The project I am working on is how to showcase the diversity of the US to a friend (who usually hates long-distance flights) on h... Read More

I’ve been wanting to visit the Tetons and Yellowstone parks for a long time but hotel prices have kept me away. Adding to the woes are high rental car and fuel prices now. It’d be cheaper to go to Europe! Is there anywhere to stay for around $150/night in late September? Even in shoulder season, a Super 8 type place is $300/night. I eve... Read More

So with that, here are the (still... Read More
