I
have penned the Stor e Telling
column since January of 2002 and the articles from 2002-2006 are the
publications page of my website found here http://www.storybug.net/stor-e-telling.html. I will be adding
the columns from 2007 to 2012 to that page as well. However, I am in the
process of checking what link URL's have changed or are now defunct. It is
a time consuming process so I am taking the “slow and steady” approach via Aesop and will post
the individual columns on my blog for now.
I will not be adding current columns until the following year, so if you want immediate access to the newest websites, consider becoming a member of the National Storytelling Network.

Hare and Tortoise by Milo Winter, 1919 |
I will not be adding current columns until the following year, so if you want immediate access to the newest websites, consider becoming a member of the National Storytelling Network.
Please feel free to comment on the blog and let me know if
you find this useful; it is always a pleasure to hear from you.
This column normally contains story sites. However, with the
difficult economic times I thought I would share some links to help make your
travelling tales easier and more economical.
Our work requires
us to do a lot of driving and gas prices continue to rise. These two sites will
help you tame the gas guzzling monster.
AAA Fuel Cost Calculator
Calculate the cost of your trip if you are traveling by car.
Select your destination, year, make and model of car and it will estimate the
cost based on the regional average of cost per gallon. http://www.fuelcostcalculator.com/
Gas Buddy.com
Locate cheap gas prices in the USA and Canada. Also includes tips for conserving gas and links to other resources.

The skies are not so friendly anymore. Here are some sites
to help you find your way without breaking the bank.
Airfarewatchdog.com
Register at this site and let them notify you when airfares
drop. The site also offers a number of other useful tools such as flight routes
and information on hidden airline fees. Planning on hosting a festival or
conference? Make it easy for folks to find their way to you is their “Fares Widget.”
On your organizations website you can configure the widget to display the best
fares from anywhere in the country to your city. http://www.airfarewatchdog.com/
Kayak.com
Booking a flight and checking each airline website separate
for the best airfare can be daunting and time consuming. Why not utilize some
sites that will conduct multiple searches at one? This will help you navigate
your way through those cyber airports. www.kayak.com
Many airlines are now charging additional fees for baggage,
snacks, seating choice and more. This chart will help you calculate the
additional costs according to the individual airlines. http://www.kayak.com/airline-fees
Trip Advisor
I offered this site in 2006 but it is worth repeating.
Before you hit the wide open road check out your accommodations before you
arrive. The site offers ratings and opinions of hotels, motels and attractions
around the world from unbiased customers. http://www.tripadvisor.com/
