Vice Magazine just released the first installment of their new DVD series: Vice Guide to Travel. For their first edition, Vice correspondents, along with fellow crazy guys Johnny Knoxville, Spike Jonze, and David Cross travel around the world, stopping at the most undesirable, stigmatized, and dangerous locations, tempting fate and exposing the nitty-gritty details that Lonely Planet left out.
We went to such far-flung locales as the Pygmy villages of the Congo, the radioactive ruins of Chernobyl, and the bomb-pocked refugee camps of Beirut so that you never, ever have to go for yourself as long as you live. We took cameras so that we could prove that we went.
For this edition we went to the kinds of places that nobody else wants to visit. We traveled to the corners of the world where news is happening, the forgotten locales where strange people and stories lie and where history is being made every day. This is the VICE idea of a vacation.

The Changing Face Of Travel Writing

There is an aggressive, adventurous, daring, flexible, explorer “out there” who is desperately searching and seeking to discover her next travel destination to the Last Frontiers! That “Final Frontier” destination will more than likely be in India, But how will she ever uncover and discover how to reach, where to stay, and what to do in this exotic and rarely visited destination?
It could just as well be young college students searching the bookstores or the Internet to uncover their next eco travel, adventure travel, or any of the varied specialized travel destinations that are waiting to be discovered. These exotic travel spots can’t be found because no one has bothered to document how to reach them.

Kudos to Tom Peters' blog people as they point to an article in last week's Guardian about Richard Branson's attempt to get into the oil industry - so that he can keep the cost of his Virgin Atlantic & Express flights down! The Guardian says:
"Branson's rationale isright: the oil companies have not invested enough in new refineries andundercapacity is one of the reasons for high aviation fuel prices.Nevertheless, the prospect of Branson moving in on the energy sector islikely to prompt loud guffaws among the established oil groups."

Frommers Costa Rica 2006

I found Frommers Costa Rica 2006 to be as good as such guides get, and I am reasonably well traveled. By their nature, such guides are generalists, to be supplemented with specialist literature as you narrow your plans. Many other guides presuppose a specialty like ecotourism, and provide value in that way if such specialization happens to fit your plans. The Frommers seeks to top the generalist guidebook segment, and succeeds and then goes beyond with more frequent updates than specialized guides. So, for current information on lodging and the like, youll want a Frommers.

Henry Isaacson, the head of the Piedmont-Triad Airport Authority recently sent a letter to Delta Airlines, as well as the mayors of Greensboro, High Point and Winston-Salem. The subject of this letter was the airport’s recently 17% drop in passenger traffic from a year ago, over two-third as a result of a major drop in Delta passengers.
The reason Isaacson believes this drop has occurred is price-fixing by Delta. Delta flights out of the airport often cost three to four times as much as neighboring airports. For example, a flight from Greensboro to Boston costs $798. By contrast, a Delta flight from the Raleigh-Durham and Charlotte airports, which are only an hour and a half drive away, are only $158 and $262.

First, a recent poll found that most fliers feel safer when flying than they have since the attacks five years ago. This comes as a surprise to me, given the recent British terror plot, but I suppose the fact that it was foiled gives people a lot more confidence in the air.
Secondly, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics found that more flights departed on time and fewer flights were canceled this previous August than the August a year ago. This was not my experience in August (I spent the night in an airport terminal after a flight cancelation), but it represents a very positive trend for frequent fliers.
