In this photo…My guide at Angkor Wat, Cambodia, seemed more interested in taking pictures of me than I was. For this photo, he'd just directed me to move over a bit for a better angle; I'm more laughing at us than smiling for the camera.From my last trip, I brought back…Custom-made boots
My most-prized passport stamp is…Cambodia—I just love the Khmer script
My best road trip was…The Great MacNeil Family Camping Cross-Country Road Trip of 1994

When a flight crew arrived 75 minutes late, delayed passengers booed and shouted at them. So the crew refused to fly. And then things got worse from there.

It turns out that a German entrepreneur who owned a sawmill in the region discovered the ruins 40 years earlier, and ransacked the site, reselling artifacts to European museums on the sly.

This July in Santa Fe, you'll find the world's largest international folk art market. Sample Cameroonian meat pies, listen to Japanese Taiko drummers, and watch Chinese dragon dancers.

It seems that most everyone agrees that the issue of overweight passengers on airplanes is a serious problem. What to do about it, though, is the subject of (a lot of) debate!
