I am constantly reading all the other great travel posts, both for information and inspiration. Sometimes, these posts expose me to new places or things that I put down on my must-see list. Other times, they convey the emotions of travel, a destination, or experience. Sometimes they’re fun and just downright silly.
Whatever the reasons a post catches my eye, it makes me feel part of a very special group of people – travel bloggers.
Narrow street in Italy
Here are some great reads from this past week:
My Bella Vita explains her theory on how to learn Italian – an entire month without speaking anything but Italian. Will it work?
Galley Gossip on Gadling is written by a flight attendant, and this explanation of non-revving, deadheading, positioning, and commuting, explains why you sometimes see flight attendants sitting in a seat, or being give a boarding priority. Before you curse them out, read this post.
Travel Blog Exchange has a post by Dana on the best and safest hotel choices in Russia. You don’t have to rough it in Russia.
The Paris Traveler explains where all the Parisiens go in August. And why. They definitely have a better attitude about vacationing than many of us do.
The Montreal Guide lets us in on one giant waterfight. Sounds like a lot of fun!
Gadling covers the story of Ryan Air CEO Michael O’Leary who says that passengers who are demanding anything more than the most basic of service should just go away. Sounds like a company that has found their niche and has no intention of being anything more.
Nerds Eye View pens a wonderful travel essay from her recent road trip that took her through Montana. Anyone who has passed through Big Sky country will relate to Pam’s feelings of being the tourist.
Those are my favorites for this week. I’ll have another selection for you next Sunday.
