Travel: 3 places to visit this spring
It’s not too late to book a trip this spring, especially during the shoulder season after Easter.
Travel: Postcard from France’s Dordogne
The Dordogne might just be the best-kept secret in France. The region, historically known as Perigord, is located in the southwest, not far from Bordeaux and its universally known wine country.
Travel: Postcard from Paris
Like most cities in the Old World, Paris is best discovered by foot. Between all the museums, grand parks and iconic landmarks to say nothing of the omnipresent sidewalk cafes, it’s easy to walk 10 miles on any given day without much effort.
Travel: Postcard from Canon City, Colorado
Quite a few out-of-towners spend time in Canon City, but not for the right reasons.
Travel: Postcard from Cottonwood, Arizona
Forget Sedona, which in recent years has become openly hostile to tourists, and instead plan a trip to nearby Cottonwood.
Travel: 3 overlooked places to visit this winter
Forget a beach vacation this winter. Instead, plan a trip to one of the following three places.
Travel: Postcard from Quebec City
With Christmas rapidly approaching, now is the time to visit Quebec City.
Travel: Postcard from Victoria, Kansas
If there is one place in Kansas that looks and feels like somewhere in Europe then this is the place.
Travel: Postcard from Golden, Colorado
I’m in an old mining town located where Colorado’s plains meet the mountains. As the iconic arch that spans Washington Avenue — the main street in all but name — proclaims, this is also “where the West lives.”
Travel: Postcard from Fort Benton, Montana
The westward expansion that Lewis and Clark ignited would put Fort Benton on the map. The trappers, traders and pioneers who followed over the ensuing decades made it the birthplace of Montana.
Travel: This fall, visit these 3 overlooked places
As summer ends and fall begins, this column looks at three destinations to visit.
Travel: Postcard from Durham
This historic city in the northeast of England seems overshadowed by Canterbury and York with their archiepiscopal sees or Edinburgh farther to the north in Scotland.
Travel: Postcard from Uppsala, Sweden
This college town about 43 miles from the Swedish capital of Stockholm is more than just a day trip destination. My visit to Uppsala came earlier this month before 50,000 students returned for classes at the 546-year-old Uppsala University, the oldest university in Scandinavia.
Travel: Postcard from Sault Ste. Marie
Like other places previously featured in this column, Sault Ste. Marie is off-the-beaten-path.
Travel: Postcard from the middle of nowhere
This has to be Montana’s best-kept secret. I’m in Fort Peck, a tiny community that owes its existence to the Army Corps of Engineers and a reservoir or man-made lake of the same name, in northeastern Montana.
