It's My Right to Recline My Seat

In the travel world, few topics incite more contention and indignation than seatback etiquette—as we learned a while back when we published Six Shocking Stories of Travelers Gone Wild, which stirred up a wild debate among our readers.

In the piece, an editor from Family Vacation Critic (our sister site) and I both shared stories about other passengers reacting churlishly when we inched our seats backward. "When flying out of Portugal," I wrote, "I reclined my seat and fell asleep. I woke up when

Quito Lo Baila Todo

Plaza-Grande-Quito.jpg?width=640


por Cristóbal Ramírez

El colorido de sus edificios contrasta con sus montes verdes. Sea cual sea la dirección que tomen sus pies por el centro de Quito, capital de Ecuador, le rodeará la historia. Uno se queda boquiabierto ante tal despliegue de estilos artísticos mientras los quiteños van a su aire y apenas posan la mirada sobre los monumentos. Con razón fue declarada una de las primeras ciudades patrimonio de la Unesco, en 1978.

Walk along the streets of Old Havana, Cuba and you’re quite likely to stop to admire a very curious sight that will pass you by. You’ll probably hear it or even smell its fumes before you see it. You’ll wonder why it looks like a bicycle but sounds like a lawnmower. Welcome to the riquimbili: not quite what Che Guevara rode in The Motorcycle Diaries but a good example of Cuban inventiveness in finding a solution to a very real everyday headache.

Luxury Brands’ Weakness in Russia

Although Russia is one of the fastest growing markets for luxury products, the sales of foreign luxury brands have lagged mainly because they have failed to translate their websites into the Russian language. If they had chosen professional Russian translation for their website they could have taken advantage of this expanding market. Russia’s 77.5 million Internet users suggest that that electronic communication is vital to the success of foreign companies. Russian consumers prefer to shop from

Samoa - so very serene

 

A postcard of natural beauty, Samoa won the heart of Bev Malzard on a short break holiday.

It wasn’t quite love at first sight, but a slow feeling of affection growing as I came to know Samoa. After an early (before dawn) arrival at Faleolo Airport to the sound of local singers – and I’m always a sucker for a pretty song – we headed south cutting through the island of Upolu Island from north to south.

Driving through the dark, the soft twilight quietly emerged and we could s

One study actually suggested that business travelers filed 80% more medical claims than

I was at a Mexican restaurant recently, and its colorful assortment of piñatas reminded me of all my trips to Mexico - not to mention one of my oldest childhood memories. You know that car commercial that’s been all over the tube recently, the one with a kid whaling away at a piñata that stubbornly refuses to break – a stand-in for the durability of this particular make of car? It brought me back to one of my earliest childhood memories, my own kiddie party, when my dad handed me a plastic bat

When you think about films associated with Morocco, your mind can’t help but shift to black and white, as the faces ofIngrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart appear along with the soundtrack of “Casablanca.” However, this mythical movie was shot entirely in California, though it has left us with the memory of a romantic but dangerous Morocco.

Many movies have been filmed in this African nation, which prides itself on its own version of Hollywood or, as we Spaniards would say, its

Toledo, Spain.

From 712 to 1085 the Spanish city Toledo–now one of the most visited tourist cities of Spain–belonged to the Moors, who called it Tulaytula. By that time, Europe had slowly forgotten all the achievements of the Greeks and Romans, having deteriorated into some muddy backwater of overall illiteracy and grubbiness, but the Arab world kept rapidly developing.
