Description of Pictures: Traveling Beyond Tourism with Arthur and Pauline Frommer: If you love to travel and are seeking more than just rest, relaxation, and visits to popular tourist attractions, travel expert and innovator Arthur Frommer and his daughter Pauline Frommer have a number of options for you. Drawing from years of experience, they offer an insider's look at out-of-the-ordinary vacation opportunities, including educational travel; volunteer travel; travel to exotic but safe destinations; fitness vacations; adventure travel; reality tours to Third World countries; vacations that pursue political subjects; and retreats designed to examine forms of spirituality or that offer a spiritual experience.

They also explore the selection of accommodations that lead to experiencing the more authentic aspects of popular foreign destinations. In addition, they describe clubs and organizations that specialize in alternative travel and offer tips on how to select those that are right for you.

Arthur Frommer, founder of the Frommer's series of travel guides, is one of the nation's foremost experts on travel. Pauline Frommer is the creator of a new series of travel guides called Pauline Frommer's Guides, one of which was recently named the best travel guide published in America in 2006. A selection of their books is available for signing after the program.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.

2007 photos: Trips this year: Two weeks down south (including Graceland, Shiloh, VIcksburg, and New Orleans), a week at a time share in Costa Rica over my 50th birthday, a week off for a family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with sidetrips to Dayton, Springfield, and Madison), a week in San Diego for the Comic-Con with a side trip to Michigan for two family reunions, a drive up to Niagara Falls, a couple of weekend jaunts including the Civil War Preservation Trust Grand Review in Vicksburg, and a December journey to three state capitols (Richmond, Raleigh, and Columbia). I saw sites in 18 states and 3 other countries this year -- the first year I'd been to more than two other countries since we lived in Venezuela when I was a little toddler. Ego strokes: A photo that I took at the National Archives was used as the author photo on the book jacket for David A. Nichols' "A Matter of Justice: Eisenhower and the Beginning of the Civil Rights Revolution." I became a volunteer photographer at both Sixth and I Historic Synagogue and the Civil War Preservation Trust (later renamed "Civil War Trust").. Equipment this year: I used the Fuji S9000 almost exclusively except for the period when it broke and I had to send it back for repairs. In August, I bought a Canon Rebel Xti, my first digital SLR (vs regular digital) which I tried as well but I wasn't that excited by it. Number of photos taken this year: 225,000.
