		<description><![CDATA[This is the best of times, the worst of times for flying. Airline news can be kind of boring and often frustrating, but if you don&#8217;t keep up on it you can miss out on deals and get socked with ugly penalties.
Chris Elliott has a great interview over at Tripso with one of the best [...]]]></description>

In Traveler&#8217;s Tool Kit: Mexico and Central America, my co-author and I basically told people to leave their cell phone at home when they travel or just turn it off when on foreign soil. A couple people we showed the draft too were puzzled. How do you keep in touch if you don&#8217;t have your [...]]]></description>

My latest Tripso column was borne out of my own experiences trying to donate blood on multiple occasions and the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been getting loads of media calls on how to still have a summer vacation in this climate of expensive gasoline and and expensive (and less pleasant) airfares. One solution, if you&#8217;re in a place where it&#8217;s an option, is to take the train. Here&#8217;s my latest Tripso/MSNBC article on 12 days of public transportation, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I do a lot of international traveling, but I do have a little princess in the house, so sometimes the travels are right down the road for some roller coasters and splashing in a water park. Since it&#8217;s about the time when millions of others are doing that as well, here&#8217;s my latest article on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since I&#8217;ve got one book out on traveling to Mexico and Central America and another one called The World&#8217;s Cheapest Destinations, naturally I&#8217;m going to encourage people to fly somewhere far and go exploring. This summer though, I wouldn&#8217;t blame anyone who said, &#8220;Screw that&#8221; and decided to vacation close to home.
Which leads us to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;ve written before about how there are really two Mexicos: tourist beach resort Mexico and &#8220;the other Mexico.&#8221; I finally vented and wrote a whole article about it in this Tripso column, titled appropriately enough, Travel Bargains in the Other Mexico.
If you&#8217;ve spent some real time in the country, it probably is not news to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another detour to Europe before I return to my recent Mexico trip. My latest article out on MSNBC.com (via Tripso) is on Europe&#8217;s Unheralded Wine Regions.
Being the contrarian traveler that I am, I have never managed to set foot in the land of Bordeaux. I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;ll still be there when I&#8217;m richer and grayer. [...]]]></description>
