With a tropical climate and endless white sand beaches, the weather forecast for St. Croix is frequently given as “88 degrees, mostly sunny, 10% chance of rain.” Cited as the most cosmopolitan of the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Croix offers a diverse landscape ranging from the rainfore
Sometimes it's good to be cautious--and other times it's better to go with your gut.People told us not to visit Madagascar, that political conflict made the country unsafe for tourists.
But we decided to go anyway because if we had listened to those voices, we'd never have gone to Nairobi, Kampala, or Kigali.
We are cautious when we travel, but aware that our best and most eye-opening experiences are places well off the beaten path.
And, Anantanrivo, Madagascar's capital city, is a place we fell in

Debut of Inside Trip.Com: Adding Big Value to Airfare Searches
Last week marked the debut of InsideTrip.com, a new breed of airfare meta search engine.
While Kayak and other legacy search engines are perfectly capable of coming up with comparative air fares, the well-laid out, graphics-driven InsideTrip.com takes the search experience to a new level.
It evaluates an airline's itinerary and scores it, assigning it a "Trip Quality" rating based on twelve factors including aircraft a

There are plenty of places in London to get a traditional afternoon tea, and lord knows I've sampled enough of them. From the elegant surrounds of Brown's in Mayfair to the grandest dame of the all, The Ritz, if you're after scones and strawberry jam, Victoria sponge cake and Earl Grey, there's no shortage of places to try.
If however, you fancy something a little different, you could do a lot worse than give one of the capital's modern luxury hotels a go. Here are two of my favourite afternoon t

As we talked to locals in Gaborone, Botswana’s capital city, people were so proud to talk about the things they love about their country.
"We are free here, our country is so peaceful, you don't have to be afraid," said one.
"You can criticize the government, you have free speech, free electio
There's something stirring in East London, and I'm not talking about mop-haired trendies mid-afternoon on a Sunday. This part of the capital has been - up until now - significantly lacking in luxury hotels, but that's all changing with the arrival of upmarket designer boltholes to make any fashionista swoon.
First up is Sir Terrace Conran's Shoreditch venture, The Boundary (pictured). Opened last year, it doesn't occupy the prettiest spot in the city, but is fast becoming a destination in itself.

Airlines Add Fees For Summer Travel
When will it end?
Ten to thirty bucks more is what you'll be paying this summer as airlines impose a surcharge for flying on peak travel days... except this summer, all days are "peak flying days," that's 73 of 74 days on most flights from June 10 to August 22.
Farecompare.com reported that the surcharges apply for each-way domestic flights, which means a family of four could pay an additional $250.00 for air travel.
A surcharge, usually around $1
Sun, sea, waves, tanned bodies and relaxed attitudes are all part of the surfing lifestyle, but it has also come to my attention that tourism can be a part of the ‘gnarly’ world of riding waves.
Whilst researching alternative tourism activities in West Africa, I came across a great number of surf shops, surf camps and surf tours along the coastal areas in countries such as Senegal, Liberia and Ghana. These are little known projects, and not only take the tourist to some beautiful beaches, but als

Would you sedate your child on a flight? Are parents who do, wrong?
A Wall Street Journal article reported that many parents "drug" or sedate their kids on planes so they'll be less bothersome for the parents, flight attendants and fellow passengers.
The "drug" of choice seems to be Benadryl, and while it does calm kids, often putting them out for hours, it has awakened others to what might be an abusive practice.
The responses to an About.com (and other) postings on the subject re

Shakespeare's play, Timon of Athens, tells the story of Timon, an extravagant Athenian nobleman spending his money wastefully, until his creditors show up and demand payment to cover his debts. Timon sends his servants out for financial help, a bailout, so he can continue his lavish lifestyle.
English classes can debate if Timon was a symbol of Greece's extravagance, but we can say that today, Greece's staggering debt and and its need for financial rescue is an apparent opportunit

We love the energy of Maputo. It is vibrant, entrepreneurial, positive, and alive. Though Mozambique is not without its problems, its capital city is clearly on the move, transforming itself and melding some of the best parts of its rich and diverse cultures.

It's a price sensitive world, where low cost airlines rule the roost and are increasingly the airlines of choice for many travelers, so it's refreshing to meet a contrarian like blogger Rob Cockerham.
He spends his time looking for the most expensive First/Business-Class tickets and luxury flights, and posting the results on his web site, Cockeyed.com, like the British Airways flight from New York to Sydney (RT) for an eye-popping $ 30,67
The Rabbit Hill Inn in Lower Waterford, Vermont, right over the New Hampshire border, is one those rare destinations with hundreds of reviews and not one that doesn’t give the place outstanding ratings.
Mobil has given it Four Diamonds, and Rabbit Hill belongs to the cluster of "Select Registry" inns.
OK, so what?
Well, so plenty. The bucolic setting (compete with white-steepled church across the small village lane) and lovely gardens matter only if the innkeepers care about their guests and show i

It’s really cool when I get to spend some quality time with a really smart winemaker. Such was the case when I sat down with Etienne Cowper, winemaker for Tesoro Winery in Temecula Valley to talk a bit about him, the wines he loves, the region he is such an integral part of, and his summer releases.
Etienne has been a winemaker here, there and everywhere: New Mexico, Napa, and Temecula Valley to name a few. He’s worked at large wineries and small
Dear Fellow Traveler,
I often talk to people about my world travels and how travel changed my life. Having been born in beautiful Santorini, Greece, and enlightened in the culturally diverse wonderland of San Francisco, I sometimes feel like the luckiest guy in the world. But it was my travels beyond these places that inspired me to create TicketPlanet.com.
In 1979, at 19 years of age, I set off from Greece on a big Europe "stomp". Traveling by car, train, and bus - - by any cheap way imaginable -
