2009Well-traveled American septuagenarian traveled to Iraq without incident
When I was heading for Egypt a few months ago, a number of people asked whether I was “afraid” or “nervous” about visiting the Middle East. My response was, “No.” After I returned, people were happy that I had a “safe” trip. Several weeks later, when an explosion in Cairo rocked a popular tourist area, the questions and expressions of relief that my trip was uneventful continued.

2009Hawaii Supreme Court decision scuttles high-speed, interisland ferry service
I cheered when I first heard about the Hawaii Superferry. It promised fast, reasonably priced passenger and vehicle transportation connecting the islands. That seemed like good news for both visitors and locals. Besides, I just plain like ferries. But when I heard the backstory and side effects of this service, I had mixed feelings. To borrow a phrase from Peter Pan, I still believe in ferries. They are efficient mass transportation, but there were disturbing aspects to this one.

2009My last contest took forever and was sort of confusing. This time I’m going to make it much easier on everyone, including myself. All you have to do to win is to vote for Everything-Everywhere.com as Best Travelogue in the Lonely Planet Travel Blog Awards and leave a comment with “I voted”. This is on the honor system, so if you cheat and win, I’m going to put some sort of internet curse on you.
