We’re beginning to hear on the news that the economy is starting to recover (or at least it’s less bad than it was), but most people I know haven’t felt any improvements yet. There are still plenty of people who are unemployed or underemployed, and – as it impacts BootsnAll – many who are postponing [...]

Date: November 11th, 2009 | 1 comment
Many moons ago when my parents moved my brothers and I from Connecticut to Oregon, we drove cross-country and spent much of our trip north of the border in Canada. I don’t remember much in the way of details about the places we saw, and as an adult I’ve only managed to make it back [...]
[read more]Taking Advantage of Off-Season Travel Deals
Date: November 4th, 2009 | 1 comment
One of the first truths you learn when you start paying attention to travel news is that by simply avoiding the peak travel times to any destination, you can save money on your trip. It makes perfect sense, and seems like one of those things you “should’ve known” in the first place – if I [...]
[read more]Halloween Travel Round-Up: What’s Spooking the Internet This Year
Date: October 30th, 2009 | No Comments
Is there such a thing as a Halloween Scrooge? Because if there is, then I’m it. I don’t have kids, and I live in a neighborhood that gets no trick-or-treaters whatsoever (over the nine years I’ve lived here the doorbell has rung on Halloween fewer than five times total, and I think three of those [...]

Date: October 29th, 2009 | No Comments
The holidays are approaching quickly (too quickly, if you ask me), and while most people I know are obligated to travel home to spend time with family, some travelers use the time off they get at the holidays as the perfect excuse to take advantage of the often low off-season fares to otherwise extremely expensive [...]

The week before I was supposed to fly to Las Vegas for BlogWorld, I got a cold. Of course. I managed to kick the cold with a few days to spare before my trip, but unfortunately (thanks to the rigors of business travel) I came home a little hoarse and feeling like I’m still recovering [...]
[read more]Making Friends at BlogWorld 2009
Date: October 20th, 2009 | 6 comments
Yesterday on Twitter I declared that “the downside of making new friends in far-off places is the desire to be in all those far-off places at once (or at least more often).” Through the magic of a blog post instead of a 140-character Twitter post, I’m now able to expand on that statement.
What I was [...]
Remembering Your “First”
Date: October 14th, 2009 | No Comments
Y’know how sometimes, no matter how good your most recent experience is, you find yourself reminiscing about your first? The one that opened your eyes to a world you didn’t know existed before?
Oh, stop. I’m talking about the first destination you traveled to, people.
I talk about Italy all the time, on this blog, on BootsnAll’s [...]
Re-Evaluating Travel Assumptions
Date: October 7th, 2009 | 1 comment
I’ve spent quite a bit of time on this blog lately talking about Las Vegas, from how I don’t like the city to preparing for my upcoming trip there, and frankly when I found out I’d be going to Vegas this year it was so long ago it felt like the trip itself would never [...]
[read more]I’ll be at BlogWorld Expo in Vegas next month, will you?
Date: September 22nd, 2009 | 1 comment
If you’ve been paying attention to this blog, you may remember my recent posts about how I’m not the biggest Las Vegas fan in the world – and then how I found out I was speaking at a conference in (of course) Las Vegas. What I failed to mention then was details about the conference. [...]

Member Spotlight
It's been awhile since we had a BootsnAll member stop by the office. However, thank to a recent post on the message boards wondering where the Boots Crew were these days, we managed to arrange lunch with Bideshi, aka Mike (blue shirt below).
With a couple of stints working in South …

Awhile back I posted here about getting into the Boston Globe Travel Show for free. Turns out that was for the trade conference during the day on Friday Feb 19th, not the travel show for regular consumers like you and me that runs from the evening of Friday, February 19 to …
