Learning the art of Italian cooking in Bologna
Features, February 2010 issue
We know about preparing pasta dishes, but there’s much more to Italian cooking than pasta, so we started researching cooking classes in Bologna, considered by many the culinary capital of Italy. ...
Pinching pennies in Paris
Features, January 2010 issue
On our most recent trip to Paris, in May ’09, my husband, David, and I decided to put to the test all the articles we had read about free things to do in the city. We had never found Paris to be particularly easy on the wallet, and on this trip we were really pinching pennies. ...
Sri Lanka — Surprising and a bit surreal
Features, December 2009 issue
by Teresa O’Kane, San Jose, CA Sri Lanka is a place like no other. That’s what the marketing posters say, and why not state the obvious? But if I were in charge of marketing for Sri Lanka, my slogan would be, “Feel in the mood to drop down the rabbit hole? Come to Sri Lanka, where ...
Making the most of three days in Hong Kong
Features, October 2009 issue
Many travelers to Asia find themselves with a layover in Hong Kong, a thriving metropolis of seven million people where East collides with West. Reclaimed by China in 1997 but still a melting pot of international commerce, Hong Kong is awash in gleaming highrises and blinking neon signs touting some of the biggest names in business. ...

This small section of the country contains nine of the 151 Most Beautiful Villages of France, as designated by the association Les Plus Beaux Villages de France.

Features, August 2009 issue
by Debi Shank, ITN French Polynesia: the mere mention of the name conjures up images of turquoise waters, tropical breezes and long, lazy days spent adjusting a chaise lounge in an attempt to obtain the perfect tan. But is that all French Polynesia has to offer? I was invited to find out for myself on a ...
Inca ruins and animal encounters in Ecuador
Features, July 2009 issue
Ecuador is a fascinating country of varied topography and climates. In the space of two hours, one can go from high volcanic mountains to lush jungle vegetation with winding rivers. And then, of course, there is the famous bird habitat of the Galápagos Islands. ...
Bushwalking in Australia
Features, June 2009 issue
Twice a year I visit Australia to update information for my US travel agency. My midyear trips coincide with fall and early winter Down Under, and I find this is the best season for hiking — or, as the Aussies prefer to say, bushwalking. The Australian bush is full of colorful and sometimes noisy birds, flowers that bloom throughout the year and forests that range from moist jungle to dry-land savannah, all surrounded by scenery reminiscent of America’s Appalachian Mountains. ...
Getting an introduction to the specialized crafts of Ghana
Features, May 2009 issue
So why choose Ghana instead of one of Africa’s other more spectacular destinations? For us, though we hoped to get a traveler’s overview of the country, the choice was more personal. Our daughter, Tammi Martin, and her husband, Chris, serve as Peace Corps Volunteers there, and we would be accompanying them on their first chance to familiarize themselves with the country outside of their village on the Afram Plains. ...
Japan — Shining light on Shikoku
Boarding Pass, April 2009 issue
While Shikoku is the smallest of Japan’s four main islands — tucked under the largest island, Honshu, and to the right of the southernmost, Kyushu — it promises big surprises, as I learned on a visit Oct. 13-18, 2008. ...
