With a vibe more like a gracious granny than a savvy entrepreneur, her pitch continues. ''Green is your color,'' she says, holding up a batik shirt she notices matches my eyes. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/travel/weekly_features/story/524656.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/travel/weekly_features/story/524656.html Sun, 11 May 2008 03:01 EDT NIGHT WATCH: LAS VEGAS Las Vegas is teeming with illuminating experiences after dark. Three of the newest options topped my list -- for charisma as much as cocktails. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/travel/story/524651.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/travel/story/524651.html Sun, 11 May 2008 03:01 EDT If you're heading to Theme Park Central this year, get ready to dance, splash and play tug-of-war with a Bengal tiger. But don't expect it to come cheap. http://www.miamiherald.com/817/story/480285.html http://www.miamiherald.com/817/story/480285.html Wed, 02 Apr 2008 15:13 EDT Your guide to sailing the seas http://www.miamiherald.com/817/story/480310.html http://www.miamiherald.com/817/story/480310.html Wed, 02 Apr 2008 15:13 EDT Share your photos of Florida's fame http://www.miamiherald.com/817/story/480319.html http://www.miamiherald.com/817/story/480319.html Wed, 02 Apr 2008 15:13 EDT <a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/382/story/49381.html">Travel tales</a><br/> <a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/382/story/49354.html">Photos</a><br/> <a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/382/story/49368.html">Student stories</a><br/> http://www.miamiherald.com/986/story/530457.html http://www.miamiherald.com/986/story/530457.html Wed, 14 May 2008 03:01 EDT I heard the falls before I saw them -- the rumbling thunder of water that spews from the Garganta del Diablo, or Devil's Throat. By the time I reached the catwalk that took me to the very edge of the world's widest waterfall, I knew that I was looking at one of the planet's most awe-inspiring natural wonders. http://www.miamiherald.com/986/story/527265.html http://www.miamiherald.com/986/story/527265.html Tue, 13 May 2008 03:01 EDT Twelve towns -- from a French colonial village in Missouri to a town on the Florida Panhandle -- have been honored this year by the National Trust for Historic Preservation for their commitment to historic preservation and community revitalization. http://www.miamiherald.com/986/story/527217.html http://www.miamiherald.com/986/story/527217.html Tue, 13 May 2008 03:01 EDT China has done its best to ruin the scenery on the Yangtze River.

A cottage in the English countryside or a flat in Paris, a deluxe Caribbean villa or a house with a pool in Orlando, San Diego, Canada, Colorado, New York City or San Francisco. Take your pick for summer vacation. Price is no concern. It won't cost you a penny -- really. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/travel/spotlight/story/381398.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/travel/spotlight/story/381398.html Mon, 07 Apr 2008 14:17 EDT After five years as a college undergrad in Gainesville, I entered the real world last year with just two regrets -- not squeezing in that sixth fall, and never embarking on that life-altering journey across Europe. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/travel/spotlight/story/453547.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/travel/spotlight/story/453547.html Mon, 07 Apr 2008 13:43 EDT If you're going to Europe this year, travel off-season. That was the lesson from my recent trip to Italy and England. Even at a time when the dollar has hit new lows against the euro -- it's now trading at $1.53 per euro -- prices are manageable if you travel out of season, eat modestly and resist the urge to splurge too often. http://www.miamiherald.com/410/story/417973.html http://www.miamiherald.com/410/story/417973.html Sun, 17 Feb 2008 03:01 EST A dozen years ago, a roommate and I were wasting away another rainy winter night in Seattle when we decided to drive the pickup truck five hours north to Whistler. We left at 10 p.m., pulled into the lot near the lifts and spent a few fitful, freezing hours of semi-sleep in the cab until sunrise. http://www.miamiherald.com/410/story/417977.html http://www.miamiherald.com/410/story/417977.html Sun, 17 Feb 2008 03:01 EST For those of us who took last-minute ski trips on the cheap before we became parents -- sigh! -- it's not easy to get back on the black-diamond slopes. http://www.miamiherald.com/410/story/417991.html http://www.miamiherald.com/410/story/417991.html Sun, 17 Feb 2008 03:01 EST The rap on this small ski area tucked into Vancouver's North Shore Mountains is all about limited (though excellent) terrain, massive humanity and protracted lift lines. http://www.miamiherald.com/981/story/527685.html http://www.miamiherald.com/981/story/527685.html Wed, 14 May 2008 03:01 EDT Book an airline ticket, save the planet. Re-use the towel in your hotel; stop global warming. Rent a hybrid car; reduce our dependence on fossil fuel. http://www.miamiherald.com/981/story/524974.html http://www.miamiherald.com/981/story/524974.html Thu, 08 May 2008 03:01 EDT It's too late to see the great Buddhas of Afghanistan. The prehistoric cave paintings in Lascaux, France, are fading away. Even the Galapagos Islands are changing. http://www.miamiherald.com/981/story/515739.html http://www.miamiherald.com/981/story/515739.html Fri, 02 May 2008 03:01 EDT Arriving at Arcosanti, an experimental eco-city in central Arizona, I was acutely aware of my non-greenness. I had spent the morning expelling carbon on my flight to Phoenix. My rental car was messy with empty soda bottles, a few plastic bags and a banana peel that I didn't plan to mulch. A piece of paper with directions had accidentally escaped through the car window, floating off toward a patch of spiky cactus.
