It’s a pretty big map, and I needed a big place to keep it. Wanna see what it looks like? [...]

I have two travel blogs. One is a blogspot blog, called New York Traveler. I started it up almost two years ago, to use a personal journal and as an entertaining travelogue for readers who love to read about travel experiences as much as I. I have been surprised at its success, for something that [...]
There’s a mildly entertaining (and slightly scary) post I found, called 8 Things Travelers Should Expect in 2008. It holds no bars and gives us the down and out ugly. Increased gasoline and airlines prices, longer lines, more fees and taxes (no surprise to us in New York), and more gridlock. And the nonsense pushed [...]
Mr. T was our gracious tour guide when we visited the FX Matt Brewery in Utica, NY. We got to chat a little bit about travel, and he asked me if I knew of any good attractions in Dallas, TX, where he would soon be vacationing. At the moment, I drew a blank (more like [...]
