Getaway L.A.

49993736-29145710 The new Berlin

One thing does lead to another. Last spring, I was obsessed with cleaning my garage; a week later, I had scheduled a trip to Berlin.

As I admired my handiwork, I eyed an old cedar chest along one wall, and I realized I hadn't looked inside since 1988. I hadn't wanted to. After all, it was filled with mementos of my husband, Jerry, who died in 1987 when he was a reporter for the Los Angeles Times. But now I was curious; I couldn't remember what was in it. Surely, it was long enough to brave the memories.

Unlike past years, when only U.S. veterans, active members of the U.S. armed forces and their families got a free pass, this year’s Veterans Day observance will allow everyone in for free.

Five nonsmokers’ paradises: a guide for globe-trotters
Smoking status is not a consideration for travel for me, but homophobia is.

It's interesting to see the corelation between nonsmoking and homophobia, as the countries listed here are some of the most homophobic places on earth.

This is a city known for great old architecture. And it's a desert spot and has a long-standing tradition of hospitality.

Once it was a city split by a wall. Now, a return visitor discovers, it's a splendid capital busy restoring its past and building its future.
