Fear of Baggage Handlers

A colleague who travels frequently says the only thing he fears more than terrorists are airline baggage handlers.  He has a phobia when it comes to checking luggage. 

Because he flies at least three times every month, his packing and planning skills are finally honed.  He's been known to travel internationally for two weeks out of one carry-on bag.

Facts You Should Know About Network Neutrality

With the assistance of Liz Strauss from Successful Blog, Scott Ahlsmith, CTC, a travel industry colleague, has created an interesting and important post about maintaining Network Neutrality.  If you are not familiar with the Network Neutrality issue, this is a good place to learn about it.

Large telecommunication companies and cable television operators have lobbied Washington very hard to eliminate Network Neutrality which would prvent them from blocking certain content from your Internet account and charging you a surcharge for access to other content, like this blog!

Loophole in the Porthole

Over the years, we learned if something appears "too good to be true," it usually is -- especially when it comes to travel promotions.

Well, Maggie Moya of Miami, proved the time-honored adage once again.  She was arrested yesterday by the Miami-Dade Police Department for selling hundreds of deeply discounted cruises.  The catch?

iPod Weddings

It was probably inevitable; the convergence of the wedding ceremony and the iPod.  After all, ATM machines replaced bank tellers, why shouldn't iPods replace wedding reception DJs?  In fact, why not just download the wedding ceremony of your choice, complete with Mendelssohn's Wedding March, to an iPod and save on the organist and soloist?

A Citizen of the World

The following post, appears on the Daily OM Web site and provides a refreshing perspective about the value of vacation travel and the role of the traveler.

As the technology of travel grows ever more refined, the world grows smaller.  Whereas a journey of a hundred miles once took many days, we can now travel across the globe in mere hours.  The four corners of the earth are accessible by plane, train, and ship, and there are few pleasures in life as soul-stirring and transformative as travel.  In a new land, the simplest of joys can be profound-meditation takes on a new quality because the energy in which we are immersed is unfamiliar.  Our sensory experiences are entirely novel.  Yet the relative ease with which we can step out of our own culture in order to explore another means that we are ambassadors representing not only our own way of life but also the culture of the traveler.  As a conscious citizen of the world, you can add value to the locales you visit while simultaneously broadening your own perspective.
