RTW Ticket Watch – December 2009

Holiday Travel Tips from BootsnAll

Riiiide in style!Most of the time, travel is about discovering new destinations and having exciting adventures. But at the holidays, travel is often no more than an exercise in frustration. Which is why it never hurts to seek out a little travel advice, even if you’re an experienced traveler already. Just ask anyone who has braved an airport in the U.S. on the day before Thanksgiving.

At BootsnAll, we’ve put together a series of holiday-specific travel articles to help you find cheap flights and also give you other travel tips to make your holiday trips a little less stressful (and hopefully a little less costly, too). You can read about how to find cheap flights at Christmas and also over New Year’s, get airport survival tips if you’re flying over Christmas, and learn about ways to find Christmas travel deals and New Year’s travel deals.

And if your holiday-related travel needs are less about flying somewhere than about finding the perfect gift for the traveler in your life, then we’ve got some ideas for you on that front, too. We have several articles with gift ideas for people who love specific destinations (like Italy, Paris, or Las Vegas), specific kinds of travelers (like eco-travelers or gadget freaks), and even a list of gift ideas that won’t cost a fortune.

All our holiday tips articles are collected in one place, so have a look through this article and you’ll be sure not to miss any critical information.

And from all of us at BootsnAll, we’d like to wish you a very happy holiday season!

How Canned Peas Changed the Way I Think About Travel

We love reading all the travel articles that people send us for publication on BootsnAll, and we hope you do as well. We also understand that you’re busy (aren’t we all?), so just in case you missed this article we published last month we wanted to point it out – because we think RTW travelers in particular would enjoy it.

In “How Canned Peas Changed the Way I Think About Travel: An Essay on Returning Home,” Jon Wick has a revelation over dinner that makes him approach being home after a long journey differently. The short version is that he realizes he can look at being home in the same way he looked at travel and end up getting more out of it. The long version? Well, you’ll have to read the article for that.

Round The World Discussion

Blog it or slog it?

It seems like everyone involved with long-term travel has their own blog, but many of them are rarely updated and there are other downsides to trying to keep one up while on the road. Shawnosauraus on our message boards is asking for advice on whether or not to set up a blog, so share your opinions and see what others are saying.

For Mom, Love Steve

It’s been a while since we’ve checked in with Steve and his great blog steveislost.com. It appears that he’s finally wrapped up his trip after over 4 years on the road. His most recent stop was a long stay in Southeast Asia, so if you are looking for great insights and photos from just about anywhere, this is a site to check out.
