Private jets don't immediately say costing cutting and being 'green.'  Here's an entry that shows someone's looking into this.

It's a simple idea: Sharing the flight with others reduces the number of jets in the air and the impact on our environment. It also saves everyone time and money.

Tired of paying hundreds of dollars for a ticket to an event?  Check out free festivals like this one - the Edinburgh Fringe.

What’s on in Edinburgh this August? What isn’t! The Scottish city really gets festive in August 2009, with a jam-packed line-up of events in Edinburgh. First up, there’s the Fringe, a celebration of up-and-coming music, drama, dance and comedy – the largest arts festival in the world and the number one tourist attraction in Britain. Then there’s the International Book Festival, the Jazz and Blues Festival, Foodies at the Fringe…the list of Edinburgh events is exhausting!

Ever have a great travel song that whenever you hear it, you're reminded of that weekend in Paris?  Here's a list of 30 great songs that you must have on your list.

Summer's here. While fewer of us will be worrying about the logistics of passport renewal than usual due to the inclement fiscal forecast, we can at least evoke some of the spirit of exotic holidays past. Qualification: not travelling or holiday songs per se, but must include at least an allusion, or titular reference, to tourism.

Tahiti is a dream vacation for many, not just sailors.  But sailors have a great time there as well as there are many activities available for the sailor in you.

 We are in paradise -- really. The fish literally eat out of our hands, the water is so clear I can see seashells in the sand six feet below us and the island nearby is ringed by lush, green trees, some dripping with exotic fruits.

We are following our catamaran captain Turo Ariito around a tiny motu (islet) off the Tahitian island of Taha'a to some of the best snorkeling we've ever enjoyed. The coral garden teems with fish -- striped banner fish, long skinny trumpet fish, parrotfish, triggerfish, a barracuda and big ugly eel -- that eat the scraps of day-old baguettes (we are in French Polynesia, after all).

When you think of Ecuador, not much really comes to mind.  However, there are many reasons to go, from ancient ruins to wildlife viewing, Ecuador could be your destination.

Ecuador is a fascinating country of varied topography and climates. In the space of two hours, one can go from high volcanic mountains to lush jungle vegetation with winding rivers. And then, of course, there is the famous bird habitat of the Galápagos Islands.

I had been to Ecuador twice before, but when Nova Southeastern University professor Barry Barker, representing the Wild Spots Foundation (Fort Lauderdale, FL; 954/816-1974, www.wildspotsfoundation.org), proposed an inexpensive March ’08 trip that included an opportunity to interact with animals and visit some remote indigenous areas, I jumped at the chance.

The original trip was for seven days, departing from Miami for Quito, the capital, then continuing on to the San Martín suburb of Baños in the Amazonia Cloud Forest. After doing some research, I decided to do a 3-night pretrip extension to the ancient city of Cuenca, located close to the Inca ruins of Ingapirca. Another member of the tour group would join me.

While the airlines are clamping down on many things and charging for most, even your pet isn't immune to getting caught up in the economic downturn.

A number of airlines — including Alaska, American, JetBlue, US Airways and Virgin America — raised their pet fees by about $20 or more in the last year or so, and now charge $100 each way to take a pet on a flight. Continental, Midwest and United now charge $125 to bring a pet onboard, up from $100 previously.
