The surprising charm of Ashburn, Georgia
I had to go to court for a traffic citation that I received while driving through Georgia on Interstate 75. Of all places, my arraignment was held in the smallest of small towns - Ashburn, Georgia. I knew nothing of this small town and was a nervous wreck about having to come from Tampa Bay, Florida (about a four hour drive) to stay overnight so that I could be at court on time. With the steady help of my great friend George, we arrived safely at Ashburn on Monday evening and checked into the Super 8 motel which is one of the two available motels in the area.

Cutting Costs To Your Travel Plans
Take It From Someone Whose Mother Was A Gypsy... When I think about traveling, all I can think about is money. Especially if I'm the one in charge of organizing said travel. It didn't used to be this way. Back when I was a teenager my mother and I would just jump in the car and leave. Mom and I traveled all over the United States, just her and I. When I got older, I asked: "Mom. How are we affording this?" She would laugh and say: "I've been saving."

Life’s a Breeze in Valdez, Alaska
During my Alaskan road trip, I was told the salmon were spawning in Valdez during August and that it is a must-see. Despite the backtracking, I caved and added it to my spontaneous itinerary. I’m glad I did. With shockingly beautiful glacial mountains, more fish than one can imagine, and a tragic historical past, there’s much intrigue to draw all kinds of folks to this special place.

The Last Train to Nowhere
In the remote town of Silent Hollow, life moved at a slow, predictable pace. Nestled in a valley surrounded by dense forests and mist-covered mountains, the town was largely disconnected from the rest of the world. Its most notable feature was an old, decrepit train station that hadn't seen a departure in decades. The station’s platform was overgrown with weeds, and the once vibrant signs were now faded and rusted. Yet, the tracks remained intact, stretching out into the wilderness, a silent reminder of a time long past.
