Aug 19, 2013 | Contributor: Stefanie PayneEvery once and awhile you have the desire to stay at a hotel with a succeeding reputation. The world famous ICEHOTEL in northern Sweden is just one of those places, a hotel composed almost entirely of ice. It’s worth the jaunt too, to the Lapland Wilderness north of the Arctic Circle. From the moment we arrived by snowmobile, the encounters were otherworldly. At the original Ice Bar, the Champagne arrived on ice, literally. The suite I stayed in, Beam Me Up!, was a forest of icy evergreens, flying saucers and light beams — perfect for a professional space geek. ... Read More |

Yeah, we thought so; but did you know that in 1876 Alexander Graham Bell’s first phone call was made in the city from his machine shop? We put together a list of some wicked facts about Beantown. As the wise NBC network once said, “The more you know…”... Read More | 
Aug 2, 2013 | Contributor: Susan Kime | 1 CommentMy neighbor, in her seventies, has been an inveterate traveler all her life. When I told her I was going to Norway she said, “Well, take things to eat from home. All you will get there is underdone fishy fish, covered in cream sauces.” I said I would heed her advice and take (as usual on my travels) some protein bars, pumpkin seeds and a large bottle of antacid tablets....
