here's one sport everyone in the lesbian and gay community loves:traveling.Not just package tours, either. Travel plans can be one-day excursions to the city or the country, backpacking through the woods, enjoying a personal weekend at a gay bed & breakfast, spending time at a favorite resort town, setting out on an exotic journey to countries mysterious and alluring, or partying for a week on a cruise ship.

Whatever the occasion, season, or reason; whether adventuring by yourself, with your traveling companion, roommate, or life partner; there's always somewhere else to go and great times to be had.

Make a few plans now. Look through this special Chronicle travel section to spark some ideas. Talk to a travel agent. Get out your suitcase and be good to yourself. Take a trip!

And make sure you leave some time to meet other friendly traveling gay men and lesbians along the way.
