Taking off Travel blog

It’s always good to look back over achievements during the year. One of the ways to measure that on a blog is to see which of our posts have got your attention most in the past 12 months (or, in the case of this travel blog, 11 months). Here’s a look at the posts that have received the most comments since our blog has been going.

• Japanese Customs, Quirks & Other Fascinating Oddities - One of the things I love about traveling to new destinations is encountering new cultural oddities used in daily life. I’ve collected some things my friends and I found in our travels to Japan. See if you can guess what they are!
• Tipping & Gratuity Guidelines For International Travel - Americans can sometimes be loud, boorish, and extroverted. We’re the class clowns of the world. But we’re also the biggest tippers. We know that clowns are laughing on the outside, but crying on the inside, right?
• Italian Blog Scene: Rubber Slippers & Bleeding Espresso - Imagine a country in which the denizens are experts at il dolce far niente (sweet doing nothing). Italy is a country in which a great day is one spent sippingespresso (the national breakfast) and people- watching in a piazza.
• Chocolate Travel Tours Offer Sweet Adventure - It’s the middle of winter. I’m stuck indoors, with nothing to do but surf the intarwebz and think about sweets - and chocolate, glorious chocolate. Walking tours of local chocolate stores are a dime a dozen – so how about a chocolate travel tour?
• Layover In LAX - Things To Do - Who wants to sit around at the airport? If you’ve got a layover in LAX, parking your bags somewhere will give you the freedom to explore and you can still be back in time to make your connection.
• Layover In Tampa Airport (TPA) - Some like it hot - and that’s certainly the case in Tampa. This major city on the west coast of Florida is warm all year round, with only an outside chance of snow during the winter months. That means you can spend a lot of time at the beach.
• Layover In Boston Logan International Airport - Famous for historical events such as the Boston Tea Party, Boston Massacre and Battle of Boston, the city is also known for being home to America’s first college, Harvard, and as a major shipping and manufacturing hub and the cultural center of New England.
• Four Ways To Save Time When You Travel - When you travel, all you want to do is get on a plane and get to your destination. Unfortunately, check-in lines and security checks can eat into your free time and make travel a hassle. If you want to spend more time browsing the stores or having a drink in the airport bar, then follow these tips for speeding up your travel time.
• A Mini Florida Eco-Tour - I love Florida, yet I’ve only seen a small part of it. My first trip there was in the 1980s. I’d just started my first job and a few of us decided to book a long weekend in Miami. Truth to tell, I didn’t do much sightseeing then; it was enough for me to be in a different place and soak up the sun.
• Ten Things To Know About The New Indy Airport - The new Indianapolis Airport opened in mid November. Here are ten things you should know about the new Indy Airport. The new Indianapolis Airport has been planned for more than 30 years and cost $1.1 billion to build. No state or local tax dollars were used for this.
