Wanted: Vitamin D
Date: January 25th, 2010 |
It’s about this time every year that we find ourselves dreaming of a winter getaway. The excitement of the holidays are over, the next three day weekend is months off, and summer seems years away (and yes, I realize that’s not a logical thought).
What to do? Well I’m always inclined to find a deal, [...]
Romantic Getaways for Valentine’s Day
Date: January 20th, 2010 |
True story. In November, a group of BootsnAll staffers were sitting around a table trying to make a list of holidays coming up for which we needed to line up material for our sites. We jotted down the biggies - Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years - and then paused. I jumped right ahead to Memorial Day, [...]

Date: December 8th, 2009 |
I know I sound like everyone else this time of year, but I seriously can’t believe it’s December. I have clear memories of the 2008 BootsnAll party - so clear that it feels like it was yesterday - even though it’s the 2009 party that was just this past weekend. Time is flying, and I’m [...]

Date: November 18th, 2009 |
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 |
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 [...]

Date: November 4th, 2009 |
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 [...]

To say that I love Italy is a bit of an understatement, and I consider myself extraordinarily fortunate that I get to write about Italy as much as I do for work. But people who know my Italy writing are sometimes surprised to hear that I write about other things for work, too. No, really, [...]
[read more]A Visit to the Philippines: Good for You, Good for Them
Date: June 3rd, 2009 |
I’m a Europhile. I have always had (and probably will always have) a major crush on Europe, despite the fact that for years she’s sapped my bank account dry for even the shortest of trips. I’m enjoying a trip to Italy right now that’s a helluva lot cheaper than other recent trips to Italy have [...]

RyanAir: €10 flights to the US
Date: November 3rd, 2008 |
Though profits are down, Ryanair’s plan to turn that around is to buy more planes and offer cheaper fares, including €10 economy flights to the US from England & Ireland. Passengers will still have to pay taxes so I would expect those fares to still be over €100, but that’s still a great deal. The [...]

One of the things that tends to happen when I talk to people about my job at BootsnAll is the, "Oh, you're so lucky!" moment. I do consider myself extremely fortunate to be able to write about travel every day - to do something I love so much that work doesn't feel …

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]
Events
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 …
