NEW ZEALAND'S SOUTH ISLAND: INVERCARGILL to GORE by Larry Turner
We awoke early, rolled the dice, and took some NZ backroads north. We were treated to a stunning sunrise, made even more-so as we came across a band of sheep being moved from one paddock to another.

THE TROGLODYTES AMONG US - Offpiste Humor by Steve Giordano
Our Stone Age ancestors lived healthier
lives than we do today, because their bodies and

DOWN UNDER: TOURING AFOOT AND AFLOAT
Australia - Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra
by Brad Hathaway
Would you call a visit to Miami and Washington DC a tour of the United States? No, neither would I. So I can't say our visit to Sydney and Melbourne (with a side trip to Canberra) was a tour of Australia.

CHAOS AT THE AIRPORT:
Pro strategies for surviving the next air travel meltdown
