McClatchy Newspapers (MCT) - The view from near the summit of The Tower is pure Yucatan. Even with humidity as heavy as a grandmother's afghan, it is breathtaking: low and level scrubland as far as the eye can see, though studded here and there by small, tree-covered mounds. The Tower has an ...

McClatchy Newspapers
10/20/2008, by Jane Wooldridge
McClatchy Newspapers (MCT) - If you think Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights is just another haunted house, you need to get out of your coffin more often. "Rrrrrrrrr," sputters a chain saw, just inches from your back.

Chicago Tribune (MCT) - "There's a little bit of everywhere in San Francisco." So says a wise cabdriver at the end of a perfect weekend in this international city.

Wales is joining Scotland and Ireland as British golf destinations
McClatchy Newspapers
10/20/2008, by Ron Cobb
St. Louis Post-Dispatch (MCT) - There was a time, like maybe up until this very moment, when you wouldn't have thought of Wales as a golf destination. It's odd that a British country so close to Scotland and Ireland would not be known for golf. Certainly the game is a passion among the Welsh, as ...

Atop Norway: Fjords display a new beauty
McClatchy Newspapers
10/13/2008, by Karen Samelson
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (MCT) - Most tourists look at Norway's breathtaking fjords from cruise ships, glancing up. For a really intimate experience, I chose to see a fjord from a cliff staring straight down 2,000 feet into the azure water.

McClatchy Newspapers
10/13/2008, by Melina I. De Rose
South Florida Sun-Sentinel (MCT) - There's something about firsts. And Santo Domingo, the oldest city of the Americas, boasts many.

What makes Fatima special? On arriving the visitor can not help but notice that the area and its inhabitants remain humble and simple. There is an immediate sense of calm, particularly when entering the shrine area. It is not the grand Basilica that draws the pilgrim to prayer, but rather the simple Capelinha, site of the actual apparitions. It is here that pilgrims drop to their knees in front of the statue where Mary, Our Mother, made her requests to the 3 shepherd children; pray, repent, amend and sacrifice. Her specific prayer of choice? The daily recitation of the Rosary. And her promise? World peace, the total conversion of Russia and the interior conversion of individual souls. Fatima offers hope to a tired world. It is the only Marian Shrine where a public miracle, “the dancing sun”, witnessed by thousands of onlookers, proved its authenticity and continues to offer pilgrims from every walk of life spiritual renewal.
