  3. Plan for space vacation not so crazy after all

    SAN JOSE, Calif. — I'm a practical person (my kids would call me cheap), so when I read about Cathy Culver's plan to pay $200,000 for about a two-hour flight into outer space, I figured she must be very rich or very nuts.

  7. Castaways on Fiji: Notes from the Coral Kingdom

    QUALITO ISLAND, Fiji — We were dozing on the sand at the edge of the bluest lagoon I'd ever seen when suddenly I remembered. The snorkel trip. Grabbing our masks we rushed to the dive shack, catching the skiff as it was pulling out for the ride to the far side of the lagoon.

  8. Want to hear a good story? Check out Georgia's Azalea Storytelling Festival

    LAGRANGE, Ga. — Once upon a time in a village called LaGrange in a kingdom called Georgia, there was a storytelling festival named after a beautiful flower called an azalea.

  10. What sets a cruise ship apart? Unique spaces

    "Make your memory your travel bag," Russian novelist Alexander Solshenitzen once recommended. And making memories at sea is easy, particularly on ships that feature special spaces where passengers can not only enjoy the ambiance, but can actually also do something memorable there. It might be a place where passengers can take a cooking class on dishes of countries they are sailing to, a restaurant where they can prepare their own meal, a water coaster that propels them over the ocean, or simply a garden where they can stop to smell the flowers.

  12. Tour Washington state's historic Fort Vancouver by lantern light

    VANCOUVER, Wash. &#8212; It was a December night, around the mid-1800s from the look of it, in a cozy candlelit parlor. I was eavesdropping on a teatime conversation between James Douglas, Fort Vancouver's bow-tied chief trader, and Narcissa Whitman, another famed pioneer of the era. The topic: "country marriages."
