Chef teaches cooking in Wisconsin forests

Have you ever considered the possibility of learning how to cook in the middle of a forest? Well, the concept is already a reallityand it is possible that you learn it in the Wisconsin forests with a very experienced chef that will show you the secrets behind cooking. Below is the msnbc.com article telling you the whole story with full detail:

"

WEST BEND, Wis. - As more travelers show an interest in local cuisines, a Milwaukee chef is taking the trend a bit further with a cooking school that travels to the food's origins.

The Braise Culinary School holds classes on farms and in forests during warm months. Most classes start with a farm tour — or recently, a walk in the woods — so students can see how food grows before they learn to prepare it.

"The idea, basically, is to reconnect people to their food," chef and owner David Swanson said.

He came up with the idea while working on a business plan for a restaurant and attached cooking school.

"One question that I would think that would come up is: 'Where is this food coming from?'" Swanson said. From there, it was a short jump to offering classes — sometimes literally — in the field.

Swanson, 39, worked in restaurants in the Chicago area and Milwaukee for about 20 years before opening the cooking school in 2006. Since then, he has cooked in apple orchards, wheat fields and breweries. This year's first class began with a mushroom hunt in woods near the University of Wisconsin-Washington County.

Swanson partnered on the class with Britt Bunyard, a mycologist and editor of Fungi magazine. Bunyard led about two dozen people through woods and clearings he had scouted the day before.

"There's no need to run from spot to spot," Bunyard said: Dozens of morels were waiting to be picked.

Gail Groenwoldt, 39, of Milwaukee, signed up for the hunt after seeing morels priced at nearly $50 a pound in her grocery store. During the hunt, she also spotted ramps. A side order of the onion-like plant cost her more than $20 in a Milwaukee restaurant.

"This is why we should learn to forage," Groenwoldt said.

After the hunt, Swanson sauteed morels, ramps, asparagus and potatoes and then added veal stock to make a vegetable ragout. The cooking lesson, Groenwoldt said, was "a treat."

Sara Wong, 33, also from Milwaukee, has taken Indian, sushi and Thai cooking classes. On a trip to Vietnam, she ate dog.

Cannes has a lot to offer

Do you only know Cannes for its famous film festival event? The truth is that Cannes has much more to offer us! In fact, the beaches are really fascinating, there is also the possibility of shopping in the city, amongst many other activities as you may read on the msnbc.com article below:

"

By Bob Tourtellotte

CANNES, France - For more than 60 years this sunny town on the Mediterranean in the south of France has lured glamorous stars of cinema to its annual film festival.

But it has a history dating back to 2nd Century B.C. as a fishing village and later a trade center. The British, French and Spanish have waged war to control it. Today it is a tourist town on the famed French Riviera.

It is a great, but expensive, weekend getaway of sun and sightseeing and the ideal place from which to embark on a tour of the Provence region, famous for its food and wine.

There are plenty of fine hotels, including the Carlton, Majestic and Martinez, along the famed Croisette, a boulevard and broad walkway that border the sandy beach. Many smaller hotels also offer good service at an affordable price.

FRIDAY

6 p.m.: After unpacking, take a stroll up the Croisette, stopping for a snack or light meal at one of the numerous outdoor cafes and restaurants which are perfect for watching people, street performers, dancers and mimes.

Boats bob in the bay, and on la plage many of the restaurants and nightclubs pulsate with loud music until the early morning hours.

SATURDAY

11:00: The Cote d'Azur is a playground for the rich and famous who rarely rise early. After breakfast of croissants and coffee or tea, put on your swim trunks or bikini and head off for a day at the beach.

There are free public beaches, as well as many private ones where you can rent a chair, towels and an umbrella. Generally associated with a restaurant on the beach, they offer full meals. Rent chairs for the day.

1:00: Enjoy a lunch of salad and grilled fish and a bottle local rose wine at L'Ondine for 71 euros ($99).

3:00: Time for some shopping. The Croisette is lined with boutiques of famous designers, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Hermes and Gucci. Two blocks into the town's maze of small streets is the Rue d'Antibes, where more moderate priced retailers like Benetton, Diesel and Missoni have set up shop, alongside art galleries, home design stores and the occasional pharmacy.

8:00: Just as Cannes rises late, dinner also takes place well into the evening. Try the Italian restaurant La Libera, at 17 Rue de Commandant Andre for a meal of antipasto, risotto, lasagna, red wine and a light dessert and coffee for 100 euro ($140).

10:00: Take a late-night stroll up the Croisette before heading back to the hotel.

SUNDAY

9:00: After breakfast, it is time to see the sights. Walk to the city's old section, the Suquet, which dates to before the 10th Century. The streets are cobbled and wide enough only for foot traffic. Apartments with balconies and iron railings line the streets and inexpensive shops and restaurants abound.

If you're luck you may run into an outdoor arts and crafts fair with everything on sale from paintings, jewelry and glassware to local foods and antique woodworking tools. At the top of a hill overlooking the bay is an ancient monastery that provides a glimpse into Cannes' history.

Leaving the hilltop history, walk to the Cannes harbor pier, where for 11 Euro ($15) for adults (5.50 euro for children) you can board a ferry for a 15-minute ride past million dollar yachts to the island of Saint Marguerite.

On the island is old Fort Royal, again overlooking the bay. For a time, the infamous Man in the Iron Mask was imprisoned on Sainte Marguerite, but now its many footpaths, open glades and beaches are used for daytrips by locals and tourists.

1:00: Stop for a lunch of pizza, salad and a small bottle of rose wine at one of the two cafes. Or like many of the locals pack your own lunch and enjoy a picnic and take in the sun on the beach or craggy rocks. Stroll around the island and stop under shady pine trees to rest, relax and even take a nap.

7:00: Dine at the Le Mesclun restaurant where you can enjoy aperitifs and a four-course meal of salads, soups, meats, dessert and coffee. The meal will cost about 300 euro ($420) but it offers a chance to sample Cannes at its best.

Pets can travel with you now

While the effects of the current recession may be extremely dangerous to many families, the truth is that many companies end up having to addopt new strategies in order to attract more clients. Keeping this in mind, you can now take pets with you if you pay an extra fee as you may read on the msnbc.com article below:

"

DALLAS - Southwest Airlines Co., which has bashed competitors for charging fees, said Friday it will add new fees for passengers who bring small pets onboard and for unaccompanied minors.

It will also raise the charge for checking a third piece of luggage or an overweight bag.

Other airlines have raised hundreds of millions of dollars since last year with new fees that include charges for checking one or two pieces of luggage and talking to reservations agents on the phone.

Southwest fired back by spending heavily on television commercials that blasted other airlines for charging "hidden fees." Southwest officials said they were winning customers turned off by the new bag fees.

On Friday, Southwest officials defended their own new fees, which Chief Executive Gary Kelly called "just the starting point" for more changes later this year.

"It is always our goal to be upfront with our customers and to set the right customer expectations," Kelly said. "Our changes today associate a charge for items that are truly an extra service."

Southwest has lost money the last three quarters, and it has joined all other airlines in searching for new revenue, a job made more difficult by a downturn in travel during the recession.

Southwest already charges for checking three or more pieces of luggage and for cocktails, and it is testing onboard Internet access for a fee. Kelly hinted last month that new fees were coming, while insisting they wouldn't be "hidden," by which he seemed to mean fees on first and second checked bags.

"It's disingenuous on our part to say that there are no, quote, fees," Kelly said last month. "We just try to be as honest and straightforward and have the right expectation with our customers on fees as we can."

Big Ben's 150th anniversary

Are you going to travel to the UK in the upcoming days? If that's the case,then you may be lucky enough to be a witness of the 150th Big Ben anniversary that is gong to be ringed by the Big Ben itself! Below is another msnbc.com article telling you the whole story:

"

LONDON - Defiantly low-tech yet accurate to the second, Big Ben is having its 150th birthday Sunday, its Victorian chimes carrying the sound of Britain into the 21st century.

It's a birthday the world can share in. The peals of London's favorite clock are carried globally by BBC radio, and its 315-foot tower, roughly 16 stories, is the city's most famous landmark.

But getting inside and seeing Big Ben, the sonorous main bell that gives its name to the whole contraption, isn't easy. Security measures mean few are granted admission, and there's no elevator, so those who are escorted in must climb 334 winding limestone stairs.

Catherine Moss, who took journalists on a pre-anniversary tour, said that in one year as a Big Ben guide, she had climbed the height of Everest three times over.

"It's my own private step machine," the trim-looking 51-year-old called down from the top of the tower.

No special events are planned, aside from an exhibition opening Sept. 19 in the nearby parliamentary offices.

Although the tan-colored tower above the Houses of Parliament is covered in a riot of gilt crowns, sculpted masonry and coats of arms, the interior looks functional. The 14 foot-long minute hand casts a faint shadow over the pale white glass of the dial. The 5.6 ton clock mechanism, like a giant wristwatch, is wound three times a week. In the age of atomic clocks, its near-perfect time is regulated by heavy old pennies laid on or removed from the pendulum.

The chimes, supposedly based on four notes from Handel's "Messiah," ring out every quarter hour from the intricately ornamented belfry. The bongs of Big Ben itself are heard every hour.

Silence at nine
It is rare — and a matter of citywide consternation — for the clock to go mute. But wars and accidents happen. Initial construction was one disaster after another, and in 1916 the chimes were stopped for two years lest they guide German bomber zeppelins to the parliament building.

Carried on BBC radio since 1924, the chimes took on added significance in World War II. Every night Britons observed a minute's silence as the clock struck nine. It was called the Big Ben Minute. Even as German bombs fell and air raid sirens howled, Big Ben's voice was heard.

The solemn chimes were a metaphor for Britons unflappable under fire, says Tam Dalyell, 76, a former lawmaker.

"It's defiant," Dalyell said in a telephone interview from his home in Scotland. "It's a sign of confidence and undaunted spirit."

On the night of May 10, 1941, an air raid wrecked the parliament building, sending up flames as high as the belfry. A small explosive shattered the clock's south dial and damaged stonework, but the clock didn't skip a second.

Its durability was "as great a boost to the morale of the British people as the speeches of Winston Churchill," according to Peter MacDonald, the author of "Big Ben: The Bell, the Clock and the Tower."

Moss, the tour guide, said she sees it in the faces of Blitz survivors who visit the tower.

Finding the best car dealers in Utah

Have you ever been to Cleveland before?

Even knowing that Cleveland is the city of LeBron James and people just seem to respect it for that fact, it is normal that many Youtube videos make fun of the city and show its current social trends in a sarcastic way! Still, Cleveland society is already fighting back. Below you may find the msnbc.com article telling you the whole story with further detail:

"

CLEVELAND - Come to Cleveland, where the economy is based on LeBron James, the streets are filled with drifters and broken-down homes can be had for the price of a VCR.

A comedian's sarcastic YouTube music videos trashing Cleveland have so unnerved tourism officials that they asked residents to fire back with videos of their own showing the city is not really the "Mistake on the Lake."

But take it easy, Cleveland. Mike Polk, 31, a hometown comic and video producer, said his two videos — which also maligned the city for such things as its abandoned buildings and polluted waters — were all in fun.

"I don't really believe all of the fish in Lake Erie have AIDS," said Polk, whose YouTube contribution to Cleveland's inferiority complex landed him a job judging the mostly feel-good contest videos.

The winner of the contest sponsored by the city's travel promotion agency, Positively Cleveland, will be announced Thursday.

Entries had to cost $2 or less to produce; be 2 minutes long, tops; and highlight favorite spots and the "unexpected side of the area about which tourists may not be aware."

The winner gets a Cleveland travel package, including a stay in a downtown hotel, dinner and passes to attractions.

Polk's favorite spots? The Playhouse Square theater district and corner music clubs.

But there's another inescapable part of Cleveland, including a dwindling population, shrinking manufacturing base, a high poverty rate and rampant foreclosures. Polk hits on many of the anti-highlights in the bare-knuckle video:

• Its manufacturing might? "Here's the place were there used to be industry," the song says against a backdrop of urban desolation.
• The resilient blue-collar population? "Cleveland leads the nation in drifters," the video warns.
• The city's economy? It's based on the Cavaliers' James, Most Valuable Player in the NBA.

Positively Cleveland played off Polk's "Hastily Made" video title with a "Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Video Contest" and paid homage to Polk and "this video making the rounds out there. ... You know who you are, funny guys."

Samantha Fryberger, who promotes the city as director of communications for Positively Cleveland, said there were no hard feelings about Polk's video ribbing.

"We thought we would not get defensive about it," she said Wednesday. "We're not mad about it; we're just going to have a little fun with it."

Clevelanders unhappy that Polk knocked the city are silly to suggest he shouldn't point out shortcomings, he said.

"I love the city and or else I would have left a long time ago," he said. "But I'm also realistic and I'm not going to pretend like there aren't a lot of negatives around here."

Still, Polk offered Cleveland a glimmer of hope, ending one video with the chant: "We're not Detroit."

Home accessories

Today is renewal day...

As a traveler who has already been to an amazing number of American cities, the truth is that I am quite aware of the differences between the buildings and its concepts in every city. As a matter of fact, I use to spend some days in the summer to get new home accessories so that I can renew the concept of my own house!

"Top secret" beaches in the USA

Even if you have never heard about them or dreamed with them, the true is that many islands in the USA offer some of the most amazing beaches in the whole world! In fact, there are some that don't require a plane or a boat to be reached! Below is another msnbc.com article givin your further details:

"

By Joe Yogerst

You come across three humpback whales on the ferry to Santa Cruz Island from the California mainland. Not the least bit troubled by our presence, they let you glide almost within touching distance before thrusting their tails out of the water and diving.

And so it goes on an isle that conjures California’s distant past, an American version of the Galapagos that harbors more than 700 species of plant and animal life. Pods of dolphins, sea lions basking on the stony shore; bright orange garibaldi and colonies of starfish inside half-submerged caves that can only be reached by kayak. The only thing missing are the Chumash Indians who lived here until well into the Spanish period.

Secluded, exotic, remote islands ... in the U.S.? You may not realize it, but America is full of gorgeous islands, some of them reachable only by plane or boat and others surprisingly close at hand. Some have never been settled and others support thriving little communities. But all are places where you can chill out for a long weekend or maybe even the rest of your life.

Like Santa Cruz, some islands are nature havens. The ancient boreal forest on Michigan’s Isle Royale supports the sort of creatures that once roamed the entire Great Lakes region—moose, beaver, lynx and wolves. Hiking trails and water routes link primitive campgrounds that seem more like the Yukon then somewhere within a few hundred miles of Chicago.

Alaska’s Kodiak may be the second largest island in the U.S. (after Hawaii’s Big Island), but the vast chunk of wilderness is virtually uninhabited. More than half the isle falls within the giant Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, home to the indigenous Kodiak brown bear who fish for salmon along more than a hundred streams.

At the opposite end of the spectrum are posh private island resorts of the sort you expect in the South Pacific or Caribbean rather than right off the American mainland. Florida’s Little Palm Island is like a Jimmy Buffett song come to life, cheeseburgers in paradise and margaritas all day long — although Kobe beef and Veuve Clicquot are also on the menu.

Developers tried turning South Carolina’s Daufuskie into a private island resort, but were largely rebuffed by island residents, who have fought a long and often contentious battle to save their palmetto paradise. The one exclusive gated community that did get built shares the rustic landfall with around 200 ordinary islanders, a mixed bag of artists and writers, fishermen and misfits who spurn the outside world. Singer John Mellencamp owns land on Daufuskie and is reportedly building a home.

Bygone island lifestyles are also making a stand on Sapelo off the Georgia coast. All of the island’s longtime residents trace their roots to African slaves who were brought to the island after the American Revolution to work the rice, indigo and cotton plantations. After the Civil War, they lived in seclusion for more than a century, blending African and American customs into a unique “Geechee” culture that still exists. Even today, the people of Sapelo live largely off the natural bounty of the island and surrounding waterways, allowing them to remain totally off the radar.

Important passport updates

Do you love technology? Even if you don't, you will have to accept the fact that it is deeply embedded in our society and our passports are the next victims of that. In fact, there are many changes currently being studied by the government to apply to the new passports and regulations. Read the msnbc.com article below and be one of the first to know how it all works:

"

By Rob Lovitt


The document clock is ticking.

Come June 1, you’re going to need a passport (or other government-approved document) to enter the United States, regardless of where you’re coming from, where you call home or what mode of transportation you’re using.

Unless, that is, you don’t.

Between little-publicized loopholes and last-minute legislative efforts, the new rules not only include exceptions but are also part of a process that’s seen more flip-flops than a shift lead in a sandal factory. And at the risk of belaboring the analogy, there’s still time for another shoe to drop.

The bottom line is that determining what ID to carry the next time you cross the border is not unlike shopping for shoes: one size clearly doesn’t fit all.

WHTI: Five years and counting
It’s been a long, tortuous path since the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) was unveiled back in 2004. As part of the proposal, a birth certificate and driver’s license would no longer be considered valid ID for travelers (including U.S. citizens) returning from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda or the Caribbean. Instead, a passport or other “WHTI-compliant” document would be required.

In the years since, the regulations have spawned angry debates, much confusion and a series of deadlines and delays that have exacerbated both. It all came to a head in 2007 when the Passport Office found itself swamped with applications in advance of the then-pending January 2008 deadline. Amid horror stories of months-long delays and missed vacations, Congress voided that deadline and set the current date of June 1, 2009.

That deadline once appeared to be in question. In March, Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.) stated that although she supports the initiative’s intent, she doesn’t believe the necessary infrastructure is in place to implement it successfully. Raising concerns about chaos at the border and a further decline in cross-border tourism and commerce, she’s planning to introduce legislation that will postpone the impending deadline until June 1, 2010.

Would you like to enjoy more weeks of vacation?

When considering what you would like to see changed in the USA, what would first come to your mind? Personally, I believe that enjoying more free weeks is definitely what sounds best for me and that's exactly what Switzerland seems to deffent too as you may see on the msnbc.com article below:

"

BERN, Switzerland - Work got you down? Just take more vacation.

That's the idea behind a referendum that Swiss citizens will have a chance to vote on after a campaign group collected 125,000 signatures demanding a minimum of six weeks paid vacation each year.

The group, Travail.Suisse, says the minimum needs to be raised from the current four weeks of holiday because stress at the workplace has risen dramatically in recent years.

It called Tuesday for more investment in health and recuperation from the rigors of labor. It said more vacation days would enhance the productivity and motivation of workers.

A date for the vote has yet to be announced.

Taking the kids to the ski country during the summer

When you try to take your kids to the ski countries during the summer season, they will almost definitely show their desagreement by saying: "No!" but that is the normal reaction from any kid. Anyway, if you have decided to go to the ski countries during the summer, then you definitely need to have a look at the msnbc.com article below and see how you can make it all easier:

Got the M&Ms?

Wherever we hike in the mountains, a little chocolate therapy does wonders when the kids are tired and the adults are cranky. Hand out a sweet treat and those vistas — fields of wildflowers, craggy peaks — are guaranteed to seem that much more spectacular whether you are on foot, mountain bikes or riding a ski resort chair lift.

Yes, ski resorts in summer. They might just be the best vacation value going in this summer of great vacation values. Ski instructors around the country whisper that they came to the mountains for the snow but stayed — raising kids in ski towns — because of the glorious mountain summers. There is so much to do — everything from whitewater rafting to free concerts, mountain biking to camping and alpine slides. And it's so cheap! Lodging can be more than 50 percent less than what it is in winter, says Dan Sherman of ski.com, which has just launched summermountaintravel.com. You can even snare a deal on a luxury resort.

If tony Aspen and Vail were out of reach last winter, now's your chance. In fact, to encourage families to visit in summer, for the first time, Vail Resorts has launched all-inclusive summer vacations complete with airport pickup, guided hikes, mountain picnics, visits to Rocky Mountain National Park and even a parents night out. Also check out vailallthelove.com for more deals on everything from lodging to restaurants to shopping.

Book three nights and get a fourth free at many Aspen hotels — along with a coupon book good for discounts at everything from admission to the Aspen Music Festival (where kids 17 and under are free this summer) to two-for-one rock climbing and even a free candy bar from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. I especially like the newly renovated Limelight Lodge. Right in downtown Aspen, the Limelight has been owned by the same family for more than 50 years. If you are looking for an adventure with your kids, you can hike and stay at some of the 29 backcountry 10th Mountain Huts or take a free guided hike atop Aspen Mountain with naturalists from the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies. The skateboarders in your gang will also love the Rio Grande Skate Park, considered one of the best in the country.

Don't forget ski resorts on the East and West Coasts either. Waterville Valley, N.H., — in the middle of 770,000 acres of the White Mountain National Forest — offers all-inclusive packages that start at just $45 a person a night, including golf, canoeing, and mountain bike lessons. And in Vermont — which is celebrating the Lake Champlain Quadracentenial with an array of special activities — Smugglers' Notch Resort has slashed summer prices by as much as 20 percent. Come in June and child care at its first-rate nursery is half off, too. In California, Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort offers the widest variety of mountain biking of any park in California — and lots of stay-and-bike packages.

Herman Miller Chairs

Namibia has a lot to offer us

When considering the most amazing countries to travel so that I can enjoy a safari, Nambia is definitely one of the first countries to come to my mind as the perfect destination when I am desperately looking for some adrenaline! What about you?
Below is another msnbc.com article giving you further detail on what you will get on your safari:

"

By Richard Alleman

Namibia came onto the pop-culture radar three years ago, when Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt stayed at a beach resort on the country’s Atlantic coast here while awaiting the birth of their third child. For many, it was the most they had ever heard about this southern African locale, which, it turns out, has a lot more going for it than a brush with Hollywood celebrity.

Namibia has been quietly coming into its own for more than a decade. In addition to spectacular landscapes — vast deserts with thousand-foot sand dunes and a coastline strewn with bleached whalebones and ancient shipwrecks — Namibia has some of the biggest yet least-known game parks in the world. The fourth-largest country in Africa (it’s twice the size of California, which means a flying safari is the best way to see its wonders), Namibia has one of the continent’s smallest populations but one of the highest literacy rates — and most stable democracies.

The country is delightfully unspoiled, and the government wants to keep it that way. Tourism here is low-key: the emphasis is on small, well-designed, environmentally sensitive lodges in remote areas of the country. The last decade, especially, has seen a number of exciting new properties make their debuts in remote areas of the country.

For instance, the Namib Desert — the second largest on the planet after the Sahara — runs for 1,200 miles along the entire Atlantic coast of the country. A decade ago, adventure-travel company Wilderness Safaris acquired a 90,000-acre spread adjacent to the colossal Sossusvlei sand dunes to create the Kulala Wilderness Reserve.

Repairing your car

While traveling all around the country with my car, the truth is that sometimes I was surprised with unexpected behaviors in some of the cities to where I have traveled. In fact, my car was damaged a few times and I really needed to repair it with the best professionals.

Personally, I believe that auto body shop corona is probably the best auto body shop that you will ever find. Moreover, the repairs are guaranteed for life, making sure that your car is protected and valuable in the future.

Top 5 travel fears

Do you travel very often? If that's the case, then the top 5 travel fears below won't be something that you also share. Anyway, if you are curious about which are the top travel fears of other people then you need to check the msnbc.com article just below and see how people are influenced by them:

"

Fear of flying
Hands down, this is the most common travel-related anxiety. Even though the odds of being killed in a plane crash are said to be 1 in 11 million, air travelers are made to feel they could be unlucky number 11 million every time their plane encounters unexpected turbulence. “While fear of flying makes some sense, because you’re out of control while you are soaring thousands of feet in the air, you are much safer in a plane that you are a car, or even walking,” says psychologist Elizabeth Lombardo, who is the author of the upcoming book “The Happiness Prescription.”

Bottom line: You’re likelier to drown in your bathtub. Worry about something else.

Fear of being away
That’s the second-biggest phobia that travelers suffer from, according to Bryan Toder, a hypnotherapist based in Lafayette Hill, Pa. “It’s the fear of being away from home. Being away from kids, pets, the job, creates lots of stress,” he says. Full disclosure: I’m afflicted by this particular anxiety. The uncertainty of being on the road keeps me home more than your average travel writer. Which is probably a good thing. Can you imagine what my columns would look like if I traveled all the time?

Bottom line: This one’s legit. Maybe we could all use a little hypnotherapy to get over it.

Fear of illness
Swine flu is just one of many infectious diseases that can sicken travelers. Our friends at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have a more comprehensive list. It’s nothing to sneeze at, especially for travelers like Pablo Solomon, a Lampasas, Texas-based artist, and a confessed “germaphobe.” “We carry hand wipes and wash our hands and walk out of restaurants that look less than clean,” he told me. “After years of finally getting where we were beginning to actually enjoy travel and not worry so much about germs, this swine flu attack occurs. Sort of like the buildup for Jaws 2: Just when you thought it was safe …”
msnbc.com travel teasers

Bottom line: Swine flu fears may be overblown, but some of these other infectious diseases are no joke. Better get all your shots.

Fear of a bad flight
Beverly Hills, Calif.-based psychiatrist Carole Lieberman describes this as more of an annoyance than a phobia, but who’s counting? “I'm annoyed that traveling has become such a hassle,” she says. “Being jostled through the security lines, poor quality food, delayed flights, dark and dingy terminals, and overcrowded airplanes.” If you suffer from the same phobia — uh, I mean, annoyance — you’re in good company. The U.S. Travel Association, a trade group for the travel industry, last year released a survey that found travelers avoided an estimated 41 million trips over the past 12 months at a cost of more than $26 billion to the U.S. economy.

Bottom line: Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Fear of losing your luggage
According to the latest numbers released by the Transportation Department, there’s a 1 in 285 chance of your luggage getting lost. Not all airlines are equal. Some, like AirTran, track their bags using new scanning technology, dropping the average closer to 1 in 500. Others, like regional carriers American Eagle, Atlantic Southeast and SkyWest, run at twice the industry average. “A lot of my clients travel for business and pleasure, and overwhelmingly their greatest rational fear is lost luggage,” says New York psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert “Many of them have experienced this and as a result the fear is grounded in reality and based on the stress of dealing with recovering the luggage.”

Bottom line: If you’re flying on a regional carrier, you might want to pack light.

How to get over these anxieties? My vote is for avoidance, but you already know that. Apparently, I’m wrong.

“Yes, avoidance reduces anxiety,” says Tracey Marks, an Atlanta-based psychiatrist. “But it reinforces the fear. Eventually, the avoidance makes the feared situation become a bigger monster that takes on a life of its own.”

In other words, get out and travel. It may be the best cure for your travel phobia.

Finding the perfect date for you

Even considering the fact that I am a businesswoman who tends to travel a lot, the truth is that I have many other passions such as tattoos. In fact, I have loads of them in my body but I could never find someone who loves them as much as I do!

Keeping this in mind, I was really excited when I first heard about a new online dating for tattoo singles where the tattoo lovers have the chance to meet someone that shares the same interests, making it possible to find the love of their lives much easily.

Comparing bus tickets when you travel

When traveling around the cities in the US, you will witness that the number of bus is so enourmous that we often have the chance to choose cheaper services that we have never heard about! Keeping this in mind, you may find a very useful website where you can compare prices on the msnbc.com article just below:

"

Intercity bus travel has taken off in the last few years. Now a new Web site makes it easier for riders to find their routes.

BusJunction.com works something like Expedia or Orbitz in the way it helps travelers find their way in a crowded market. But unlike those two popular airfare Web sites, BusJunction doesn't sell tickets; it steers its users right to the online ticketing on the bus companies' home pages. It's an aggregator of data, like Kayak.com, not a booking site.

This is a critical difference, according to Arthur Frommer, the venerable travel writer and a strong supporter of BusJunction. That way, the company stays independent from all its bus lines, and doesn't favor any bus company at the expense of customer choice, he said.

"They simply perform a journalistic function; they simply tell you what's available," said Frommer in a phone interview. "I find it reassuring that they have no axe to grind, they get no money out of the sale of their ticket."

BusJunction searches 12 premium bus lines, including Megabus, Boltbus, Vamoose, DC2NY, Fung Wah, and Greyhound. According to founder Matthew Keller, the DC-based company serves 31 cities in the East and Midwest and will find users an average ticket price of $25. The most popular destinations are Washington, Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston.

Before buying tickets, users of BusJunction.com can see which routes have amenities like onboard Wi-Fi and power outlets. The company focuses on premium lines and steers clear of lesser-known mom-and-pop operations that might not offer reliable service, said Keller.

"We wanted to get the bus lines that offer the most amenities, so that's the ones we're focusing on," said Keller. "There are a handful of (lines) who offer no amenities. There are certain bus lines that have questionable reputations. We're trying to steer our passengers away from those lines just to serve them better."

5 Important gadgets for summer car trips

When considering the summer car trips that we all love, the truth is that we often end up being bored if we don't take the best gadgets with us. Keeping this in mind, below is another msnbc.com article which will let you know which are the top 5 most recommended and cheap gadgets for us to take with us in our summer car trips:

"

NEW YORK - Dreading long car trips this summer? Here are five inexpensive things to can help keep the peace in the car and make the journey more interesting:

POIFriend
Jazz up your GPS unit with lists of extra Points of Interest you can download for free from this Web site. For instance, you can load the locations of all the restaurants featured in the "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" show on the Food Network, and all U.S. Wal-Mart and Starbucks locations. It's a bit cumbersome — you have to download the files to your computer, then transfer them to the GPS unit either via cable or a memory card.

Price: Free.

FM transmitter
Stream music from your MP3 player to the car radio with this simple add-on. Sound quality is not as good as you'll get when connecting to the stereo with a wire, but in a rental car, you may not have an alternative. If there's a cassette deck, you can use a cassette adapter instead, for slightly better sound.

Price: $20-$30

iPhone and iPod Touch apps for toddlers
Distract a young child for a while with "Spawn," where firework-light streamers of light react to the user's touch. "Bubbles" lets you drag across the screen to create bubbles, then pop them with a touch. "Preschool Music" lets a toddler tap out tunes on the screen. Headphones might be in order to spare the rest of the car.

Price: $1 per app.

Rechargable external battery pack
Cigarette-lighter adapters are a life-saver when it comes to keeping electronics running, but there's only one outlet for a family's dozen gadgets. Get a rechargable battery pack to power iPods, phones and game devices in the back seat. The crucial figure to look for is the pack's capacity, expressed in milliampere-hours. Some cheap ones have only 500 mAh capacity, half as much as the average cell-phone battery. Bigger ones have more than 3000 mAh, enough for three full charges of a cell phone.

Price: $15-$50.

Fresh games for the Nintendo DS
"Pokemon Platinum" is the latest and well-reviewed installment of a long-running series that requires thought and strategy. "Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time" has a cooperative multiplayer mode, so siblings can settle their differences and work together to overcome the game, but each one will need a DS and a copy of the game.

Price: $35-40.

"

The importance of a special cause

Even if you don’t travel all around the world and visit the poorest countries in the world, you still know that an increasing number of young children all across the world are facing many social problems such as extreme poverty, illnesses and a lot more! These children need our help and that’s exactly why www.ayuda-humanitaria.es is already spreading the word about this problem and initiated the important campaign by the name of “Paremos la pobreza infantil”, which counts with the support of the famous goalkeeper Iker Casillas and aims to stop poverty (or as Spanish would say: “parar la pobreza”.

Personally, I believe that humanitarian help (or “ayuda humanitaria” as Spanish people would say) is a priority in my life and I believe that everyone should do everything possible in order to help others. Moreover, this Spanish campaign is also based on a interesting idea of a wall (a “mural” as they would say) where users are given the chance to look for their own photo as soon as they get to take part in this important initiative.

So, if you live in Spain or if you are going to spend some time in that country, why don’t you consider the possibility of participating in this interesting campaign that will help hundreds of young children all across the world?

Cashing in on divorces

As you know, many people often marry and divorce because of money but as a woman I have never considered doing it! Anyway, the truth is that it is also possible to cash in on the divorces of other people surronding you... The msnbc.com article just below will show you how:

"

HOUSTON - Continental Airlines Inc. is suing nine pilots that it says got sham divorces so their ex-spouses could collect their retirement benefits while they kept flying.

The airline said the pilots concealed the divorces from children and friends, then remarried their spouses after getting the money.

The company said it paid out between $10 million and $11 million in suspicious pension distributions.

Eight of the pilots have been fired or quit, while one was rehired after he promised to pay back the retirement money, the airline said — although he too was named as a defendant after failing to repay. The spouses were also named as defendants.

The airline and the committee that runs its pilots' retirement plan filed the lawsuit Wednesday in federal district court in Houston.

Continental asked the court to order the pilots to return the money and to declare that the company was not violating anti-discrimination laws in firing the pilots.

Continental charged that the pilots — seven men and two women — tried to take advantage of a loophole in a major federal pension law that in cases of divorce allows payment of benefits before the worker retires.

The pilots divorced and then usually assigned all their benefits to their ex-spouses, who then got state courts to issue orders transferring pension benefits in a lump sum to the ex-spouses, the airline charged.

"The divorces ... were subterfuges or sham transactions" because the couples had no intention of breaking up but divorced only to collect pension benefits without the pilots retiring, the airline said.

The lawsuit suggested that the pilots acted because they were afraid of being hurt by turmoil in the airline industry.

Several airlines have terminated pension plans and turned them over to the federal Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp., and the Continental pilots might have feared the same thing could happen at the Houston-based carrier.

The average Continental pilot qualifies for up to $900,000 in a lump sum upon retirement, but the PBGC limits payments far below that level, and it makes annual payments rather than lump-sum distributions.

Continental said it began receiving "a significant number" of requests for lump-sum pension payouts to ex-spouses of working pilots beginning in late 2005, and by mid-2007 the airline learned that the couples usually remarried after getting the money.

Other pilots besides the nine named in the lawsuit apparently tried the same ploy, according to the lawsuit. In some cases, the company stopped payments before they were made.

Finding the perfect solutions for you in Spain

As a traveler who spends a lot of time in Europe but mainly in countries like France and Spain, the truth is that I am quite aware of the current financial trends and offers that citizens are given by the banks.

Personally, I would like to give special emphasis to one particular offer from Sabadell Atlántico Bank by the name of “conminominasi” which gives Spanish users free debit and credit cards, 3% cash back, free transfers and checks and many other advantages! In fact, for all my Spanish readers looking for the ultimate “nómina” solution, I would personally advise you to have a look at the website above as you may discover one of the best “nominas” solutions that any bank could ever offer. Moreover, if what you need is to make the “nómina” personal and manageable from your own house (in Spanish people would say “domiciliar nómina”), then you will be glad to know that with the Sabadell Atlántico Bank it is also possible and just a few clicks away from you!

So, if you live in Spain and would like to find the perfect “nómina” solution for you, then I would really advise you to take some of your time to browse the website to which I have linked above and see how the Sabadell Atlántico Bank may change your life.

European Union trying to crack down hidden airline fees

While most airline companies are facing some financial difficulties, the truth is that the European Union is already trying to crack down all the hidden fees that have made those airline companies survive over the past few months! What could this mean for travelers? Below is the msnbc.com article showing you all the consequences that you can expect thanks to this event:

"

BRUSSELS - The European Union says airline Web sites have fewer hidden prices and conditions than they did two years ago, making it easier for customers to find the best deals.

It says 115 of the 137 airline Web sites it investigated — after a preliminary screening of 447 sites — have cleared up misleading information and that 52 of 67 major airlines operating in the European Union now have a "clean bill of health."

EU Consumer Commissioner Meglena Kuneva said three major holdouts, KLM, Air France and British Airways, promised Thursday they would fall into line with the EU standards.

The standards have been agreed to with the airline industry. It is up to national authorities to impose penalties but the EU hopes public exposure will be the best deterrent to unsatisfactory practices.

Kuneva said several airlines did not cooperate with the EU Commission, including Aeroflot, Emirates, Northwest, Olympic Airlines and Turkish Airlines. "They never gave us a reply," she said.

Over the past two years, the EU has approached airlines and specialized Web sites to tackle "the plague of hidden charges, pre-ticked boxes and nasty surprises in the small print of airline Web sites," Kuneva said.

She said it was essential during the financial crisis to be able to pick the best deal available.

"Especially in these hard times, people need transparent prices. They need to be able to compare offers, shop around," she told reporters.

Customer complaints about misleading bargain fares triggered the probe, the EU said. Hefty charges and government taxes were often not part of the advertised price. Travel insurance is also sometimes be tacked on automatically before checkout.

Air travel has boomed in Europe in the past two decades as a wave of low-cost carriers has slashed prices and opened up new routes.

Where are you going this summer?

Even though the crisis is still affecting us all, the truth is that we can't live without the deserved holidays that we are all going to spend in a special country of the world, right? Keeping this in mind, where are you going to this summer? Below is another msnbc.com article showing you the current trends of most Americans:

"

NEW YORK - With the weather warming and gasoline costs dropping, Ken Hyman is looking forward to hitting the open road in his Mustang convertible as Americans head back to the highways in higher numbers this summer.

"You feel free," said Hyman, 67, who likes to wax nostalgic about the feeling of wind in his hair as he drives down the highway.

And he's not the only U.S. driver looking forward to holiday road travel this year.

AAA travel and auto group forecast a 1.5 percent rise in travel compared with 2008 for the U.S. Memorial Day weekend, the beginning of the traditional summer driving season.

The trend will likely continue during the major summer travel holidays of the Fourth of July and Labor Day as lower fuel prices reignite the American love affair with the open road, according to AAA.

"The good news is sharply lower gasoline prices and plentiful travel bargains have Americans feeling better about taking a road trip this summer," AAA President and Chief Executive Officer Robert Darbelnet said.

Lower gasoline prices, travel bargains and pent-up consumer demand will trump concerns about the recession during major holidays this summer, he said.

Approximately 32.4 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home during the three-day weekend that ends on Monday, May 25, up from 31.9 million last year.

The majority of Memorial Day travelers, 83 percent, will travel by car, while 7 percent will travel by air, and 10 percent will travel by other modes of transportation including rail, buses and watercraft.

Trips by automobile will increase 2.7 percent, from 26.3 million travelers last year, to 27 million this year as Americans take advantage of gasoline prices that are down nearly 40 percent from year-ago levels.

The national average U.S. retail gasoline price was $2.24 per gallon on Tuesday, according to AAA, down from $3.71 per gallon a year ago. The group has said it does not expect prices to rise above the $2.50 per gallon level this summer.

Cheap gasoline prices are the main reason Jessica Brady, a 27-year-old public relations specialist from Tampa, Florida, will take some weekend trips to local springs.

"These were some things that we didn't do last year because of gas prices," said Brady, who owns a gas-guzzling sports utility vehicle.

Well, you will be glad to know that it is now part of the history and one of the most charismatic symbols of the whole country! Below is the msnbc.com article giving you further detail on this:

"

LAS VEGAS - The iconic "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign is now officially a piece of national history.

Clark County officials on Thursday announced that the sign has gained listing on the National Register of Historic Places, to fit with the county's centennial celebration this year.

County Commission Chairman Rory Reid says the 50-year-old sign at the south end of the Las Vegas Strip is an important symbol, as well as the backdrop for untold thousands of tourist photographs.

The National Park Service designation became official on May 1.

The sign cost $4,000 in 1959 and was designed by Betty Whitehead Willis of Western Neon.

It was erected after a group of Strip hotel owners asked Clark County for a sign welcoming visitors to Las Vegas.

Less tourists traveling to USA

Have you ever wondered which would the consequences be for the current swine flu menacing the USA in the minds of the tourists? Well, you may have not noticed it yet but the true is that an increasing number of people is leaving the idea of traveling to USA thanks to that menace... Below is another msnbc.com article telling you how it all works:

"

WASHINGTON - Foreign travel to the United States is forecast to fall 8 percent in 2009, the U.S. Commerce Department said Wednesday, as the Senate voted to create a new travel promotion program.

Total visits to the United States from Canada, Mexico and overseas countries grew 3.7 percent in 2008 to 58 million, despite troubles in the U.S. housing market that spread economic turmoil worldwide.

The forecast prepared for the Commerce Department by IHS Global Insight Inc expects foreign travel to the United States to rebound 3 percent in 2010 and then increase 5 percent annually to a record 64 million visitors in 2013.

"The numbers are a reminder that while the current global economic climate is difficult, more business sectors, like travel and tourism, are seeing glimmers of hope on the horizon," U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said in a statement.

Meanwhile, the Senate voted unanimously on Wednesday to approve a bill to create an independent, nonprofit corporation to run a new travel promotion campaign.

Senator Bryon Dorgan, one of the bill's sponsors, said in a statement the program would be funded by a small fee paid by foreign travelers visiting the United States and matching contributions from the travel industry.

The House of Representatives would also have to pass the legislation for it to become law.

The importance of expedition gear when we travel
