		<description><![CDATA[We had our frustrations in Japan, sure, but overall, I am enamored with the country. I&#8217;d go as far as to name it in my top 10 favorite places visited, if not top five. Here are some of the quirky attributes that gave it such a high ranking in my mind. 1. The culture of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While I had a blast at Snowcial in Tahoe last month, I&#8217;m still dreaming of days spent tearing down the slopes as my time on skis was limited this past trip. We hoped to hit up Park City this winter&#8212;a ski fantasy that will be shelved until next season what with our relocation, SVV&#8217;s new [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Somewhere in between China and sailing across the Pacific, we made a five-day stop in Japan. It was rainy, and we had booked a room in Kyoto, so the first order of business was taking the train there from Kobe. Easier said than done&#8212;particularly if you&#8217;d just offloaded from a ship and didn&#8217;t have any [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After Costa Rica, following a day cruising through the Panama Canal, our Semester at Sea voyage made one final stop before docking for good in Fort Lauderdale. Originally, we were slated to visit Havana, Cuba, but when our travel license didn&#8217;t come through in time, that changed to Santa Tomas de Castillo, Guatemala. Well, one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I nearly didn&#8217;t go to Snowcial this year. There was the little issue of getting out to Tahoe from Tennessee for just a weekend, though mainly my ambivalence was due to the fact that I had just returned from sailing around the world and, quite frankly, was exhausted. But at the end of the day, [...]]]></description>

But due to the fact that all the homes we reached out to required a multi-day minimum&#8212;and we were there but a [...]]]></description>

But up until my visit to Cambodia, I&#8217;d never actually sat on an elephant. When Mom and I were in South Africa two years ago, we visited an elephant sanctuary. We fed them, we nuzzled [...]]]></description>

My parents had me in tee-ball and soccer before the age of 5&#8212;on boys&#8217; teams because there was no such thing as all-girls leagues back then&#8212;and I played basketball, soccer and tennis (both school and club teams) straight through high school. I even went onto play college tennis, [...]]]></description>

Well, the truth is that many days there are just so many things going on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I never did much coverage of our 2008 trip to Guatemala, primarily because neither of us were wild about the destination. We found Antigua too touristy, the Puerto Quetzal area too run down, the rainy season (which lasts much of the year) a bit too restrictive and the no-see-ums that found their way into our [...]]]></description>
