Welcome to the April issue of The Traveler!
We're just back from our latest adventure - this time on the island of Kauai. Our tireless staff is sorting out The Traveler's notes and photos so look for "updates from Paradise" from The Traveler soon!
In the meantime, we've got four new Feature Articles to amuse, entertain, and enlighten. From teaching the uninitiated exactly what "Bangers and Mash" is to the world's largest multi-cultural festival in Canada, an Ohio museum dedicated to the barber's art, and finally a trip back in time to medieval German castles; we're in for a treat from our talented contributing writers.
Next is The Traveler's travel writing Pick-of-the-Month. Follow Italian "ex-pat" Beppe Severgnini as he chronicles his year spent living in the Washington D.C. suburb of Georgetown. A true immersion into American culture and a humorous outsider's take on the natives - warts and all.
Lastly is our travel Ideas, Resources, and Bargains; where you'll find everything from finding a good deal on airfare to a ticket for your first"zero-G" experience...
Enjoy!

Writing Pick-Of-The-Month
From his temporary home in the leafy suburbs of Georgetown, Washington, D.C., Italian newspaper columnist Severgnini turns a curious eye toward Americans, their bureaucracy and labor-saving gadgets. Originally published in the mid-nineties, an added quirk is looking at how much things have changed - and stayed exactly the same. Always a good read.
