King of the Reef: This Strip of 'Land' is Royally Isolated

If you were to ask a random person on the street where the Hawaiian Islands are, there's a pretty good chance most people would be able to give you a fairly accurate answer. Ask about American Samoa or French Polynesia, and you'll most likely get a mixed bag of people who vaguely know where either of those are and a good deal of others who will be left scratching their heads. If you really want to stump someone, however, ask them about this isolated reef.

The Annual Fan Festival in Washington State That's Keeping Twin Peaks Alive

The lives of cultural objects — books, films, TV shows — can take funny paths sometimes. In some cases, as with the recent blockbuster film Black Panther, they are loved instantly.

As I get older and as hindsight continues to provide me with 20/20 vision, I find this ability comes more and more naturally to me. And that's why I have no problem admitting to you that my first attempt at solo travel was not exactly a success.

This Independent Ann Arbor Bookstore is the Best Thing Since Sliced Bread

Situated on the corner of East Washington Street and South 4th Avenue, smack dab in downtown Ann Arbor, or A2, as we insiders like to call it (I really hope you rolled your eyes just now), Literati opened on March 31, 2013, and its owners, Hilary and Michael Gustafson, are firm believers in the "whimsy that an independent bookstore provides."

The Best Travel Advice I've Stumbled Upon in 2018

Not too long ago, I was telling you all about a handful of travel websites that I often turn to when looking for inspiration, advice, travel deals, or all of the above. We were focusing on the forest then, but right here, right now, I want to hone in on some of the trees in that proverbial forest and deliver to you some of the best travel advice I've found on the Great Wide Web during this calendar year.

Meandering Around Music City; or, Three Days in Nashville: Day 3

Meandering Around Music City; or, Three Days in Nashville: Day 2

I awoke Saturday morning and was pleasantly surprised to discover that I hadn't died during the previous evening's shenanigans. Looking around, however, I did notice the yellow mustard stain on my pants, which had been hastily discarded on the floor some eight hours earlier.
