    Fall is a fine time to take the kids and family to see Colorado’s beauty

    ByEileen Ogintz September 5, 2013July 15, 2021

    Memories of a special birthday and hotel stay in Rome

    ByEileen Ogintz September 1, 2013June 28, 2023

    With one night to stay in Rome, I didn’t want a hotel that was just a place to sleep. I didn’t want a hotel that was just convenient to the train station. I wanted a hotel that would be part of the experience. That’s why I chose the Grand Hotel de la Minerve that was a few steps from the Pantheon and a short walk to the Forum and Coliseum.

    Nantucket Island is a great fall getaway destination when the crowds are gone

    ByEileen Ogintz August 29, 2013July 10, 2021

    Thirty miles off the coast of Massachusetts, Nantucket is as famous for its more than 30 miles of bike trails around the island — you see adults and kids with bikes everywhere — as for its 80 miles of spectacular beaches.

    Universal Hollywood through the eyes an 11-year-old

    ByEileen Ogintz August 26, 2013July 8, 2021

    If you go to Universal Studios in Hollywood, do like we did and get a Front of the Line pass, also referred to as a “Gate A” pass. These passes are really cool because they helped us to save time because it lets you skip to the front of the line for anything in the park. With the pass, we also had reserved seating at the shows like WaterWorld (a really cool action-packed stunt show with people on motorboats and JetSki’s.

    ByEileen Ogintz August 25, 2013July 15, 2021

    Fly fishing near Aspen — it’s about the fishing not the catching

    ByEileen Ogintz August 23, 2013July 15, 2021

    “It’s about the experience,” says our guide Trevor Clapper from the Little Nell Adventure Shop, which offers trips that end in Basalt, about 20 miles downriver. Clapper says of everything people want to do in the summer or fall when they come to Aspen—off road jeep tours, guided hiking trips, white river rafting—fly fishing is the most popular.
