You’ll notice less frequent posts this week since I’ve got a lot of exciting things going on in my personal life ;)

I’m still looking out for good ideas and news to post about so I’m loaded with material for next week and beyond. Feel free to leave some ideas or chat in the comments, they are always welcome. If you’ve come across some good travel blogs or write one yourself I don’t know about I’d like to hear about it.

Also, this Thursday I’ll be posting details about my next contest with a prize of a $250 travel voucher for the airline of your choosing.

Purchasing Tickets

Pro

  • Tickets purchased in cash can protect your privacy keeping travel itineraries out of bank hands. This may seem like paranoia, but you may want to consider it if you’re traveling to a destination unpopular with your government.

Con

  • For more expensive travel you should consider the protections a credit card can offer since many of them offer trip protections.
  • For instance, Citi PremierPass Elite MasterCard comes with Trip Cancellation/Trip Interruption Insurance for free.

Sunduvan’s Review of foXnoMad

Sunduvan over at Free Blog Review was kind enough to look over this site and write up a review.

My 2-cent: I like his blog especially his airport tips. I hate waiting in the airport so now I know what to do in the airport. He should concentrate more in telling us about airport tips. Thanks Fox.

Sunduvan’s has traveled extensively in the Asia-Pacific area and I invite him to submit a post. I plan on running a contest (details out on May 1) and it may be worth his and you while. You can read the entire review or request your own.
