Book Lower Travel
There is so much bombardment of advertising on which airline is offering the lowest fares and why you should use their services to book your travel. However, it all comes down to where you can book lower travel and be able to get good customer service with your purchase.
Years ago you would go into a brick and mortar travel agency to book your travel, but the Internet has taken over the face of travel today. What this means is that you no longer are able to sit face to face with someone or make that last minute phone call to get more details. Only a few online travel agencies offer their customers the added phone service. “Book your travel and forget it,” seems to be the mantra for most online travel agencies. In other words, you are on your own after you make that online purchase.

Tempted To Cruise Through Life?
Cruise is a relaxing word. You imagine deck chairs, ocean breezes - and no responsibilities. The word lets your thoughts drift at sea - unless you’re my husband.
John feels confined on ships, he feels confined in the tuxedo he’s expected to wear to formal dinners on board and he can’t be conned into feeling fine about it.
When in doubt - or you can’t get your way - compromise. We compromised by sailing on a small ship - eighty passengers, casual dress and one seating for meals with a set menu.

Travel Travails - Confiscated Carry-ons On Sale
If you’ve ever lost knitting needles, pocket sewing kits, corkscrews or all-in-one tools to the airport security checkpoint, here’s a way to get it back. Well maybe.
Despite 9/11, more and more traveler’s are losing a grip on their goods. The TSA has devised a way to profit from your loss, however small. The confiscated items are sent to various state warehouses to be either reclaimed or sold. However, this isn’t exactly news. The Unclaimed Baggage Center has been selling lost luggage in Alabama for years. It was even featured on Oprah. It just warms my heart to know that someone may be bidding on my too tight shoes (but they were cute), old undies and brand new bathing suit.
