Praise from a jury of my peers!

 

I am absolutely over the top with the response from the Vagablogging reviewer for Rolf Potts. 

Linda Ballou’s Lost Angel Walkabout isn’t your standard collection of travel essays. At first impression it reads more like nature writing than anything else. Sure, most travelers are drawn to the scenic beauty of the countries they visit, or a powerful sea or desert expanse. However, Ballou brings an intelligent meditation to her travels in the wilderness. Her pages express a deep appreciation of natu

A Bitterly Cold Drive to Skagway, Alaska

December 17th was the perfect day for a drive from my home near Whitehorse, Yukon, to Skagway, Alaska - very cold with high north winds at Skagway but clear all the way.

This is a shot of the temperature gauge in my car as I was about to turn onto the Alaska Highway at 9:24am. It only goes to -30°C (-22°F) - when that's what it reads the temperature could be anything lower than that. It was actually about -34° at Mary Lake but probably got a few degrees colder a few miles south.

Is Your Baby Safe Flying?

It’s tortured reasoning.

The Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) position on mandatory child restraint systems (CRS) on planes is, that they’re not necessary.

Real Japan in Luxury

9008584679?profile=originalI wish I’d known about The Real Japan when I was traveling in Asia. Instead, I tried exploring this fascinating destination on my own and ended up nearly in tears – OK, actually in tears – when I couldn’t figure out the street signs, the menus, or pretty much anything else. In shear frustration, I signed up for a tour that took me to a series of touristy sites, and I left the country knowing I really hadn’t seen Japan

 

Since then, I’ve learned about Eric Demay and his company The Real Japan. Eric

Hangover Prevention Formula

Just in time for New Year’s Eve, I’ve learned about an all-natural product that prevents the ravaging symptoms of a hangover.

Just pop one capsule per 130 pounds of your body weight, avoid fibrous food for a couple of hours (which interferes with its absorption), and you’re good for 72 hours.

 

And this product isn’t just for preventing hangovers, it’s also good for comb

Why We Are Sexier On The Road

We knew travel was a terrific aphrodisiac, we just couldn’t prove it.

Then came a report that the majority of couples have more sex in a week’s vacation than they do in two months at home!


We knew there’s actually a Mile High Club with certain airlines offering sex in the sky for those seeking membership in this lofty club. We did an “expose” on the topic on Technorati Travel .

And we did short video at TVP, Travel As An Aphrodisiac that makes the poin
