Modern and antique vacation experiences
This article talks about a multi-sports Yellowstone family vacation that includes off-road biking, hiking, horseback riding, rock climbing, and white water rafting. Sounds pretty cool to me.
These destinations also sound cool although one of them has been buried in volcanic ash for over 1900 years. And I thought talking about grandparents' travel habits was going back in time...
And it turns out that Staycations were not as popular as many people thought they would be this summer. I suppose I paid too much attention to the hype as well.
That article does argue that the travel industry is hurting a bit - but that does not mean everyone is staying home...
Finally, I'm thinking of starting a new thing where with each blog entry I point out an old one. Today I happen to be wondering what happened to Bobby Fischer who I wrote about back in February, 2005. Did he get out of jail? Did he get his new passport from Finland (apparently the 3 year old link on that old blog entry is no longer good)?
