Sandra Scott Travels: This One’s For The Birds

October 26, 2018 Contributor
The leaves are falling and there is snow in the air but there will still be a couple of warm, sunny days perfect for a jaunt in the woods. Recently, John and I were at Cornell’s Ornithology Lab where we watched a video in the theater detailing the patience and endurance of photographers trying to get an image of a bird-of-paradise in New Guinea. They also have a lab where one can listen to and learn bird sounds. On the massive wall they have a world map mural that shows one bird for each of 243 bird families.

Sandra Scott Travels: Thinking Of A Tasty Winter Getaway?

October 19, 2018 Contributor
When the leaves start to turn red and yellow, my mind begins to think of winter getaways and it always conjures up beautiful Ngapali Beach in Myanmar – my happy place. When we first stayed at Ngapali’s Amazing Resorts in 2008 there were virtually no tourists and Amazing Hotel Ngapali was the only hotel on this stretch of beach.

Sandra Scott Travels: The Tommy Plane Flies Into History

October 12, 2018 Contributor
I had never heard of the Tommy Plane and, to my surprise, neither had my aviation-enthusiast, John. The World War I Thomas-Morse S-4B aka the “Tommy Plane” was made in Ithaca. For a few short years in the early 20th century, Ithaca was a thriving center of the aviation industry. The Thomas-Morse Aircraft Corporation produced hundreds of World War I-era “Tommy” Scout Planes.

Sandra Scott Travels: Plenty Of Places In NY To Enjoy Fall

October 5, 2018 Contributor
When the leaves start to turn people often head to the Adirondacks and, for sure, they have some awesome foliage. I especially like the ride to Old Forge and beyond. The panoramic view from the McCauley chair lift is awe inspiring. A boat ride on the Clearwater from Old Forge on the Fulton Chain is a relaxing way to see the area, but they are coming to the end of their season. However, the Finger Lakes are also a wonderful place for a fall trip.
