I happened to be sifting through my daily pile of e-newsletters when a small piece of information caught my eye: 5 lbs. This weight was in reference to the FlightWise 22-inch carry-on luggage available through Land’s End. That might not sound like a post-worthy travel tidbit, but considering it is […]
The problem with flying is that nothing about it seems, well, logical. The prospect of stuffing oneself into a combustible, steel contraption that launches into a groundless abyss can be quite daunting and almost absurd. But yet we do it, some of us once a year, others, every six months […]
Are you really not looking forward to that Thanksgiving trip next month? Well, for those spontaneous travelers, South African Airways has extended their fall sale, offering roundtrip flights for under $1,000 for trips from NYC or Washington in November.

It’s a dreamy concept, isn’t it? Imagine the stories, the passport stamps, the experiences traveling around the world would be. Heck, the three letters “RTW” send me off to distant lands. Yeah, I’ve thought about it — and thought about it hard — haven’t we all? Over at Wanderlust, they […]
