Travel, Cruise

Russian inventors have finally solved the problem of the heavy, unwieldy suitcase. They have produced the first smart suitcase that will follow the owner through the airport. (They’re still working on the photo of it.)
The tech geeks at Robotronic have been more into robotic dogs and dinosaurs in the past, but have finally put their […]

Now that the WGA picket lines have been going strong almost two weeks and production on current series is stopping, stars beholden to their shows’ writers might need to get into another line of work. That’s why Eva Longoria is following in the footsteps of Justin Timberlake and spending her hours off the “Desperate Housewives” […]

USA3000 doesn’t want to be left out of the Thanksgiving celebrations far and wide so they’re offering $10.00 off one way (yup, that  adds up to a $20.00 savings per person on a round trip purchase) on all of their scheduled destinations. This is valid for all travel through August 30, 2008!  You must make […]

There is a heap of talk these days about the huge costs of fuel and how that’s a great excuse for airlines to charge us more (even if they’re wasting their own fuel like British Airways, flying empty planes between the UK and the US just to retain landing spots).

Even the most organized traveler, that person in your life who seems able to pack and go in absolute comfort every single time doesn’t have it all.

What museum might someday feature your father’s collection of toenail clippings?
Our best guess is the American Folk Art Museum in Midtown New York, whose permanent 4,000-piece collection includes a five-foot tower of TV dinner chicken bones all eaten and glued together by the same man, Eugene Von Bruenchenhein.
What is folk art? Well, a lot of […]

As if we needed any more news to convince us that Chuck Ogilvie is the face of Airline 2.0, he and the rest of Virgin America have just inked a deal with RCRD LBL to provide bleeding edge music, exclusively programmed for the airline. Not to be overlooked is the fact that RCRD LBL’s CEO […]

Today’s the third Thursday in November, which means the corks come out of the world’s most overrated vino today. Beaujolais Nouveau has already touched down in Japan, where true wine fans aren’t just drinking the stuff, their swimming in it.
The Yunessun Spa Resort in Hakone is one of many hot springs-fed resorts in Kanagawa. Its […]
