BNT adds new editor, Ian fades into the shadows.
Years ago, I wrote a short story called “The Attic.” I had been reading too much Stephen King at the time, reflected in the subject matter of my own character (a homicidal maniac who kept forgetting his crimes).
But while the story is, sadly, forgettable, I still believe the theory I explored is sound.
Williamsburg, Virginia is a great place to take the whole family due to several things. Those reasons being Busch Gardens Amusement Park, Colonial Williamsburg, and the neighboring historic towns of Jamestown and Yorktown. This is where America was born over 200 years ago after the Revolutionary War.
Now, every child loves amusement parks especially for the rides. Busch Gardens of Williamsburg has been nominated the world’s “most beautiful theme park” for 17 straight years. There are over 50 exhilarating rides to go on with one being called “Griffon”. It is the world’s tallest floorless dive coaster that drops over 200 feet straight down and gets up to 70 mph! Roller coasters were not made to do that when I was a kid. Besides the rides, there are shows, animal attractions, historical and educational resources and dining options just to name a few. Adults (ages 10 and up) can have fun in the park for about $60/day per person and any child ages 3 to 9 get in for about $50 for the day. Be sure to check out Busch Gardens during your stay in Williamsburg!

I’m in Nicaragua, wearing a new swimsuit, paddling away from a deserted beach.
I graduated college with a hankering to travel. A contact in Nicaragua offered me free room and board to teach English, with a bonus of daily surf lessons.

I met Mia in New Zealand, while on a bus that was taking us sky diving. I was only along to take photos for my friends, for I had gone skydiving twice before and wanted to save some money.
The initial spark between us was ignited before we arrived at our destination.

I’m writing from behind the reception desk here at El Diablo Tranquilo hostel in Punta del Diablo, Uruguay.
Every day a new group of travelers arrives in this chill little beach town. Some are seasoned solo travelers, like the sea captain who cleaned out a group of earnest Swedes in Texas Hold ‘Em last night, or the Alaskan mountain guide who winters in South America. Others are backpackers, traveling in groups, red-faced under their massive mochillas.

Bad times for the United States economy.
Consumer spending is down. Economic growth is turning negative. We??re headed for a recession. Our politicians are desperate to solve this problem, to squeeze a few more micro-points of economic growth out of the American people.

The holiday season. It arrives with festivities and departs with similar flair. Goodbye…and please do not return until next year.
Christmas has always been about family, yet in the same context, Christmas has been about the spirit of giving??in many different ways.
When I say giving, I am referring to a scale of giving; from honest care to its?? opposite, or shall we say mass consumption and the hoards of consumers, entering shops and browsing online catalogs with as deep or as shallow of pockets permissible.
