Can you believe how quickly the past year has gone by? Here’s our roundup of the posts you liked best this year (courtesy of some of PostRank’s technical wizardry):
Three Travel Trends That Tick Me Off
Ah – the glory days of travel: excitement, romance and luxury. The first time I stepped onto a plane, the experience was alluring. Seating felt roomy (I was young), there was food on little trays, and the cabin crew visibly loved their jobs – or put on a good show of doing so. Not any [...]
Traveling The Blogosphere – September 2009
This has been an interesting month. I’ve spent a lot of it visiting first Florida and now New Jersey, but today my travel will be virtual, as I look at some of the posts that caught my eye during the month of September. First, a recent post by Darren Cronian where he says it is Time to take [...]
Coasting And Karting In Florida
To round out my review of Florida attractions (see parts 1 and 2), there are just a couple more to mention. On Tuesday, we returned to Boomers to try out a couple of things we’d missed the previous week. The first of these was the wooden roller coaster, the largest of its [...]
On The Water In Florida
This is part 2 of my Florida vacation roundup. You can find Part 1 here. On the Friday, we took a one hour boat trip along the Florida waterways near Las Olas. Part of the enjoyment for some participants was the opportunity to gaze at the multimillion dollar homes and boats of stars and celebrities. There [...]
A Vacation In Hollywood
I’m just back from a trip to Florida, in the Hollywood/Dania Beach area. (It seems the person who planned the area was originally from California, hence the name.) It was fun. Flying in and clearing security went smoothly, and we were through in less than half an hour. Just as I was thinking we’d be [...]
Working On The Road
Last month I asked whether business travelers dared to unplug when taking a trip. If your answer was no, then you’ve probably got a list of items that are essential whenever you travel. As a location independent writer, I like to think I’ve got managing my business on the road down to a fine art. [...]
Carnival Celebrations Around The World
Wherever you happen to be celebrating them, carnivals are a time to let your inhibitions go and enjoy the music, dancing, costumes, parades and festive atmosphere. In many countries, carnivals take place just before a period of privation, such as Lent (derived from the Latin words carne vale – goodbye to meat). They give [...]
Would You Work For Free To Save Your Company?
I was interested to read this item on USAToday about British Airways’ grand plan to save money after posting a $595 million loss for the past financial year – asking employees to work for free. Head of the company Willie Walsh is leading the way by foregoing his salary for the month [...]
Visiting Nottingham Castle
Sometimes the most exciting attractions are those closest to home – and we never make the time to visit. We figure there will always be time to get there. I discovered one of those attractions on my recent visit to England. I’d lived in Nottingham for around eight years, yet had never [...]
