From
Baja California to Point Barrow,
Alaska Having
written a second lengthy episode of the
Yellowhead Highway story, and updating our
video documentary on the Alaska Highway's
first half century, the task ahead is sure
to be a super challenge. I fell in love
with the open road at an early age, being
born in Dawson City. Yukon to parents from
Seattle, Washington and Vancouver, BC. My
paternal grand parents lived at Palos
Verdes, near San Pedro, California and our
first drive from Canada down the old
Highway 99 to visit them was like a dream.
Subsequent drives have added fuel to the
fires of desire and
created
an even greater hunger to explore the
highways and byways of this vast region.
In my mind, Highway 99 is every bit as
romantic and nostalgic as the highway
immortalized by Nat King Cole in the song,
"Get your kicks on Route 66." The route
takes you from the Mexican border, via
California, Washington, Oregon and British
Columbia, to the Yukon and Alaska. Similar
to my "I am the Yellowhead" story, we plan
to profile many of the towns and cities en
route.
Continued The
cable cars and Fisherman's Wharf alone are
enough of a drawing card to set many of us
packing. I mentioned Folsom; it's a link
in the "Golden Chain," (Highway 49) from
Grass Valley in the North to Tuolome
Country in the South. Along the way is a
string of restored mining towns, each one
being a photo op (the road is narrow, so
be sure to drive slowly). Go there at the
right time of year and you may take in a
frog-leaping contest as described by John
Steinbeck. Now that Alaska Airlines has
such great fares from Seattle and
Vancouver, it's getting easier than ever.

New York, NY -- Rockefeller Center's
historic Top of the Rock Observation Deck,
which presents an incomparable place from
which to understand and celebrate New York
City, was recently named one of the top 10
U.S. attractions by Trip Advisor, the
world's largest on line travel community.
The deck includes three lower levels and
three upper levels housed in the 70-story
architectural heart of Rockefeller Center,
30 Rockefeller Plaza, in the center of
Manhattan. The observation deck was
first opened to the public in 1933.

Magazine
As
Editor of Africa Travel Magazine in
addition to Air Highways, one of my
greatest pleasures is introducing my
African friends to North America. This is
a regular function of ATA Chapter
Presidents. Sometime soon, we plan to
initiate a cross country roadshow by van,
rather than plane hopping. This way, our
visitors see the real America and Canada
close up.
Go
for the Gold on San Francisco Bay
Inspired
by the two Johns (Authors Steinbeck and
Jakes) who recall their life and times in
the San Francisco Bay, Monterey Peninsula,
and Sacramento Delta, I was hooked from my
first visit. The fact that both my father
and sisters Rosalie and Sally chose to
live there was another reason to spend so
much time exploring many of the places I
read so much about. When we visited the
historic site at Sutter's Mill, where the
'49er Gold Rush began, and drove through
the mountains to Reno, I was part of the
scene. Having harmonized with a Barber
Shop Quartet in Folsom during their
international convention, visited numerous
wineries, and driven the Golden Chain, I
soon became a Northern Californian at
heart. San Francisco is a treasure chest
of experiences.

Highways to Arizona on America West
Having
spent many glorious days and nights in and
around Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tucson and
America's Southwest Desert country, we are
pleased to introduce the airline that
connects Canada's Snowbirds with Arizona
and other fun destinations. Arizona's golf
courses are superb, as was our week at
Scottsdale's Mountain Shadows Resort, even
though it was a mostly business affair.
But
business is always more than a pleasure in
amazing Arizona. If you love barbecued
ribs the size of bicycle handlebars,
there's a place we visited in Phoenix
that's out of this world. Ask America West
about it. (continued)

Park is a motel complex that features
an acre or more of antique railway
cabooses, gathered from across the USA.

Sacramento, we were stranded at Dunsmuir

raging snowstorm. (details)
Our
last visit to Florida was overnight from
Seattle aboard USAir, for the America
Travel Market in Orlando. We return for
the Annual Golf Travel Market this year in
St. Petersburg. It's easy to see why so
many Eastern Canadians, Quebecers in
particular, are turned on to this area as
a Winter Escape; so now thanks to Open
Skies, and a variety of travel options
available, its Western Canada's
turn.
