		<title>Turks and Caicos: For the Anti-Social Beach Bum</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A number of times on our vacation last month in Turks and Caicos, we looked around the beach, and saw no one. Really, no one. Just some crabs, and some birds, but that&#8217;s it.
We embarked on this vacation with Thoreauesque goals: not so much transcendentalism or  civil disobedience, but just to get the heck away [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hidden Treasures &#8211; Three Books About Living, Eating, and Traveling Green</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Living and traveling green doesn’t take great personal sacrifice, but not all of us know how to get started without giving up our habits and routines. “Green” may be a popular trend, but you don’t have to buy expensive “earth friendly” products, eat strictly vegan, or stop going places and retreat to a secluded cabin [...]]]></description>

		<title>Abaco Libros y Cafe in Colombia &#8211; an Article in Publishers Weekly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Where do bookstore workers always go when they&#8217;re on vacation? Other bookstores. So when the owners of The Globe Corner Bookstore attended The Hay Literary Festival in Cartageña de Indias, Colombia, Pat Carrier visited Ábaco Libros y Café. He was lucky enough to chat with an owner there and write an article about it for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Late Bloomer -or- DC&#8217;s Cherry Blossom Festival</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My first years in Washington, DC, I was skeptical about all the cherry blossom hoopla that swirls around our nation&#8217;s capital every spring. We had a cherry tree back home in Ohio, and for the two days its sparse blossoms clung to the knotted limbs, it looked as if a rather pathetic spring had sprung. [...]]]></description>

		<title>90-Day Geisha by Chelsea Haywood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was surprised to learn that a young Western woman with little to no knowledge of the language and no special skills can find a well-paying job in Tokyo. No, it’s not in the industry you might have just thought of. It requires the looks of a model, the personality of a friendly bartender, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Mid-Ecuadorian Coast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently traveled to Ecuador with a friend&#8230;and went without a plan.  We decided against one of the more traditional Ecuadorian travel destinations, with saddened hearts, but happy wallets &#8211; the Galapagos was just not a budget travel destination.  We decided instead to do an Amazon trek followed by some coastal R&#38;R.  I think I [...]]]></description>

		<title>2010 Hay Festival Cartageña De Indias</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have definitely traded the New England chills for the baking sun of Cartageña. Attending Hay Festival Cartageña events last year was a bit of unexpected good fortune as our days in Cartagena coincided with the start of the festival. Sessions of the international literary event at the Teatro Heredia &#8211; with its gold ornamentation, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Like a Pea in a Pod</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whenever I search for budget accommodations in New York City, I am constantly shocked at the prices. Recently The Pod Hotel in Midtown Manhattan started popping up as a possibility, but I always rejected it. The name kind of scared me and I was just a bit hesitant. For my latest short jaunt to The [...]]]></description>
