Why I Started a Travel Blog So Late in the Game — Harbors & Havens
You all know that compliment “you’re one in a million,” right? Well, when it comes to travel blogging, it often feels like I’m just one OF a million. Or millions. And that’s not completely false. Google the phrase “travel blog” and you’ll get nearly 300 million hits. Of course, that rounds up every page that mentions “travel blog,” whether or not it actually is one, so it’s hard to nail down an exact number. But there’s no arguing that it’s a saturated market.

Understanding Difficult Workplace Relationships
Early in my career as a psychiatrist, I had a lot of trouble treating deeply egocentric patients — until I looked inside myself. I learned that when I felt that there was a patient I simply couldn’t treat, I needed to figure out why. Most often, the person’s behaviors reminded me of someone in my family. Worst of all, the person was often acting in a way that I myself did – and hated. Through this process of reflection, the feeling of vexation moved squarely onto me.
13 Tips for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
The party doesn’t start until 7 p.m., but you can arrive at the park as early as 4 p.m. There are entrance lines specifically for party guests and after security, you’ll get a special wristband that signifies you’re here for the party and don’t need to be kicked out after regular hours. Once inside, veer away from Main Street to the party entrance on the right, where you’ll get trick-or-treating bags with a few starter pieces of candy to snack on.
Switzerland Road Trip: The Best Switzerland Itinerary for 5 days
Catch the first cable car ride up to Oeschinensee to maximize your time today.

11 of the Most Beautiful Places in Switzerland
The most beautiful places in Switzerland aren’t always along the touristed streets of big cities.

21 Things I Don't Spend Money on to Pay for More Travel
(Spinning in fields like a kid doesn't cost a dime.) Annual passes. While we enjoy attending athletic events and the theater, we don’t maintain memberships or annual passes to anything. I always crunch the numbers, but we typically don’t do the same activities enough times to make a pass worth it, even at Disney (where we go at least once a year).
How to Spend a Day at Oeschinensee Lake in Switzerland
Besides making friends with the cows living their best life on the shores of the lake, there is tons of outdoorsy stuff to do at Oeschinensee, whether you come for a couple of hours or a full day. If you have 2-3 hours, take the cable car up to the top and walk to the lake (about 30 minutes each way). With a short visit, you can either rent a rowboat for an hour, walk along the shoreline snapping pics of the waterfalls or kick back at the lakeside restaurant with a coffee.

7 Totally Fun Things to Do in Utah and Arizona
Stretching from Chicago to Los Angeles, Route 66 once was the “Main Street of America.” A bustling path filled with roadside motels and drive-up restaurants, it served rapidly growing motor traffic in the mid-1900s and became an icon, thanks to cultural and pop references, including the famous Steinbeck novel “The Grapes of Wrath.” Larger highways have since replaced the historic road, but you can still drive portions of it, where you’ll find everything from ghost towns to tourist attractions...
Grand Canyon Itinerary: How to Spend One Day at the South Rim
One day at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon might not seem like enough, especially considering the park in northern Arizona spans more than 1 million acres, and the canyon is 277 miles long. But, you can manage to squeeze in a lot if you’re short on time. Even a day trip to the natural wonder is better than nothing at all, and 24 hours is enough time to hike into the canyon, have a picnic with a view, walk along the rim, and catch a memorable sunrise or sunset (or both if you’re ambitious).
How to Survive Working for a Bad Boss
A boss can make the workplace miserable. Given how much time people spend in the office, life itself can become wretched. You start to feel angry, humiliated, anxious, and depressed. You tell your coworkers just how bad this supervisor is, how they treat you, how they make you feel. Your boss really is a jerk, you claim. A schmuck, you all agree. You consider doing something about it, but take no steps. You hope that the boss stops acting this way and that everything will just get better on its own.

Nov 9 Nov 9 How to Visit Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach in Iceland “Iceberg ahead!” I might have said this one too many times as we zipped around the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon on a Saturday morning in early October, but something about the cold air striking against my face and the faint odor drifting from my borrowed flotation suit made the *slightly misquoted and somewhat insensitive* “Titanic” reference seem extra amusing.

5 Difficult Workplace Personalities-and How to Deal With Them
One of the best advantages working moms have in dealing with disruptive workers is that it's very similar to parenting. The very same behaviors that are problematic in the workplace can be easily observed in children: disrespectful language, name calling, refusing to complete tasks, interrupting others and bullying, to name a few. Thinking similarly about children and adults who are having problems interacting with others can help remove some of the anger from the interactions.
Disney’s Pandora Land — the Good, the Bad and the Really Long Lines — Harbors & Havens
Avatar Flight of Passage. By far and away the best part of Pandora land is the 3D ride Avatar Flight of Passage. For evidence, I present the 5 hour wait time we encountered. Don’t worry, we stayed out of that queue! It got so bad that the entrance to the land had to be closed at least once to let the lines die down. We finally got to experience Flight of Passage during “Extra Extra Magic Hours�

The Ethics of Behavioral Health Information Technology: Frequent Flyer Icons and Implicit Bias
A subpopulation of individuals with serious mental health conditions makes repeated and frequent visits to emergency departments and psychiatric crisis centers.
How health technology can reinforce biases against the mentally ill.
Imagine it is 2 a.m. in the ER at High Tech University Hospital. The charge nurse turns to his computer monitor to see who waits in triage. Three new patients.

This means the patient has visited the ER more than five times in the past 30 days—she’s a “frequent flyer.” He doesn’t remember her, but her name is Mrs. Simmons.
