A tribute to my friend, the late travel media 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. While serving in the U.S. Army in Europe in the 1950s, he got the travel bug, came out with a travel guide for servicemen, and followed up in 1957 with…

Therefore, it is recommended to wear comfortable and breathable clothing, such as shorts, t-shirts, and sandals or sneakers. You may also want to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. It's also a good idea to bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated.

Buzzy, Burston-Marsteller used to represent CR; not sure they still do. On my last trip to Costa Rica, I dealt only with Tartan Group, which represents some high-end ecolodges. I do have this contact information from a press release: visitcostaricapress@bm.com; 866.600.6806. Let us know who actually turns out to be the right person.

I'm headed to Costa Rica in March on assignment and plan on spending a couple of extra weeks there. Does anyone know a media relations person with CR Tourism, or a PR form that represents them?

Thanks and Happy New Year,

Buzzy
