Gadling Take FIVE: Week of May 2--May 8
Sometimes a Gadling post grabs one's attention and you think, "Gaad!"
- That's what I thought when I read Scott's post about the flesh eating bacteria that killed a man while he was on a cruise. I'm heading off on my first cruise in August. Naturally, a flesh-eating bacteria cruise story has impact.
- There are other posts that make a person ponder about life in general. That's what happened when I read Tynan's post on coping with travel disasters. His method is a make lemonade out of lemons version which serves him well.
- As you may have noticed we're starting a new series on budget travel. This one involves places to drive to from somewhere else. Here are budget destinations so far: Scott has the scoop on Santa Claus, Indiana (from Chicago); Grant's a whiz at Ann Arbor, Michigan (from Detroit) and Catherine knows about Puget Sound and San Juan Islands ( from Seattle.) There's much more coming. Each of us have favorite spots that don't cost a lot, but offer a wonderful time.
- If you're looking for an interesting, blogging way to fund travel, check out Aaron's post on Roads Scholarship. Think of it as a paid internship.
- For anyone heading to New York City, Jeremy's post on fun and games offers a unique way to take in the urban scene through Bocce Ball, chess and more. As he points out, immigrant groups have brought their games with them to the Big Apple adding an international mix to what visitors can enjoy.
