Roswell, New Mexico, For UFO Excitement by Bonnie Neely The now famous UFO crash site of 1947 has become the International Research Center and UFO Museum. Go for the fun of it! The museum, located in an old movie theater on Main Street, is open daily from 9 - 5 and attacts visitors from all over the world. Admission is free, and you are encouraged to take photos and use your video camera. You'll find some very simplistic displays, movie sets, photographs, and drawings of every kind of unnatural or inexplicable occurrence you have ever heard of, from aliens to crop circles.

The Picturesque Land of Plenty by Patty Burness, Photos by

Bo Links As you make plans for a weekend getaway, keep this in mind: Carmel and Monterey are a quick two hour drive south of San Francisco. For those with an appetite for some of the best wine tasting and gastronomic treasures around, it's time to get going. Recently, my husband and I made the trip - staying in unique properties and enjoying the verdant region with its knock-out views.Read More

HOTEL HOBNOBBING WITH HIGH-LEVEL DIPLOMATS By Stephen W. Ayers For hotel managers, the days are busy and generally fly by with nary a nod. Yet occasionally the regular routine may give way to the extraordinary! During my time as general manager of the David Citadel Hotel in Jerusalem, I was fortunate enough through the years to experience the extraordinary when welcoming several dignitaries and high-level diplomats to the hotel. While the prime minister of Israel, the president of Israel, members of the Knesset and numerous celebrities and public figures were almost daily visitors, none of the visits stand out in my memory more than those of Read More...

Return to Zapotec Roots by Alvin Starkman Gloria Morales Pérez spent most of her life in Anaheim, California, living what for many Mexican immigrants is the American dream - hard work resulting in a lifestyle that included going to the show and out for Chinese food on weekends, taking the children to Disneyland as well as spending the occasional evening in a Latin nightclub. But on September 23, 2010, the 25-year-old Zapotec native returned home to the tiny municipality of San Bartolomé Quialana, Tlacolula, in the southern Mexico state of Oaxaca. Gloria shed her blue jeans for customary regional garb of colorful satin dress and brightly embroidered apron, left her two California jobs Read More...

Philadelphia for the Mature Traveler by Ron Kapon "Here lies W. C. Fields. I would rather be living in Philadelphia." This was an epitaph Fields proposed for himself in a 1925 article in Vanity Fair. It refers to his long standing jokes about Philadelphia (his actual birthplace), and the grave being one place he might actually not prefer to be. This is often repeated as "On the whole, I'd rather be in Philadelphia." It has also sometimes been distorted into a final dig at Philadelphia: "Last week, I went to Philadelphia, but it was closed." William Penn founded the city in 1682 and named it Philadelphia, which is Greek for “brotherly love.” On the whole I really enjoyed my trip there, and when I visited, the city was open! Read More...

Nancy's Secret Garden By Fyllis Hockman The beautiful parrots were bantering back and forth; giant palms obscured light from above; large leaf exotic plants obstructed the path. I felt like a Lilliputian in a land of overlapping green giants, each one poised to grab me should I dare to slow down a bit to gawk. Yet the diversity and unfamiliarity of the plants and trees make it hard not to gape. The only question remained: How did this tropical rainforest end up in Nancy Forrester's backyard in Key West, Florida? Read More

Wined and Wild in Monterey County by Emma Krasov & Yuri Krasov Planning a weekend retreat in Monterey County,CA, I couldn’t imagine how many discoveries were waiting at every turn of the road. Sunday was a prime time to taste some wine along the gorgeous Carmel Valley Road (www.montereywines.org), and the drive itself was a treat. Chateau Julien Wine Estate in Mid-Valley is a real chateau with castle towers Read More...

Big Bear Lake Offers Winter Snow Adventures by Carmel Mooney One of California's best places for snow much fun is Big Bear Lake, California. We love it more each time we go. There's so much to do once you arrive on “Big Bear time.” Even though Big Bear has some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the state, with virtually no lines, the pinnacle of our most recent trip was a 8 wheel drive off road adventure. It was more than spectacular to experience the back country of the San Bernardino mountains from a heavy duty off-road vehicle. Our tour ...Read More...

Santa Fe: Old and New Traditions by Terry Zinn Anytime you hear the word Santa Fe, it has to conjure up images. And if you have visited there, it must illicit emotions and memories as well. At this time of the year it’s easy to slip into the mode of recalling pleasant memories. My first visit to Santa Fe was in the late 1970s, when I was breaking in a new car and exploring the great American West.
