We feel an important part of traveling is about learning. When we visit historical sites we are often blown away by the current impact of events and names from 100+ years ago.  What is the coolest strangest thing you have learned from your travels lately? Here is...

Our Civil War battlefields tour was a success in all aspects. Rain of two of the four days failed to dampen our enthusiasm but was sufficient to cause me to rate the experience a "4" instead of a "5". The new friends we hadn’t yet...

My son and I had the pleasure of participating in the lower Yough in late May. The staff from arrival to completion were friendly and eager to assist with every aspect of our visit. The orientation session prior to embarking was educational, informative and entertaining...
