NY Times, Southwest feature Durham, Triangle in travel profiles

[lreynolds]

A couple of local nods to the Bull City from travel writers -- one of which has drawn enormous attention in recent days -- have done a nice job highlighting how Durham destinations stand out even in the larger Triangle.

Another nice travel feature came in a publication that arguably gets even more readership than the Times -- Southwest Airlines' Spirit in-flight magazine, which for the whole month of May provided bored flyers (or those who misjudged the texture of an air sickness bag) an interesting look at travelling to Raleigh and Durham.

The Triangle area is a wonderful place. I spent some time working at RDU and really enjoyed going to the Durham Bulls Minor League Baseball games. I worked at MSY before Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans. With no work available at MSY I took a transfer to SMF. I really liked Sacramento, Ca but could not affford a home in that region. After spending more than a year at SMF I transferred to RDU and put my home up for sale in New Orleans. Unfortunately my home would not sell and I had to transfer back to MSY on the last recall for Southwest. It was two long years of seperation from my wife and son so the decision was made to return. We really would have liked to start a knew life in the Triangle area. It just did not work. If your looking for a great place to live, work, and have your kids in school I would say look into the triangle area of North Carolina. Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill have alot to offer.
