The notion I had for this newsletter back in 1979 – sharing
peaceful and unspoiled sanctuaries with a limited and compatible
group of gracious travelers – remains firm.
There is no concealing my disdain for the crowds, noise, rudeness,
bulldozers, fast food and packaged destinations. Skyscraper hotels
and copycat motels tender me the ambiance of a boiled turnip.
Small rates big. Charm not chicness. I am comforted by comfort,
invigorated by serenity and scenery, and grateful for hospitable
welcomes and warmhearted service.
