Here were some of the comments: Christine: What I would like to see specifically is Travel Blogging… promoting a travel blog, social networking for travel, what works, what doesn’t etc. All that technical and marketing stuff that isn’t covered anywhere, unless you look at Problogger.net, but then it’s so general it doesn’t apply….

I’ll start with some of the things I want from an online travel community: More pageviews on our website More links in my website (yes these first two are obvious and self-serving, but also what we all want, so why not be frank with each other and get that out of the way) Interesting travel stories to read Tips and tricks for traveling New destination ideas People who will offer travel advice when I post a question (e.g., Janelle from IT is on the west coast this week and looking for ideas about where to go.

I have to admit, when I first read about major U.S. airlines putting ads on boarding passes when passengers print them at home, my first thought was not, “Will they stop short of nothing to convince me to buy more stuff?”… If anything, the result will be a positive one — the airlines will generate more revenue this way, and have to rely less on luggage fees and hiking ticket prices.

Tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers and citizens are removing algae from the sea where Olympic sailors will compete, according to an AP article. The algae is getting stuck in the boats’ rudders.
Is it just me, or does this sounds like an awful idea? Apparently the algae covers 1/3 of the sea. I’m not an [...]

It’s hard to know for sure when you’ll get the best deal on a plane ticket, even with sites like FareCompare and Farecast, which help out by showing you flight price histories.
But Price Assurance from Orbitz, announced last week, makes booking with confidence much easier. After you book your flight, Price Assurance guarantees that if [...]

After several weeks in Alaska and Canada–traveling by air, land, and sea– we’re back. Watch for some informative and story-filled posts about our adventures of the past few weeks.
Gotta love going from 70 degree days in the fresh mountain air to the (slightly) smoggy 90 degrees in the swamp that is DC… Though, [...]

There’s nothing I enjoy more than getting an email like this in my inbox:
I’ve been lurking Go Green Travel for some time and love it. We share many of the same ideals. Also, as a side note. Your blog saved me nearly $400. My partner and I were booking airfare [...]
