It's one of the biggest travel days of the year, but it will be made harder with a major winter storm bearing down on Maine.

It's almost Open Lighthouse Day in Maine!

September! It is almost fall in New England. Maine conservation officials say they're expecting a vibrant fall foliage season. So it is time for the  weekly fall foliage report. The reports will start on Sept. 10 and run through Oct. 25. So, what to expect…officials say that conditions in northern Maine meant that residents and visitors will likely see subtle color changes and low leaf drop. Read

When you think of quiet rides, a motorcycle isn't the first thing that comes to mind. Enter the electric Harley Davidson, which will be introduced in New York this week!

I love this. There are 8,000 markers that define the border between the sister nations of Canada and the United States, establishing the 'no touching zone'. ( MOM, Canada is touching me again!!)  This video will explain a lot of the 'whys' of all of that.

The NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship will be played at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on April 7th.  Selection Sunday is March 16 with the first round played in Dayton, Ohio, March 18-19. Second and third round play takes place March 20-23 in eight different cities.

A few weeks ago I was reading a story on Facebook about Scattering CJ.  It is a story about a mother in Auburn whose son died April 14, 2010 and her journey to find some peace with what happen. He committed suicide. CJ was only 20.  I was drawn to Hallie Twomey’s story for two reasons. One, losing a child is the last thing any parent should have to endure.

Not since 'Snakes on a Plane' has an airplane ride been so entertaining.

Clearly, this is one of the coolest videos you’ll see all day.

A few weeks ago I was on vacation in the Newport, Rhode Island area.  I had gone to the area to see Battleship Cove. But I realized just how close we were to the Newport Mansions, I had to go. I had seen many of them on TV shows, but the real thing is so much better...

When you think of New York's Museum of Modern Art, you probably imagine giant splatter paintings and jars of toenail clippings. Not your thing? No worries; they also have a new video game collection.

The date was June 6, 1944. The invasion of France by the Allies had begun, and it was the beginning of the end for Hitler's Third Reich, and its occupation of mainland Europe.

Located between First Avenue and Avenue A, The Baths have been an institution in lower Manhattan since 1892. It's a place that every man who lives in or visits New York should put on the top of his priority list.

Some cities more than others need to have sexy brought back.

Well, just watched the Travel Channels “Truck Stop Paradise” and yes they did visit Dysart’s just of I-95 in Bangor, Maine. Overall, not bad, they did not go out of their way to make Mainers look like hicks. (So many travel shows do that for some reason) And the food looked great..BUT, I do have a bone to pick with the Travel Channel.

If you’re looking for a little international adventure, there’s one place you may be surprised to learn will welcome you with open arms.
