Ireland added to the Appalachian Trail

Ireland added to the Appalachian Trail Mar 31st, 2011 at 8:00AM: You've heard us sing the praises of the Appalachian Trail on more than one occasion here on Gadling. It's the 2181-mile long trekking route that runs from Georgia to Maine that is considered amongst the best in the world. Turns out, the trail just got a whole lot longer, stretching all the way across the ocean to Ireland. Officially, the AT is an American trail, and more than 2.5 million hikers ...

Top five weekend travel media stories

Top five weekend travel media stories Jun 21st, 2010 at 8:00AM: Here are some of the best travel stories from this weekend's English-speaking newspaper travel media. 1.

Drunk man forces Moscow-Atlanta flight to divert to Canada

Drunk man forces Moscow-Atlanta flight to divert to Canada Jan 6th, 2009 at 9:00AM: Yesterday, a Delta Airlines flight from Moscow to Atlanta had to make an unexpected stop in Newfoundland after the pilot decided that an unruly passenger had to be removed from the plane. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police were waiting at the gate in the town of Gander. They immediately took the man into custody. Few details about his behavior were given, but he was said to be drunk, aggressive, ...

Gadling Audio Slideshow: Newfoundland Part III

Gadling Audio Slideshow: Newfoundland Part III Aug 8th, 2006 at 9:00AM: Took a few days to pull this together, but here is the third and final installment of my Newfoundland audio slide shows. This last one takes us out sea kayaking once again in the lovely waters of Newfoundland, and in particular near the town of Trinity. The first trip out, with the good folks at Stan Cook's, was delightful, but alas we saw no whales. This time out, however, things were different, ...

Gadling Audio Slideshow: Newfoundland Part II

Gadling Audio Slideshow: Newfoundland Part II Jul 27th, 2006 at 3:36PM: OK, after a few small technical difficulties I just posted Part 2 of my Newfoundland Audio Slide Show. This one takes us to the little town of Cape Broyle where I did a day trip sea kayaking with Stan Cook Adventures, an outfitter in the area, and a fine one at that. I chose some better music this time, or at least, it's relevant, since it is actual Newfoundlander music. But again, I kept it ...

Escape from Newfoundland

Escape from Newfoundland Jul 23rd, 2006 at 7:20AM: Well, it's just about 9am here in St. John's Newfoundland and my flight is supposed to leave in 4 minutes. After our flight was canceled yesterday and we were left hanging, left to completely fend for ourselves in a heavily over-booked city, I figured the folks at Continental would do everything they could to get a crew here and get folks out on time the following day. I was wrong. The plane is ...
