An interesting behind the scenes look, Lester. Thanks for sharing this. Do you know if this Academy building will be open to the public, or will it just be for members of the Academies and their invitees? As I recall, the current Academy building is mostly off limits except to Academy members.

Join Samantha for a visit to the extensive gardens and park land that were once the private Florida estate of the Rockefellers.

Samantha wraps up her series on how to have the money to travel by saving it up ahead.

The Fargo-Moorhead Visitor Center offers up much more than local travel brochures, magazines, and maps.

Lester takes us on a preview tour of the museum that's been ninety years in the planning and will open for movie fans next year.

   April 1, 2014   I watch a lot of movies and, while I pay some attention to ratings and reviews, I can like them for any number of reasons, not necessarily related to the usual criteria.  There are actors who I’ll happily...

I like a city that embraces its roll in dark comedy!

Great info! If one can limit going to the theme parks, Florida is really a reasonably priced travel destination.

We've been replacing CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lighting) with new LED (Light Emitting Diode) type bulbs for over a year. They have multiple shapes to suit your needs. They use less than half the electricity of a CFL and last longer too. They have the added advantage of achieving full light in <0.5 seconds. Prices are dropping for all economy bulbs.

A nice conclusion to an interesting and helpful series, Samantha. Thanks! Some people fund their travels by living very simply on the road -- keeping expenses to a few bucks a day. That might work for them, but I travel to experience a place. And that means admissions to attractions, eating good quality meals, staying at a decent hotel etc. I'm old enough that an element of comfort and civilization are important to me. I'd rather live simply at home than on the road, and these tips provide...

Some more great tips Samantha! For people with jobs that offer overtime, I've always found that is a great way to save up money quickly. It's easier to stay motivated working extra when you know the extra amount on your check funds your travel.

Glad to see that you guys enjoyed the series. It was an interesting and eye opening post. Since I wrote this, we even cut cable and are using OTA and Netflix. Saving us about $100 a month. Not much, but it's a $100 closer to living my freedom lifestyle I am working toward. Thanks again for the comments. Have a great weekend.

Haven't gotten to cord cutter status yet, but you did inspire me to caLloyd them up and hack away at the bill...vut about 60 a month with very little pain. Thanks!

The Way is a movie about the pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago in Spain. Samantha really loved the scenery but also found it a very moving film.

There are a lot of great travel movies out there, but Samantha always enjoys watching Under the Tuscan Sun. It shows you that you can turn bad situations into good.

One of mt.favorite movies in one of my favorite destinations

My favorite travel film is 2001: A Space Odyssey. Changed my life.

George G visits an old Drive-In movie theater and remembers the days when it was common to watch movies from your car seat.

DrFumblefinger visits the Museum of Western Film History, situated in the town of Lone Pine. The hills and mountains of the area provided the location where hundreds of western movies were filmed.

DrFumblefinger visits the Alabama Hills, located in eastern California (and not in Alabama as the name might imply). They are a very popular setting for the filming of western movies.

So rugged and beautiful. I had never heard of this area before. Very interesting! #California has a lot to offer!

Everyone (almost, anyway) has a favorite Paris movie scene—after all, so many movies have been shot there!
