Sometimes, things at camp were downright hard. We got no sleep, dealt with “behaviors,” or had to clean up things that we never thought we’d have to. The worst night, though, was the night of the tornado warning. When you’re at a special needs camp, there are more people with sensory issues than in normal [...]

The volcanic eruption in Iceland disrupted air travel more than any event in recent history, even the grounding of worldwide flights immediately after 9/11. The disruption was particularly bad in Europe. Hundreds of thousands of travelers were stranded for days as flights were canceled, and countless others had to alter their travel plans. Major airlines [...]
