POPSSpain - The Land of Manana While visiting Spain you may be overwhelmed at the choice of activities. Other than the well known beach, water sports and golfing holidays the regions variously offer hiking, biking and mountaineering. Skiing in the Sierra Nevada and exploration of the mountains of Los Picos compete with Grand Prix motor racing and world class football. The museums, art galleries and parks rub shoulders with gastronomic restaurants, hotels and bars. The range of activities is only limited by your imagination.

POPSGhost Town Tourism For a modern-day travel mystery, try visiting a ghost town. I'm not referring to a town with paranormal activity, but one that has been abandoned or forgotten. The article I've clipped discusses this practice and points out that it can be exciting and a little dangerous.

POPSThe "Steve Sleeve" for MacBook Air Brilliant...absolutely brilliant. I think Timbuk2 is the equivalent of Apple in their industry (bags/luggage). I've been a T2 fan for years. Always innovating, they make killer product that is both highly functional and artfully designed. Like Apple, they have a very loyal consumer base and - like this new product illustrates - they are savvy marketers. Damn, i wish i thought of this!

POPSIn Memory of Sir Edmund Hillary
In the age of flight, why climb? For only a few hundred dollars anybody can rise to the height of 30,000 feet, and as we do, most of us fall asleep or lazily flip through a magazine. The appeal of Hillary, and the ascent of Everest is not the feat, but the humanity. To climb to the top of Mount Everest is not merely to conquer nature, it is a bold step into the world. It is direct involvement in the endeavor of Life. It is an affirmation of our place as a wild, exuberant part of this world, rather than simply a drowsy passenger behind dual panes of Plexiglas. Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzin Norgay did not conquer Everest. No mountain is ever conquered. They joined Everest, shaking off the insulated civilization and linking themselves directly with the dirt and rock of the ground on which they stood. Most mountaineers die on the mountain, vainly trying to triumph over nature. Hillary, however, lived. He lived as a man in the world, and of the world, at peace with nature.
