2 weeks ago Like the title of Easton Corbin's new song, when you travel, you'll find that gas prices are "All Over The Road". Last week, my wife and I drove down to Washington D.C., and that meant going through New York state, Pennsylvania, Maryland and into D.C., and gas prices were like a roller coaster.
April 20, 2013 If you are going car buying in Singapore make sure you're ready for some serious sticker shock. A VW Golf that would cost an American buyer about $23,000 goes for $110,000 in that Southeast Asian country.

Their solution certainly restrained him, but didn't do much to shut him up, as we now know, thanks to this video of him trying to scream through the duct tape over his mouth.
January 7, 2013 As we all know winters in Central New York can be long and hard. If you are a winter sports enthusiast it's great but if you long for the warm days of spring and summer it can be downright depressing. That's why so many of us plan a mid-winter getaway to someplace warm. Here are some popular spots courtesy USNews.com IHOP will celebrate National Pancake Day with a free stack of buttermilk pancakes on February 5.
November 21, 2012 My sister is a retired United Airlines flight attendant who flew the friendly skies for over 30 years. My niece is currently a flight attendant with United/Continental with 20 years experience. They have told me some pretty bad horror stories about passenger misbehavior. Now a new survey byTravelDailyNews details the best and worst behaviors by airline passenger. The best passenger? A single 30-something male. The worst behaviors?
As Halloween draws near, shut the lights off, grab your pet, a well-worn blanket, and curl up to read about some of the most spine-tingling and frightening places on Earth.
