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…

What do you wear to Seven Magic Mountains?

Seven Magic Mountains is an art installation located in the Nevada desert, and the weather can be quite hot and dry. 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.

Thanx Paul. I truly appreciate your energy and promptness. Enjoy your cruise. Do you have the PR person's email?

Cruising's not really in my bag of tricks, but what about the old give-'em-a-call approach? I can't count the times I've called a golf course or resort or CVB or provider seeking assistance.

By the way, Charlie, I got that invite to the Pow Wow too. I'm making it work; some family commitments are right around the same time, but I'm looking forward to being there when I can. Being out in California, I'm thrilled that next year's Pow Wow will be in San Fran. Orlando is quite the schlep for just a few days!

I received the press invite for the Princess one. Unfortunately, I already had travel plans so had to turn it down. Sure hated to do that.

I know that both Fantasy Cruises and Princess sent out invites for Alaskan cruises a while back. :) I shall be on one of them and hope somebody here will be, too.

Jon,

I see here that there is a press cruise on the Epic coming, no details http://www.cruisemates.com/forum/norwegian-cruise-lines/372910-norw...

@PrincessCruises is doing a #FollowMeAtSea to Alaska in June
Jon Haggins May 10, 2010 at 8:22am

Does anyone know about a press cruise coming up in the near future?
Sheila O'Connor May 9, 2010 at 7:30am

Hi might I ask anyone with NATJA what they get from the group? I was a member a couple of years ago and got one press trip but after that there was never another press trip mentioned. I'd love to be enlightened though :-) I did publish a couple of times on their online newsletter but I have outlets now so don't need that exposure any more. Thanks.
