Readers recommend: Milford Sound by kayak
The only way to see the breathtaking beauty of Milford Sound is by kayak. Rosco's guides take you out early in the morning, before the tour boats and planes arrive, and they let you experience the nature and wildlife of this magical place up close. No experience is necessary.

Readers recommend: Farmers Market in Hawaii ranks among the best
One of the best and cheapest eating experiences in Honolulu is the Saturday morning Farmers Market at Kapiolani Community College. I've spent a lot of time at farmers markets in Marin County, in Portland, and other places, and this ranks with the best of them.

Readers recommend: Canada's Table 24: A fabulous meal
On a recent road trip, we had an astonishing meal at a year-old restaurant named Table 24 in the little British Columbia town of Salmon Arm (between Vancouver and Calgary, Alberta). It was an enormously pleasing and satisfying meal, wholly unexpected.

Readers recommend: Be ready to pay in Germany and Austria
We just returned from a trip to Germany and Austria. Here's a warning: Not one shop we went into took credit cards. Cash only. And the banks in the smaller towns would not cash a $100 bill. When we cashed American Express traveler's checks, the bank took 11% (ouch).

Readers recommend: EVA Airways, a great way to Hanoi, Vietnam
I recommend EVA Airways as a wonderful way to fly to Hanoi. There is an elite class that is comfortable for those who need more leg room and wider seats but who don't want to spend for business class, but the seating and service are fine in coach as well.

Readers recommend: Thermae Bath Spa in Bath, England
My niece, Julie McKay, and I had our second two-hour session at Thermae Bath Spa in January. We luxuriated in the warm waters of the open-air pool. We felt as though we were in a bottle of Champagne. We got our hair wet under a small waterfall, then descended to the steam rooms. I do recommend a visit."
