Travel Blog to Watch: One Year on Earth
Date: August 24th, 2007 | 1 comment
You know all those times when you find a really cool blog about a RTW trip, but the traveler is already midway through the trip so you have to spend inordinate amounts of time (at work, let’s be honest) catching up to then read along in real time? While it’s fun to have that kind [...]

This is an amazing Vietnam tour that BootsnAll offers in our adventure travel section. It’s 22-day adventure trip in Vietnam, traveling from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi - cycling, caving, boating, trekking and cultural homestays. It’s definitely for adventurers.

Those of you who read the BootBlog may remember my recent musings on how online friends become real-life friends. What some of you who read that article may not know is that I heard from several BootsnAll members after it was published who said, "Yeah, that's interesting and all, but we've been doing that for years now." And it's … [Read more]

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 …
