On the second day of our Cross-Country Rail trip, we boarded the California Zephyr in Chicago and set out for one of the most scenic rail experiences in America. But before we arrived in the Windy City, we awoke to the Indiana landscape, with three remaining hours on the Capitol […]
As I write this post, the Outer Banks of North Carolina are being pummeled by Hurricane Irene. All those beautiful places we visited as a family just a few short weeks ago are in danger of being damaged or swept away. It is likely that the landscape will shift and […]
Amtrak has a US Rail Pass starting at $459 per adult that allows 8 segments (boarding or disembarking) over 15 days. That’s enough to get you across the USA and back. I’ve been wanting to get the feel of traveling by train, but for years I’ve heard it’s as expensive […]
Our last Travel Hag Adventure was July 23rd when 15 hags and their hag-men met the outfitters where the Transquaking River is crossed by Drawbridge Road. Travel hags came from the Eastern Shore, Washington DC and Pennsylvania. About half those who met had little or no kayaking experience and most […]
Old Salty’s is a popular destination restaurant in lower Dorchester County housed in a renovated old school building. I didn’t know it was rumored to be haunted until I ran into an employee at an event in Cambridge. The employee said it was haunted and that he’d had a few […]
The Travel Hags will meet on Saturday, August 6, 2011 at the Drawbridge Road Crossing of the Transquaking River near Cambridge, MD. From there, outfitters from Blackwater Paddle and Peddle will launch fifteen to twenty women (and maybe a few men) in kayaks down the Transquaking River for a leisurely […]
The Outer Banks of the North Carolina Atlantic Coast – aka OBX – has a draw to it. There’s a palpable sense of place. The term OBX conjures up images of seaside cottages with porches and Adirondack Chairs, lighthouses, pirates and summer vacations. The book cover of Anne Rivers Siddons’ […]
We have a Travel Hag Adventure planned for July 23rd to paddle the Transquaking River in Lower Dorchester County near Blackwater Wildlife Refuge. A canal has been cut to connect two sections of the river making a five mile loop convenient for paddlers. Since we have a few beginners on […]
On a hot, sunny weekend in June, travel hags from Maryland and Delaware came together for a weekend of fun camping out in Janes Island State Park in Crisifeld, Maryland. We hitched up the r-pod camper to go the few short miles to Janes Island which is located at the […]
Newgrange passage tomb in the Boyne Valley – County Meath, Ireland is the oldest, fully in-tact building in Ireland, and probably in western Europe. According to Mary Gibbons who offers excellent tours of Newgrange, the tomb dates back 5000 years, predating the pyramids of Egypt, Stonehenge and all the other […]
Croagh Patrick is one of the “must see” destinations in Ireland and has been known as a “thin place” or site of sacred power for thousands of years. Plan to spend at least half a day. The mountain that dominates the landscape in Westport, Achill, and Murrisk, is also known […]
During the various layovers at airports today, Dan Burgoyne and I planned out our first day in Ireland. We plan to take a drive around Lough Corrib then past the Maamturk Mountains and take in the unique light of Connemara. Like Paris, the light in this region has inspired artists […]
