 Special Travel Offer for Baby Boomers
Since I have started writing this column, I have been contacted by several friends who have become regular readers. They tell me how much they enjoy learning about fun places to travel to and they say they really appreciate having a preview of where to stay and what to do. In fact, they tell me the only thing that would make it better is if someone would just plan the whole thing for them.

 As the alarm rings its intrusive greeting, you open one eye and look at the clock — the numbers confirm that it’s time to start the day. There are many things to be said for the comfort of a daily routine, but what if you could start off your morning in a very non-typical way?
You could watch the sun rise before anyone else in America can see it, or make your first cup of morning coffee one of Seattle’s finest offerings.

Birth of Abraham Lincoln200th Anniversary
 “I don't know who my grandfather was; I am much more concerned to know what his grandson will be.” —Abraham Lincoln
A one-room log cabin in the Illinois wilderness is an unlikely beginning for one of the greatest presidents of the United States. But the birth of Abraham Lincoln was a fortunate day for America — this man would grow to lead the nation through its own Civil War, ending slavery and successfully keeping the Union together.

Though he failed in his original mission, Hudson’s exploration of what we now know as the Hudson River and Hudson Bay proved invaluable to the future of trade and community in the New World.
