My favorite online daily, The Morning News, just posted a clever collection of personal essays about
holiday travel. TMN contributing writers share
Holiday Travel Hell
stories about the almost unavoidable ritual of the season — getting to where you have to/need to/want to (??) be for
the holidays. Unless, of course, your holiday is, like Pitchaya Sudbanthad’s,
“…about going nowhere.” From Altoona to Adelaide, there are experiences shared in these vignettes that I’m sure many
folks can relate to. I enjoyed reading these, and particularly liked Paul Ford’s piece, in which he wonders “…what
it’s like to look at the world and see a recipe.” Take a few minutes to read a few before you head out the door to
begin your own great holiday escape.
