    ByEileen Ogintz May 6, 2012July 17, 2021

    Discovering the beauty of the California Coastal region

    ByEileen Ogintz May 3, 2012July 9, 2021

    During our five-mile hike, we see plump yellow banana slugs, the tiny Calypso orchid and blooming trillium, a member of the lily family.

    ByEileen Ogintz May 2, 2012July 16, 2021

    I meet a lot of families who thought they’d be able to travel without texting, tweeting, Instagramming, and Facebooking while abroad, but are shocked to see what an international roaming phone bill looks like when they get back to the states.

    Eating your way through a destination city

    ByEileen Ogintz April 27, 2012July 17, 2021

    A prominent food magazine editor wrote recently about traveling to a far flung destination just for a great meal. I guess that’s a more common practice among foodies than you might think. I can relate.

    Lots of places to rediscover your inner Titantic

    ByEileen Ogintz April 26, 2012July 10, 2021

    Getting out of the bubble while on vacation
