Read more…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…

For travel, I double Darryl's suggestion of an Asus Eee-PC. I don't like it has much as my MacBook Air, but at 1/5th the cost I feel better about banging it around on the road.
For a shameless plug: a review of Asus vs Acer netbooks
My latest discovery for computing on the road is Dropbox.com. You upload your files to the cloud, update them en route, and they're waiting for you on your home computer when you get back. No more tedious time spent moving files back and forth before and after a trip, and trying to figure out which one is the latest version. And you don't have to be online to use it--the files actually reside on your computer. You just need to be online to share them back and forth.
I just came back from three weeks away and I'm a new fan. Now I'm debating whether to shell out for the paid version that will give me more storage space.
Will do Ed. This Mac cost $2400, plus taxes. The next Mac will be around $1200. Still, I'm cheap enough to not want to risk that much on the road and my deadlines are such that I don't need to file whilst travelling. Plus the Acer is $700 less than the new iPAD II sells for in Canada.
Allan, I travel with a MacBook, but your Acer story sure caught my eye. Please keep us posted over the next year or three as to how the Acer treats you.
I'm a dedicated a Mac guy. So I am loathe to comment on technology. When I first went to buy a computer I asked a university teckkie who belonged to my coffee group what I should get. He told me, 'with your personality, you need a Mac. Take it out of the box and plug it in.' Perfect. That's all I've ever owned.
But like most of you, my life (and work) is on my harddrive, so when I travel I leave my laptop behind. I will travel within Canada with it, but never leave the country with it. (I have a MacBook Pro, which I'll soon update.)
So I consulted my Mac guy about the Air and iPAD. Gawd, I love the Air. But he didn't think it was for me. Then last week an old school friend stopped by to sample my whisky stocks and brought his netbook with him. Decent size and cheap. This week he picked one up for me. An automotive and hardware chain had Acer's on sale for $110! Software included. Hell, at that price I don't care if it gets lost, stolen or broken. At that price I don't mind travelling with it. I'll save that in internet cafe fees in the first year. I'll keep working files on memory sticks as a back up when I'm travelling. And it fits in the small bag I carry my cameras and notebooks in.
Who would have thought to check out a hardware store for computers?
Hi Everyone. This is my first time posting on here. I'm a Chicago-based journalist who has written for a variety of outlets including: Travel + Leisure, American Way, TIME magazine/Time.com, Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times. I'm going to Paris next week for three days and I'm looking for tips, suggestions. (This is my first chance to really explore Paris even though it is a quick extended weekend trip Fri-Mon.)
I'm trying to find unusual things to do to pitch or that haven't bee(n written about extensively. If you have suggestions. Please feel free to email me at dreiss100@gmail.com.
Thanks!
