With Winter thrills still bountiful and Spring in our hearts, we bring you the best of both worlds.
If you enjoy Spring skiing as much as Matthew Graham and Karen Carra do, you are going to love reading VIVA VAIL in our Young World section.
Here’s an excerpt we found really entertaining, “The five of us wound our way down a long, long trail called Sleepy Time into the China Bowl—a vast ocean of whiteness on the back side of the mountain. There were numerous marked trails in the bowl. It was incredible— pure open skiing!!! And a large part of the fun was due to the fact that I LOVED THE DYNASTARS! After searching for a new pair of skis for three years, I finally found them. They were fast, yet easy to turn. I felt as though I was floating above the snow. I lost count of how many times we zoomed down the bowl before we headed to yet another section of the mountain called Blue Sky Basin. It was the complete opposite of the bowl. Here the trails slalomed through thick pine trees. On one slope, Big Rock Park, the trail dropped into a gulley. You had to keep up your speed or get stuck. And yes, one of our group, Jan, got stuck. She had to remove her skis and climb out.”
FALL IN LOVE WITH SPAIN’S ANDALUSIA by Sandy Katz takes us into another realm seeking sunshine in the warmest region of Europe. We also learn that “Andalusia is the “mother” of the Spanish folklore which is probably best known abroad: here you will live the magic of flamenco and bullfighting in their most authentic style, and myths like Don Juan and Carmen were born here.”
Something is heating up in the kitchen even as we travel beyond our neighborhood. Merle Exit takes us on a culinary foray in Santa Barbara, California with ON THE EAT BEAT IN SANTA BARBARA. Most chefs’ recipes are highly guarded secrets, but after a visit to the local market and a cooking lesson, French-born chef Laurence Hauben serves up a five-course feast AND
shares recipes for everything on the menu. Now you can try making Warm Lobster Salad with Rocky Canyon Bacon on a Bed of Spicy Greens with Lime Chipotle Cream (see the article.)
If you want to visit New Orleans for a first or repeat visit, NEW ORLEANS ON THE REBOUND
will be sure to whet your appetite for the city known as “The Big Easy.” As Sandy Katz reveals
in her article, “New Orleans is still one of the most exciting cities in the world with its seductive charm. It’s truly a melting pot of peoples and cultures, where diversity is not merely recognized but celebrated. Out of this eclectic blend of French, Spanish and African influences came jazz, Cajun cooking and Mardi Gras.”

Book lovers on the lookout for a unique topic, PamelaAnn Campbell has found a perfect match, THE ONE SHOE DIARIES. “This coffee table book by Randy Hamilton features 24 single shoes: flip flops, sandals and boots left behind on highways, streets, beaches, shores, near dunes, in a canyon and parking lots, even on the edge of a cliff, all across nine states in America!” The author journals places visited, some of them so off-beat we’ve never heard of them. It also makes a great gift for the travel enthusiast on your list!
As always, have fun, excitement and adventure wherever you go.
