Date: October 14th, 2008 | No Comments
The words “Road Trip” conjure up images of summertime, wide open spaces and possibly a mildly trashy movie. It’s been a few years for me, the last being a road trip down memory lane with Sean to Yellowstone National Park, revisiting the sites that helped us shape the original idea of BootsnAll.

Joey is in the midst of his RTW trip, and has paused long enough to post some good advice for all of us - “Don’t rent motorbikes if you aren’t experienced.” He lived through the ordeal, but will have scars to show off for [...]

People who are seasoned travelers tend to be methodical about packing - even if they’re last-minute packers, there are things that go in their bags that they’d never think of leaving home without. But what about the carry-on? What goes in your carry-on bag?

Those of you who read the BootBlog may remember my recent musings on how online friends become real-life friends.

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 …
