What a Trip

Posted by No Kids, Will Travel on January 26, 2014 in Travel, United States
Oh, Pennsylvania.

Oh, Pennsylvania.

“What the heck is that?” you ask? That’s what it looked like last night as we drove down the Pennsylvania Turnpike. For about 90 minutes I wondered if the state had snow plows. It was nearly as much fun as you’re imagining.

The slick roads and intermittent white-out conditions got Zeke and I thinking about road trips that went wrong, so here are our best (worst) stories from the highway of life.

To South Carolina via Urgent Care

I (Amanda) was home from college for the summer and my family had planned a road trip to Hilton Head, South Carolina. Fine by me, I love a week at the beach! Unfortunately I managed to catch a truly horrific stomach bug about 24 hours before we left town. I remember begging them to let me stay home (and puke in peace), but my parents were having none of that.

In addition to our various suitcases and bags of books and snacks, we packed a bucket and several plastic grocery bags. We drove down to about the Virginia/North Carolina line and stopped for lunch at Cracker Barrel. I wasn’t ready to eat anything, but I had a delicious grape soda. It didn’t stay down long and I was feeling worse than when we left Maryland, so my parents decided to stop at an Urgent Care in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. If memory serves, we spent about an hour there, culminating in a shot in my hip with some kind of magic serum that kept me from puking and knocked me out cold for the duration of the drive.

Even when we arrived in Hilton Head, I was so sick and my stomach so sensitive I couldn’t even put on my pajama shorts. I was hunkered down in our rental unit wearing only a t-shirt and using a blanket as a loose-fitting skirt for days. I’m thankful the unit had an exceptionally soft leather couch; I spent many quality hours there.

Once my health was restored I truly enjoyed the vacation, but those first few days were pretty awful.

Strep Stomach

When he was 16 turning 17, Zeke went on a cross-country trip with his family in their Plymouth Voyager. Somewhere in the vicinity of Jackson, Wyoming, Zeke’s sister (Andrea) started suffering from hypothermia. It was the first sign of illness, but she had been sick for some time. She was weak, she didn’t want to eat, and Zeke’s parents wisely whisked her to a local clinic.

The doctor was able to diagnose that she had a strep infection in her stomach. He prescribed antibiotics and rest, so the westward journey was put on hold for a few days while she recovered in a tent at the KOA. Zeke remembers how miserable she was, at that the close quarters (and the fact they were camping) didn’t seem to help matters.

Everyone survived the Changuris’ Great Western Adventure, but Zeke says Oregon Trail came to mind constantly.

A Painful Lesson

Posted by No Kids, Will Travel on January 19, 2014 in Planning, Travel

DeparturesLast week we talked about a trip to Florida in Baseball Binge. My father thought it was a good idea, so he asked me, like always, to book him some tickets for a trip.

I got the information from him over the phone and wrote it down. Then I followed up with him in person to make sure the trip information was indeed correct.

I waited until a Tuesday afternoon when there would be no distractions and got to work looking for the best fare.

I used the Kayak, Hipmunk, Orbitz, Southwest and JetBlue websites to find the best deal.  I eventually found a quick round trip nonstop ticket for the dates he wanted at a great price on Orbitz.  We then played phone and text tag a few times to confirm that the flight times and price were good for him. Then I booked it.  I was done, no problem.  I booked the tickets just like I’ve done dozens of times before.

Fast forward to the following Thursday. I’m working a live shot at a fire scene and I get a text from my mother:

“Yikes! You need to change our flights! Daddy said March not February!”

I replied quickly:

“What? I did what?”

“[Expletive that rhymes with fit] I’ll fix it.”

That’s right, I had booked the tickets for February — not March as intended. I was so focused on getting the dates and days of the week correct I didn’t notice the February and March calendars are identical (until you get past February 28th).

I waited for what seemed to be an eternity for my laptop to turn on and link to the internet.  I had to reboot twice for my air card to connect properly.  The frustration was building fast.  I got on the phone with Orbitz and waited, and waited, and waited. The time on hold could have only been 5 minutes, but felt like for-ev-er.  The first customer service person I talked to, after digging out the Orbitz Record Locator number (you have to have that for them to help you)  informed me that the grace period for changing flights with no penalty expired at 10 p.m. Central Time the day after purchase. That would have been 10 p.m. Wednesday. I would have to pay substantial fees to both Orbitz and United to change dates.

I was starting to feel sick to my stomach.  I did my best to reign in my panic and my computer finally connected to the web. I went to the website. I then began what was going to be the painful process in changing the flight.  I went to the “My Account” page in the menu bar and clicked.  I then signed into the site by clicking on the “access a trip without signing in” link (since I don’t have an Orbitz account).  I located the itinerary and clicked on the “change/cancel flight” link and went about selecting the right dates.

After being given several options, I was able to find the same flights but this time in March.  The button to select with the price told me what it would cost in addition to the original sale.  I clicked.  A pop up message then told me to call customer service to confirm with the new Record Locator number.  I was on hold for a shorter amount of time and  talked with a very pleasant woman who had me go over the credit card info, new itinerary and the Record Locator then confirmed that the seats were available and we completed the sale. I had her send me and my father the new information via email.

The change wasn’t cheap. The cost was the equivalent of buying two extra tickets and tossing the old ones in the trash.  I still felt sick.

I contacted my parents and told them the news.  I also took the responsibility for the f-up.  I offered to pay them for the mistake.  We eventually came to the conclusion we were both at fault since they had the information emailed to them when we bought the first tickets and they didn’t catch it until Thursday morning, after the grace period for no penalty changes. We are still working things out, but I think it’s only fair to split the cost of the change.

Lessons Learned

  1. Even experts in travel screw up.
  2. Mistakes, particularly easily preventable ones, cost money and YOU CAN NEVER CHECK AND RECHECK ENOUGH.
  3. My father must be mellowing with age. He didn’t even send a text in ALL CAPS.

A Baseball Binge

Posted by No Kids, Will Travel on January 12, 2014 in Travel, United States

The search for the sun and signs of spring weather are a recurring theme of this blog, mainly because of my personal dislike of the cold. Because of this bias I grasp for any hint of the warm weather to come.  The first and earliest sign of the coming spring is when the birds begin to fly south.

Yes, I said fly south.

You: “But Zeke, birds fly south in beginning of winter; how can you call that a sign of spring?”

The birds I’m talking about are Blue Jays, Cardinals and Orioles — Baltimore Orioles.

The teams of Major League Baseball begin to report to spring training on February 13th, that’s 33 days from the day this blog is posted. The state of Florida will be descended upon by fans ready to witness their own version of the great migration, as the American League’s Grapefruit League starts up and big names play ball in small stadiums.

A young Zeke at the plate.

A young Zeke at the plate.

If you’re a fan of America’s pastime (yes, Amanda, it’s baseball, not football), here are some hints on where to go for some bird watching (or pirate watching or tiger watching or men-wearing-pinstripe-suits-and-playing-in-the-dirt watching).

The first games start Wednesday, February 26th, with the Yankees vs. Pittsburgh in Bradenton, Florida at McKechnie Field. The stadium holds just under 8,500 spectators and that makes every seat close to the field. You won’t find yourself sitting in the nosebleed section; there isn’t one. You should easily be able to see that “dreamy” Derek Jeter (at least according to my sister and mother) play short stop up close.

Here’s the plan to get all the up close you can while on your baseball bender. I’m using the Orioles’ schedule, but you can substitute your favorite team.

I’m assuming you’re staying in Sarasota to be near the home team. You can check into a La Quinta Inn & Suites on March 1st and out on the 6th for about $129 per night for a total of $645 for five nights. Why five nights? My goal is 5 games in five days.  I suggest getting a rental car since all five games are within 1 hour and 10 minutes of Sarasota, which will cost you around $434 for a week.

The first game is on home turf at Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota versus the Toronto Blue Jays on March 1st. Tickets are $16. The second game is March 2nd, 1 hour and 10 minutes away versus the Boston Red Sox in Fort Myers. Tickets range from $52 for seats,$44 for bleachers and $35 for lawn seats. The next game is back at home in Sarasota (back to $16 tickets) before hitting the road for the hour drive to Tampa versus the Yankees, tickets: $24.00. You finish out your trip on the road back in Fort Myers this time versus the Twins: tickets $20.00.

If you need a complete schedule of the action for the Orioles check out the official Baltimore Orioles site. If you have a favorite team other than the O’s check out the Florida’s Grapefruit League site for information and links for the American League spring  training schedule. You can also follow the league on twitter at @FlaSpringTrain.

Let’s add up the cost of this trip:

$645 hotel+$434 rental car+ $128×2 tickets=$1,335 (beer & peanuts not included)

Oh, and Dad if you’re reading this, round trip from Baltimore is $530 for two.

Exploring American Literature in Massachusetts

Posted by No Kids, Will Travel on January 5, 2014 in Travel, United States

I like to read. I also like to write, so an appreciation of great works of literature is a given in my case.  If you’re like me and also want to know some of the back stories behind the great writers of the past, Massachusetts is one of the best places you can visit. I’ve compiled a list of great 19th century writers whose homes are open to the public.

Ralph Waldo Emerson is known to us as a poet and philosopher and considered a icon of American literature.  The essays he wrote such as Self-Reliance, The Over-Soul, Circles, The Poet and Experience are considered pivotal works in establishing American Literature.  He lived in Concord, Massachusetts, making it a mecca for American writer in the 19th century.  His home, The Ralph Waldo Emerson House, where he lived from 1835 until his death 1882, is a national landmark and available for tours by the National Park Service.

American poet Henry Wadworth Longfellow, most famous for his poems Paul Revere’s Ride and Evangeline, was one of the most influential poets of the 19th century. The lyrical style of his works was copied by a multitude of American and European poets.  His home in Cambridge, Massachusetts is just a short walk from Harvard where he worked as a professor (until 1854 when he devoted his life to his writing). The home is now administered my the National Park Service and is open to the public. If you visit Longfellow House, you aren’t just visiting the home of a poet, but George Washington’s headquarters during the siege of Boston in the 18th century.

Emerson and Hawthorne’s “The Old Manse” | Image courtesy: The Trustees of Reservations

Nathaniel Hawthorne is a writer you probably had to read in the 9th grade. You may not recognize his name, but you’ll likely remember the title of his most revered work, The Scarlet Letter.  Hawthorne’s works didn’t stop there; he published several other novels focusing on the morality (or lack thereof) in the Puritan community. The House of Seven Gables, published in 1851, focuses on a New England family in their ancestral home and is considered a Gothic romance in the same genre as Wuthering Heights by his contemporary, Emily Bronte. The House of the Seven Gables is a real place and belonged to his cousin Susanna Ingersoll, the descendant of the same old New England Family.  The house and its adjoining properties are available for tours in Salem. Yes, there is a connection with the famous witch trials, but that is for another post.

Louisa May Alcott’s works Little Women, Little Men and Jo’s Boys published between 1868-1886 are still staple of American literature and at least one of those books can be found on the bookshelf of most young girls in the United States even today.  The home, Orchard House, located in Concord, Massachusetts is not only open to the public but it is packed with educational experiences.  The mission of the house is to be a “living textbook by which economics, geography, history, literature, math and science come to life”.  I found a majority of the programming is directed at younger visitors, but I imagine if you don’t have a degree in 19th century literature or history the programs might be just what the lay person needs.

So, if you are interested in the people and places behind the words of the American literature movement, start planning your trip to Massachusetts.

A New Year’s Tradition

Posted by No Kids, Will Travel on December 29, 2013 in Greece

We at No Kids, Will Travel (Amanda and myself) know how busy you are this time of year, so this week we are keeping it simple for your sake as well as our own.  The world’s cultures have many different ways to celebrate the New Year, from watching the fireworks light up Sydney Harbor Bridge at midnight to standing in New York’s Times Square watching the ball drop. The various Greek islands have their own traditions, too. Some celebrate in Sygtama Square with drinking and dancing, but the most common (and safest tradition in my opinion) is the making of New Year’s bread. The Vasilopita, or Bread for St. Basil, is served on New Year’s Day and is a common tradition in most Greek households.

The Legend of the Vasilopita

Saint Basil was serving as Archbishop in Caesarea, located along the modern day coast of Israel, when a band of thieves stole many valuables from the nearby villages.  The valuables were recovered by the authorities and the people were told to come to the treasury to claim them.  A big problem at the time was documentation; you didn’t necessarily get a printed receipt with each purchase in ancient times (or in modern Greece until recently). So, the people squabbled over which items belonged to whom. The job fell to the Bishop to come up with a solution.  St. Basil, as crazy as this idea sounds, told the women to bake all the valuables into a large pita.  The Bishop then had each of the wronged parties cut a slice from the large loaf and miraculously each person’s slice contained what had been taken from them.

The modern Greek household places a coin, (a dime in my family) into the dough and whoever cuts the slice with the dime in it gets good luck all year long. The tradition may vary, but by our tradition the first slice goes to the house, so if the dime is in it everyone gets good luck, followed by the father (yes, patriarchal tradition, deal with it) then the mother and on from the oldest to youngest child. If extended family is visiting for the New Year, the house if followed by the oldest male and descends from there.  The immediate house Changuris in my case goes: house, me, Amanda and then our cat, Storm.

We hope you have a happy and safe New Year, whatever traditions you may observe.

New Year's Bread Ingredients

Holiday Bread

Ingredients

  • 5 pounds of flour
  • 4 packages of yeast
  • 1 cup of warm water
  • 1 pound melted butter
  • 7 eggs
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3 cups water
  • Rinds of 2 oranges

Directions

Mix yeast and water warm water and set aside. In a sauce pan simmer the cinnamon stick and orange rinds in 3 cups of water. Beat 6 eggs with butter and sugar then add cinnamon water. Add yeast mixture and salt. Add flour and dime to mixture gradually and kneed it until it forms a big ball. Put dough ball in to a large greased container and cover with a damp cloth and let the dough rise until it doubles (4 or more hours).

After the dough has risen punch the dough down then let it rise again for 45 minutes. Take dough and shape it into 3 loaves then place in greased pans. Beat remaining egg and then brush it across top of loaves. Let them rise again for 1 hour.

Place in oven at 350 for 1 hour before placing on a cooling rack.

NOTE

If you are adding a dime to your loaf, I suggest sterilizing it in boiling water first, then wrapping it in foil before dropping it into the dough.

Christmas Traditions Around the World

Posted by No Kids, Will Travel on December 22, 2013 in England, Greece, Italy, Mexico, Travel

The idea of trimming a tree isn’t universal, even in countries with large Christian populations.

Greece is 95% Greek Orthodox and you will seldom see a tree, except in a store window.  The main symbol of the season is a wooden cross with basil wrapped around it, kept fresh using a bowl of holy water. A member of the family then dips the cross and basil in holy water and uses it to sprinkle water in each room of the house, similar to the tradition of blessing new homes in Greece. The holy water in this case is believed to keep the Killantzaroi, a goblin who appears before Christmas, away from the home. The holiday in Greece and for a lot of Greeks is not the big one on the religious calendar; Christmas comes second to Easter.

We, as Americans, open presents on Christmas morning (or afternoon in my case, since I work in the morning and don’t get time off for Christmas). The children of Italy traditionally wait until the Feast of the Epiphany, on January 6th for their presents.  The idea of Santa was also not native to the home of Catholicism. A kind witch named Befana is said to deliver presents to the children of Italy. The legend says she was delayed because she couldn’t find the star over Bethlehem and got lost and has been flying around delivering presents to all children ever since.

I prefer to imagine the kind witch delivering presents by donkey, as described in the song by Lou Monte. Hee-haa.

The tradition in Mexico includes a celebration called La Posada, a religious procession that reenacts Mary and Joseph looking for a room in Bethlehem. The congregants go house to house carrying images of Mary and Joseph looking for shelter, but all of the residents tell them there’s no room available. It makes me wonder, if you had a pregnant woman about to give birth show up at your door would you slam it in her face?

A midnight mass is also held in many Mexican churches called the la Misa Del Gallo, or Rooster Mass, because of the hour the rooster crows is generally when it ends. The tradition of the congregation singing lullabies to the baby Jesus is very sweet.

Great Britain is the home of many of the western traditions of Christmas thanks to one man: Charles Dickens. The stories he wrote cemented many traditions associated with Christmas in the western world. The idea of stockings hung by the chimney with care or at the end of your bed so Father Christmas can fill it up is a classically British. The opening of presents under a tree on Christmas morning is also a UK thing, as well as a big feast like the one Dickens describes taking place at the home of Bob Cratchit in “A Christmas Carol”.

I’ve used the word tradition 7 times (8 including this one) in this post, and that’s what’s important this time of year. Whether you carry on a well-established tradition or create your own, such as our tradition of trimming a very small tree,  it’s an opportunity to reflect and celebrate with the ones we love.

We like to keep it simple.

Oh My Holy Lands

Posted by No Kids, Will Travel on December 15, 2013 in Planning, Travel

You know we don’t use the term bucket list around here at No Kids, Will Travel. We live with the philosophy  that you don’t wait, you just go. Even so, we understand waiting is probably a good idea sometimes.

IsraelMap

For years I have wanted to visit the Holy Land.  I am (for the most part) not a deeply religious person, but my love of historical places runs deep and that little stretch of the Middle East that lies along the Mediterranean has some of the most important historical locations on the planet. The pull of the place on a historian like me is strong, but I’ve been hesitant to pack my bags and go.  You seldom see a news report come out of Israel that doesn’t involve some sort of tragedy. I know the odds of getting struck by a Metro bus are probably greater than getting blown up while on vacation, but why take the chance, right?

The US Department of State’s last travel warning issued on June 19, 2013 and is still in effect starts like this…

“The security environment remains complex in Israel and the West Bank, and U.S. citizens need to be aware of the continuing risks of travel to these areas, particularly to areas described in this Travel Warning, where there are heightened tensions and security risks. The Department of State strongly warns U.S. citizens against travel to the Gaza Strip. Furthermore, it cautions them that, with the exception of Jericho and Bethlehem, personal travel to the West Bank by U.S. government employees is prohibited.”

The warning goes on to say that safety in cities like Tel Aviv and Haifa and the surrounding areas are like most major global cities, and you should avoid isolated or economically depressed areas including the countryside.

But if you’re like me you aren’t going to Israel to visit Tel Aviv or Haifa (despite the nice beaches), you want to see Jerusalem, the city three of the world’s major religions claim as a holy place. It’s an ancient city that drew countless wars for its conquest and in many ways still does. The travel warning continues to warn that:

“In October 2012, a tour bus operating on an established route within East Jerusalem was the target of a stone-throwing attack that resulted in injury to a U.S. citizen tourist. Such attacks, however, are not common in the city of Jerusalem.

“In mid-November 2012, long-range rockets launched from Gaza in the direction of Jerusalem reached as far as the outskirts of Bethlehem.”

I wouldn’t let this discourage you, though. The tourism industry equates to nearly 4% of the national economy bringing $1.5 billion to the country. The state of Israel has a vested interest in protecting its tourists and tourist sites.

So is it safe? The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs says yes, Israel is a very safe country to tour. The country had close to 4 million visitors in 2012, and according to them “all of them went back home again safe and sound.”

Okay, but what about the Palestinian areas? The Palestinian Authority runs those so can they be safe? The crossing from Jerusalem to Bethlehem is direct (no stopping along the way) and hundreds of tourist makes the trip each day. You see the little town of Bethlehem is dependent on tourism, too.

The authorities and powers that be say it’s safe, go ahead and plan your trip. If you’re still nervous, find a tour group. I would suggest doing a little research and choose one that has been doing it for a few years and has experienced guides. A couple of suggestions: Globus (we traveled with them to see Egypt and  felt very safe) and Abercrombie and Kent.

Don’t let fear stop you for exploring the world. Travel smart, but don’t let fear keep you at home.

Festive Frederick, Maryland

Posted by No Kids, Will Travel on December 8, 2013 in Travel

The fall wanes to winter and the weather turns cold, the sky darkens early, but the streets of my hometown are still warm and bright. I have lauded Frederick, Maryland before as a Norman Rockwell scene come to life and it lives up to that description even more than usual this time of year.

The trees along Market Street are decorated with white lights, a sure sign the holiday season is underway.

The trees along Market Street are decorated with white lights, a sure sign the holiday season is underway.

The main street, Market Street, basks in the warm yellow glow of tree after tree strung with lights. The many downtown businesses have not forgotten the art of the window displays either, enticing every passer by to stop and search their festively decorated stores. The shopping isn’t the only attraction in the city, festive Frederick has events throughout the season.

You don’t just go to the mall to visit Santa; you can climb aboard the Santa Trains on the Walkersville Southern Railroad, running out of  Walkersville just north of Frederick City. The jolly old elf will visit each passenger and pose for pictures as you roll through the countryside. Passengers are treated to hot chocolate and cookies upon their return to the station after an hour ride. You can climb aboard December 8th, 14th, 15th, 20th and 21st.

You may be tempted to follow “a star, a star shining in the night” and thanks to the planetarium you’ll know what to look for. The Mystery of the Christmas Star show at Frederick County Public Schools’ Earth Space Science Lab sets out to explain the science and most likely explanation of the star the wise men followed to Bethlehem and the baby Jesus more than  2000 years ago.

The star might even lead you to a doorstep or two as you spend an evening getting to know the Historic Homes of Frederick. The private residences open their doors to visitors for self guided tours of these decorated dwellings, many of which have rich histories that date back to the 1700s and 1800s. Since the tour is this weekend (December 7-8), you’ve probably missed it this year, but it’s a good one to put on next year’s holiday schedule.

The season isn’t the season without Saint Nick, so join the Kris Kringle procession December 13th as the city celebrates the lighting of its tree. The city has strong ties to its German roots and shows it off with a parade through both yesteryear and downtown with German folk characters, including Kris Kringle. The parade goes down through the village until it reaches the city band shell in Baker Park to light the tree.

The clustered spires of Frederick (mentioned by 19th century poet John Greenleaf Whitter in his poem about local legend Barbara Frietchie) also open their doors the evening of December 26th. I have been in many of the churches and synagogues included on the Candlelight Tour of Historic Houses of Worship; they are beautiful in the daytime and get only more ethereal by candlelight.

Wherever you may find yourself this holiday season, take a moment to enjoy the sights, sounds, smells — and even the chill in the air. January will be here before we know it.

Your Holiday Gift Guide for Travel Enthusiasts

Posted by No Kids, Will Travel on December 1, 2013 in Travel

If you have a travel enthusiast on your “nice” list this year, look no further. We’ve compiled a list of gifts sure to light up their faces like the national tree, whether they’re true jet-setters or just feeling the wanderlust. As in years past, no disclaimers are needed for this post. These are just our personal picks for travel gifts, we haven’t received anything from any of these companies.

Woman listening to musicLet’s start with a timely and practical idea: noise-canceling headphones. While frequent flyers have been swearing by them for years, these high-tech headphones could become a true travel essential now that the FCC is reconsidering its ban on in-flight cell phone calls. While there’s no guarantee the rules will change (or that airlines will allow cell phone use even if the FCC says it’s safe), you’ll be helping your favorite traveler prepare… just in case. The “best noise-canceling headphones” according to CNET range in price from $79.95 to $399.

If your traveler is also a techie, you may want to consider this stylish roll-up travel charger from Restoration Hardware ($49). Plug the charger into one outlet and charge up to four separate devices using your own USB cables. When everything is charged, roll it up in its faux leather cover and stash it in your carry-on.

Does your traveler need a way to keep track of his or her journeys? Try this scratch travel journal ($27.99), complete with planning tools, a checklist, room for a diary, and scratch off maps to track where you (or the traveler in your life) have been. Want your traveler to enjoy the time away but keep home in mind? Give a hand-engraved compass necklace ($140) or a latitude longitude bracelet ($160) to guide them safely back.

What’s your favorite travel-themed gift (given or received)? Share a link in the comments (I’m still looking for ideas for Zeke’s stocking)!
