Where to go to be in the know...about travel

Here are some suggested Santa Fe attractions for families.

Thinking about a family trip to the Southwest? If you have grade-school children, hustle to your nearest book store (or the Internet) for a copy of Arizona Way Out West & Wacky.

Massachusett’s Bay’s harbors offer refuge to a host of commercial fishing trawlers as well as private boats. Among them, Scituate Harbor stands out as an historic contributor to the area’s past and an example of a town’s ability to keep up with progress while maintaining its small-town flavor.
If you are looking for something to do when you are in the NYC area, consider walking the South Street Seaport. You don’t need to make plans ahead of time nor do you need dinner reservations. Just show up and you can stop in at one of the restaurants on Pier 17. Or stop for a drink at an outdoor cafe and enjoy people watching like they do in Paris.
