Recently I promised to find out more about how travel writers balance their lives between work and travel. To that end, I spoke with Gary Arndt.

Last week Hurricane Irene roared onto the Outer Banks of North Carolina and made its way up the East Coast of the US. To my surprise, I found myself in the midst of massive evacuation. I was just trying to get from Massachusetts to Florida after delivering my daughter to college, but I got caught [...]
