Featured Writer: Travels With Curley “I loved the night hike,” were the first words out of my four-year old’s mouth early one morning at the Lodge at Pico Bonito in Honduras. Before he said good morning and before I even knew that he was awake, Finnegan was still talking about the previous night. We spent our first day at Pico Bonito…

My Business Travel Resolution

Featured Writer: Travels with Curley I rarely have to travel for work, but it doesn’t’ stop me from complaining and dreading the few times a year that I have to board a flight for business. As much as I love traveling for personal reasons, my dislike of business travel is equally as intense. Perhaps it’s because I miss these guys…

Featured Writer: Travels with Curley When I was a kid, the two most exotic sounding places to me were Timbuktu and Tasmania.

We were only there for a long weekend, but would love to return again for a longer trip. There is a lot to…

Featured Writer: Travels with Curley Known as the “Grand Canyon of the East,” we had very high hopes for our visit to Letchworth State Park in Upstate NY over Labor Day Weekend. Jennifer and I have both visited the Grand Canyon in Arizona, but separately, and had very different experiences. Jennifer did it right: she and a couple of friends…
