A tribute to my friend, the late budget travel icon Arthur Frommer

  The legendary U.S. travel journalist and entrepreneur Arthur Frommer passed away November 18 at the age of 95. Born in Virginia and with an early boyhood in a small town in Missouri, Arthur was a lawyer who became a pioneering and great travel journalist, and who will be remembered as having helped open the joys of travel to the masses.

  • Free members-only travel site to check out: TripAlertz.com

    TripAlertz uses the power of group buying to sell members-only travel deals at deluxe hotels & resorts, and will launch in beta on October 5th (you can preview deals now). The multi-night deals are up to 75% off prices found on public online travel sites. And right now, they’re giving away 250 free trips to the first 10,000 members! Plus, you earn credits for future bookings (Trip Tokens) by referring friends.

    How it works: Members reserve private travel deals within a one-week booking period (two weeks for international hotels). The more people that book, the lower the price goes, and everyone pays the same price when the deal clock hits zero. Once booked, members can opt to meet and share advice with their fellow travelers on a private collaboration page before and after their trip (not everyone travels on the same date).

    There’s some great deals featured at hotels like the Trump International Beach Resort in Miami, the Crescent Hotel in Beverly Hills, and the Hotel Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort in Riviera Maya. Check it out! TripAlertz.com
