It sounds tempting. You’ve been invited to a seminar that promises a free vacation for listening to a presentation on discount travel services. The enticement is that you can become a "travel agent" with "credentials" that will permit you to travel at free or reduced fares.

Can the right ID card convince airlines, hotels and other travel services to give you a discount?

The Mountain States Better Business Bureau and the American Society of Travel Agents warn consumers not to be misled by travel card "mills" and other questionable discount travel service operations. The travel industry has become more vigilant in clamping down on those using card mill credentials. Furthermore, promises of "industry insider" travel discounts do not always materialize. Some of the advertised prices are available to all travelers, and some hotels and airlines will not honor the card when presented for a discount or upgrade.

Destination Spotlight: Fun, Sun and Elation in San Diego

San Diego by night

West coast vacationers hoping to hop a slow boat to a tropical paradise are in luck! Effective June 2007, Carnival "Elation" will move her homeport to San Diego, California. Not only does this mean an additional departure destination for cruisers, it also provides the opportunity for pre- and post-cruise getaways in an exciting city.

Heading To Mickey's House

So I am headed to Orlando next week on business and believe it or not it is my first trip to the tourism mecca of the US. I am looking for advice from those who have been on some great places to eat and fun things to do (outside of Disney...since this is my first trip I will not be taking in Disney as I want to share that experience with my wife). So post a comment to this article if you have a favorite place to eat or a cool escape.

Qantas Wins This Family Over!

Kim and I and the boys spent Christmas with Kim's family in Toronto. We then decided that a start up in a foreign land wasn't hard enough so felt that flying 29 hours door to door to visit my family in Sydney was the perfect way to see out 2006, welcome in 2007 and really test the efficacy of Gravol and Dimetapp.
To all in rows 23 to 28 on the Toronto to LA leg - apologies. And to those in rows 53 to 56 on the LA - Sydney leg - again, if we could compensate you, we would. In all seriousness, the kids did great.

Finland, Finland Finland...

Beautiful Helsinki

As the capital of Finland, Helsinki offers countless ways to spend your holiday: it is, for instance, a centre of artistic culture in Scandinavia, with a number of museums and galleries to visit. It also affords various settings for visitors to enjoy; from a remarkable cityscape to natural parks and preserves. However, despite its large size, Helsinki is an intimate city - and while it is carries a lively atmosphere, it's not particularly bustling. This makes the city particularly easy to walk around and so enjoy its various attractions, cafés and marketplaces at leisure. It's also an ideal holiday destination for individuals, couples and families. Boasting such attractions as the Linnanmäki amusement park, the Merimaailma Sea Life aquarium and the Korkeasaari Helsinki Zoo, children - as well as adults - can take delight in Helsinki's countless splendours.
