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. While there is no strict dress code, it's important to dress appropriately for the weather and…

Nepal and Tibet have just undertaken a campaign to attract 1,000,000 visitors. I don't view this as a good development. Do you?

Tell me the story of your flight from hell. I am addressing all of the PR directors of all of the airlines at the ATA conference on Thursday. Who knows where stories I have will come into play. Actually, I am planning on asking them how we can work together on projects like air traffic control and easing the crazy visa problems and CBP entry problems we are having here in the US. I need to develop a good relationship with them.

Yesterday, had a meeting with the director of privacy for Homeland Security. Very interesting.

Members of my family just had a flight from hell two weeks ago. Thanks for the links, Charlie.

This week coming up is the last week to let the DOT know what you think about changes to airline regulations. You can go to regulationroom.org to register regarding all aspects of the new regulations. Go also to www.madashellabouthiddenfees.com, sign the petition for transparent airline fees and tell your stories about dealing with hidden airline fees.

Went around the cape east to west, Phuket City to Patong, on a boat then one glorious night of luxury at the Banyan Tree to the north on a post trip following SATW Freelance Council's Bangkok conference. If I can break away from work, I hope to catch a bit of the SE Regional. Will look you up.
