This week we finish up our incredible journey to Israel by sharing with you our time in Tel Aviv, Jaffa and the flight back. http://johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Ben-Brown-Lucerne-Switzerland-20092.html Living in a Jail Cell, Tobogganing down a Mountain in Lucerne: Part 2 http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny11112009.html Shalom from Israel! I continue to tell you about my amazing trip to the Holy Land. This week we head to the Dead Sea, Masada and Bethlehem which is in Palestine. http://johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Ben-Brown-Lucerne-Switzerland-2009.html Living in a Jail Cell, Tobogganing down a Mountain in Lucerne: Part 1 http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny110420093.html Shalom from Israel! Last week, we left off after our El Al flight touched down in Tel Aviv. This week, we hit Jerusalem. If you thought that Israel was unsafe and only for Jews (like I did), think again. http://johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny11042009.html A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of attending the grand re-opening of the Marriott Miami Airport Hotel Campus. There was a huge celebration with VIPs like Mr. Marriott himself and Tito Puente junior's salsa band played, complete with dancers. The campus is a unique concept; it has three different Marriott-branded hotels and a cool $70 million was spent on the transformation. The three hotels comprise a 366-room, full-service Marriott, 300-room Courtyard by Marriott and 163-suite Residence Inn. http://johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Ben-Brown-Geneva-Switzerland-2009.html There's a reason why world conventions choose Geneva. Famous vineyards, hilly towns and shimmering lake just a few factors in a French/Swiss product of near-flawless beauty http://johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Marcela-Thailand-2009-3.html On the second leg of our honeymoon, my husband, Noah and I were enjoying our two- night stay at Rayavadee, a beautiful resort on the Andaman Coast of Thailand. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny10072009.html This past week, I was invited to attend Southwest Airlines' annual media day at their Dallas headquarters. Media Day is a great chance for airlines to open up their operations and invite journalists (and their readers) in for a peek around. Unfortunately, not many airlines do it - in fact, the only other airline I know that does it is US Airways and I've attended theirs for the past couple of years. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny102720095.html When I was first invited to visit Israel, I admit I had many preconceived notions, fears and questions - perhaps many of the same ones that first-time visitors to Israel would have. But my first question was: What's it like to fly El Al? If you're interested, here's a play-by- play. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Marcela-Thailand-2009-2.html The honeymoon continues, this week in the spectacular (and impossibly romantic) Thai islands. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Ben-Brown-Interlaken-Switzerland-2009.html Hiking, biking, rafting and canyoning. Jumping off a cliff or out of a plane, rolling down a mountain in an inflatable ball ... if you can think it up, you can do it here! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny10212009.html Greetings from San Diego, California! This past week, I spoke on three panels about social media and the main thing I learned is that web writing has to be short - so I'm attempting it this week. So let's get right to it, shall we? This week, we check in at the world's largest business travel conference, the National Business Travel Association (NBTA), where all the airlines are strutting their new seats. They featured a slew of amazing gimmicks and speakers (including President Bill Clinton and Captain Sully) to entice. We'll also see a couple of new hotels and restaurants that are hot and affordable. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Georgette-Yellowstone-2009.html This week I leave Cody, Wyoming and head west through the incredible mountain scenery on Chief Joseph Highway to Cooke City, Montana, a former silver mining town. This drive is 80 miles from Cody to the gates of Yellowstone and has been called the most scenic drive in America by Teddy Roosevelt, and more recently, by Charles Kuralt. It hasn't changed in one hundred years. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Marcela-Thailand-2009.html Walking into Bradley International Terminal at the Los Angeles airport is always a good feeling because not only does it mean I'm leaving the country, but this time, it meant I was leaving the hemisphere. And ... there's a very special reason to leave the Western world behind: I'm going on my honeymoon! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny10142009.html Greetings from the good ol' U.S. of A! This week, we fly across the pond from London to New York to catch a Yankees game, then head home to California to attend a Twitter Conference and spend some quality time with my dad -- including going to a Dodgers game! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Georgette-Cody-Wyoming-2009.html Explore the Wild West in Cody, Wyoming; it's a historical goldmine. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny10072009.html Cheerio from England! Last week we left off from Athens and instead of flying directly back to the States, I stopped off in jolly old England to not only make my trip shorter but to review two incredible hotels and check a destination off my Bucket List: Stonehenge. http://johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Ramona-Zachariass-Amsterdam-2009.html Where to stay and what to do in Holland's capital city. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny09302009.html Yahsu from Athens! We're finishing up with our incredible seven-day Aegean cruise on Seabourn's newest ship, The Odyssey. This unforgettable trip began touring around Istanbul and last week, we visited some of Turkey's most famous ports including Kusadasi (to see Ephesus) and Bodrum. Today, we'll hit some of Greece's magical ports like Santorini and we'll end up at a hotel in Athens that overlooks the Acropolis. Not a bad week, eh? Looking for something a little different? Ramona Zacharias continues with part two of her European adventure. This week, she tours us around Budapest. And Dave Zuchowski takes us to a food and wine celebration in Milan, Ohio, that'll set your taste buds tingling. http://johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Ramona-Zachariass-Budapest-2009.html From castles to underground military hospitals to rural wine tastings, take a well- rounded tour of this remarkable city. http://johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/David-Zuchowski-The-Culinary-Vegetable-Institute-2009.html Food and wine celebration spotlights cuisine of celebrity chefs. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny09232009.html Ahoy there, mates! This week we're coming to you from one of, if not the, swankiest cruise ships in the world -- Seabourn's newest masterpiece the Odyssey! We'll learn all about this 450- passenger luxury yacht, which debuted in late June. If you want to see what the hype is all about surrounding this $300 million boat, then sit back, relax and enjoy the smooth ride. In an attempt to make these stories read faster, we're breaking the paragraphs up into almost Twitter-sized tweets. I hope you like it. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Ramona-Zachariass-Czech-Republic-2009.html A vacation in Prague and Karlovy Vary can provide something for everyone. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Sue-Richter-Shark-Reef-2009.html Overlooking the longest stretch of beach in Southern California, the Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort of Huntington Beach provides the setting for a vacation fit for all ages and types. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny09162009.html Ahoy there, mates! This week we're coming to you from one of, if not the, swankiest cruise ships in the world -- Seabourn's newest masterpiece the Odyssey! We'll learn all about this 450- passenger luxury yacht, which debuted in late June.

I hope you like it. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny09092009.html Merhaba from Turkey! Last week, my story about arriving in Istanbul and staying at the city's most famous hotel was getting so long, that I decided to save the best for last the city tour. If you want to see Istanbul through the eyes of a professional and private tour guide (who won't bleed your bank account), then come along with us to learn about this fascinating city. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Sue-Richter-Shark-Reef-2009.html Las Vegas has many oxymorons ... but scuba diving in Sin City may take the cake. Mandalay Bay's Shark Reef Aquarium scuba program opened in June 2009, to certified divers for a down under experience like no other. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Tom-Cabo-San-Lucas-2009.html Before leaving on my trip to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico, I was a little uneasy about staying at an all inclusive hotel because this was both my first time to Cabo and my first time at an all inclusive. I was concerned about quality and what I was going to have to pay for what was "not included". When I arrived at the magnificent Riu Palace in Cabo, I was blown away by the resort, located on the beach within a stone's throw of the famed El Arco granite rock formation situated at the southernmost tip of the Baja peninsula. This is where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez and nothing along Mexico's entire coastline can match the grandeur of these towering, naturally formed arches. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny09022009.html Merhaba from Istanbul, Turkey! I'm here for a couple days of sightseeing before I board a weeklong Aegean cruise on Seabourn's newest ship, Odyssey. This is my first time visiting the city that straddles two continents and I had a lot of preconceived misconceptions and fears, all of which have now been relieved. If you want to see this fascinating place Johnny Jet-style (part luxury, part practical), then pack your bags and don't forget to bring your open mind. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Frank-DiScala-Gettysburg-2009.html September 11, 2009 marks a day of remembrance and an opportunity for volunteers to participate in an event to preserve national historic sites. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Natasha-James-NYC-2009.html Having lived within the 23 square miles of Manhattan for the better part of the past 10 years, it might surprise you to know that I have not visited many of the spaces and places that make New York such an interesting and exciting destination both to reside in and to visit. What seems like a good idea in theory (new exhibit at the Guggenheim, for example) always falls by the wayside in the face of daily life (errands) in a bustling city. So, this past weekend, my husband and I decided to make like a tourist (or, an adventurous city dweller) and visit Governors Island. Located off the southernmost tip of Manhattan, the island was once home to the US Army and, more recently, the US Coast Guard, but today the island serves as a lazy destination for city folk and their visitors. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny08262009.html Guten tag from Germany! This week we travel by train along the Rhine River to Frankfurt, to stay at a newly remodeled airport hotel that's so conveniently located, not only to catch an early flight but to go downtown as well. From there, we board a Turkish Airlines 737-800 plane to Istanbul to get ready for a week long Aegean Cruise on Seabourn's newest ship, The Odyssey. How exciting is that? http://johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Juliet-Pennington-Santa-Monica-2009.html The West Coast landmark turns 100 in September and marks the milestone with a yearlong celebration of festivities. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny08192009.html Top o' the morning to you from South Hampton, England. My trip to the city that spans two continents, which I mentioned last week, will have to wait one more week because I decided to make a quick diversion. You see, last month I attended two inaugural cruise ship sailings: Celebrity's Equinox and Seabourn's Odyssey. Since these ships are brand spanking new and everyone wants to get the lowdown on them before booking their tickets, I thought I'd better get them out sooner rather than later. Although the Odyssey was released first, we'll begin with Equinox since it wasn't a multi-destination sailing and thus doesn't require as much detail. Ready? Let's go! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Cancun-2009.html Looking for fun in the sun and a bit of adventure, too? Check out the Mexican Riviera! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Clare-Sayas-Los-Angeles-2009.html It's not all about star-gazing in Los Angeles. Check out year-round local delights to enjoy in this diverse city. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny08122009.html Cheerio from London where I've been three times in the last few months. I love this city and could live here (in the summer, that is) if the opportunity ever arose. I stayed at a variety of places, including a refurbished historic hotel, dined at an array of restaurants and walked a lot, especially through most of the city's royal parks. I'll tell you all about this, plus, the best way to get around and where to get theatre tickets. If you want to make your trip here smoother and see my London, both pricey and practical, then join me for this tour of one of my favorite cities across the pond. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/David-Zuchowski-Humana-Festival-2009.html Mention the name Louisville and most people think Kentucky Derby, bourbon and mint juleps. But throw out the word to a theater groupie and chances are you'll hear the phrase Humana Festival in rebound. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Kelly-Gray-London-2009.html I hadn't been to London since I was 14 years old. We toured all the requisite sites, and I was dragged around by my enthusiastic family to see everything and anything marketed to American tourists. We flew to London via New York City, absolutely crammed in the vice grip of coach class. Ew. By the time we arrived in London, we had such horrific jet lag, we missed an entire day of our trip sleeping it off. The next trip I took to Europe in 1998 was even worse. I can't seem to cross the Atlantic without getting sick. Flu, colds and bronchitis have all accompanied me to Paris, London, Amsterdam ... http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny08052009.html allo from England! Last week we left off from Sydney and I told you I was going to do a kangaroo hop from Australia to this week's secret destination. Normally, the kangaroo route is via Asia but I went via America so I could go home for a few days and collect my mail and switch out my clothes. Since getting there is always half the fun, I will give you a flavor of V Australia's premium economy product and a detailed play by play of what it was like flying British Airways Club World ... you know, beyond the curtain. We'll also explore Heathrow's new multi-billion dollar Terminal 5 and I'll tell you about my first medical emergency landing. http://johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Cynthia-Cunniff-White-Mugged-In-Spain-2009.html Recently, I had an experience in Barcelona, Spain that I think is worth sharing. My husband and I had put together an amazing three city tour: Amsterdam, Paris and Barcelona. After a terrific 10 days of travel, we were headed home to Los Angeles. We left our rented apartment in the Gothic area of Barcelona in the wee hours, 4:30am. Like many of the very old buildings in that area, the main entryway had an enormous iron gate for safety. I woke up, peered into the darkness and felt quite vulnerable at the thought of trekking, with all our belongings, a good five blocks to the cab area. I'd lived in Europe for a good portion of my life and have always been a traveler, and believe that following instincts never makes you stupid I know it's due to this belief that I have never before had an incident like I'm about to describe. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny07292009.html Great news! JohnnyJet.com just made the number 8 spot as one of the world's top 150 travel blogs! When I started this website exactly 10 years ago, as a labor of love, I had no idea that it would change my life entirely. It has allowed me to see so many places (over 60 countries) and meet so many incredible people, more than I ever thought possible. As Outside Magazine proclaimed, this really is a dream job. Thank you for the continued support because without you logging on, I would be still an admissions counselor, not that that's a bad thing. OK, now back to our regularly scheduled programming. This week, join Janice Fuhrman as she tours New York City on a budget and Barbara Barton Sloane as she explores Picasso exhibits in France. Me? Well, I'm coming to you from Sydney, Australia, one of the best cities in the world! http://johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Barbara-Barton-Sloane-Aix-en-Provence-2009.html A magical master's tour from the Riviera to Provence. http://johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Janice-Fuhrman-New-York-City-2009.html A visit to the Big Apple can be both interesting and inexpensive. Honest! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny07222009.html G'day, mates! I'm back in one of my favorite countries: Australia. I'm here for a few reasons. One is to checkout V Australia's new service (it's amazing and I wrote about it last week), and another is to revisit an island I haven't been to in years but often long for; it's like Fantasy Island (minus Tattoo). Also, I have good family friends from Connecticut living there, which means I've got a place to stay. On top of that, it's newsworthy since the geniuses from Queensland Tourism recently created The Best Job in the World contest, which has won all kinds of marketing awards and has been called of the greatest marketing campaigns of all time. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny07152009.html G'day from Australia! I'm back in one of my favorite countries and getting here was seriously half the fun ... and half the price! I flew Richard Branson's newest airline V Australia, which recently entered this lucrative route once dominated by Qantas and United. Along with Delta (who began flying to Sydney on July 1), they have ruffled all kinds of feathers and fares have been slashed as the competition heats up. Read on to discover why you should visit Australia now and what makes V Australia so special. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Frank-DiScala-Mexico-2009.html Sun, sand and ... Mexican hot sauce? Find out why you should visit the Mexican Riviera, too! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny07082009.html Bon bini from the island of Aruba! I'm here because it's such a popular island destination for Americans (and the Dutch, too) and to be quite honest, I'm tired of having people ask me for tips on travel to Aruba, only to see their faces register horror and shock when I say I've never been. Although this Happy Island wasn't my first choice, you're about to see why I was so pleasantly surprised. Ariba, ariba, Aruba! http://johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Mike-Cabo-2009.html Visit an exclusive vacation destination, catering to golfers, sport fishers and sunbathers alike. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny07012009.html Kia orana! We left off last week from the South Pacific island of Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. This week, we visit neighboring Aitutaki, which many compare to Bora Bora ... minus the French. If you're looking for a tropical island setting for a family adventure or a romantic escape that's cheaper than Tahiti, but with the same incredible views and a ton of sea life (though not much human life) and all the comforts of home (Internet, TV, five-star hotel), then listen up. Aitutaki is for you! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny06242009.html We left off last week just after touching down in the tropical Cook Islands. If you're interested in an affordable South Pacific getaway for families and honeymooners, then you won't want to miss the island of Rarotonga. We also have pictures from jetBlue's celebration last week at LAX, where they have just begun twice daily service to New York's JFK and Boston (rates from $109). http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Kim-Kessler-Maui-Dining-Guide-2009.html Set your taste buds watering with thoughts of fabulous dining in Maui. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Margot-Black-Maui-Four-Seasons-2009.html The Four Seasons on the island of Maui offers a family-friendly holiday that will thrill both adults and children. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/William-Darrow-Rhode-Island-2009.html Dealing with heavy rainfall can sully the best of weekend trips, but Newport, Rhode Island proved an exception to this typically steadfast rule. In fact, the city feels built for rain, with architecture featuring dark, muted colors and slanted barn-like roofs. And although Newport has all the trappings of your basic American city -- fast-food restaurants, big-name retail stores, etc. -- it also possesses a gilded nostalgia that makes it feel more urban museum than a living, breathing, get-up-and-go-to-work city. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny06172009.html Kia orana from the Cook Islands! Those of you who know where these spectacular islands are located will realize that I'm in paradise. It's the perfect destination for honeymooners, adventure-seekers and families who just want to get away from it all. For those of you who need a quick geography lesson, no need to do a Google search. I will tell you all you need to know. Believe it or not, half the fun of the trip was flying the 10-hour nonstop flight on Air New Zealand, which we will cover this week. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Tom-Puerta-Vallarta-2009.html More than just sun and sand, Puerto Vallarta plays host to the annual Festival Gourmet International, attracting gourmands from all over the globe. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Lisa-Mexico-2009.html Get ready for some fun in the sun; A Mexican vacation is just a short flight away! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny06102009.html Pura vida from Guanacaste, Costa Rica! I'm down here for the grand opening of an incredible resort right on the Pacific: The JW Marriott Guanacaste. The great news for consumers (though perhaps not so much the owners!) is that because of the state of the economy, guests can get rooms here for a bargain. And I mean, a bargain! Just this past week, they were offering rooms for a third of the regular price: $95! And wait until you see this place. In addition, my sister GeorgieJet is also in Costa Rica and she's checking out the Lost Iguana Resort at the base of the Arenal Volcano. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Georgette-Costa-Rica-2009.html A week at the Lost Iguana Resort, tucked away in the rainforest at the base of the Arenal Volcano, was like a trek back into the primordial jungle. The view of the volcano, with a ring of clouds resting on its peak and framed by the large-leafed plants and flowers from my patio, was like a scene from the movie Jurassic Park, which makes sense because Costa Rica is the youngest land on the North American continent, being only three million years old. I am told that on a clear night, you can see the hot red lava of this active volcano! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Travel-Therapy-Book-Review-2009.html An experienced journalist takes a new slant on travel by offering travelers the option of traveling for therapy. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny06032009.html Buenos Dias from Costa Rica! This week, we're going to explore options to travel from New York City to JFK Airport, including one for just $7. I then fly to Los Angeles for just $119 plus $12.95 for American's in-flight Internet. There's nothing like passing time in the sky on Wi-Fi! From there, it's off to Liberia, Costa Rica via Miami. If you're up for racking up some serious AAdvantage miles, then join me on this week's adventure! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Georgette-Rotterdam-2009.html Rotterdam is a fascinating new city in an old historic town. Nearly bombed flat during World War II, the residents decided to reinvent it by encouraging modern architecture starting in the '50s. Rotterdam has a young vibe and is comprised of over 160 nationalities making it the most multicultural city in The Netherlands. With over 40 architecturally distinct modern buildings Rotterdam represents everything from designers like Marcel Breur from Bauhaus School to architects of the De Stijl movement and the world famous cube houses of the '70s. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Barbara-Barton-Sloane-Calgary-Stampede-2009.html There's a reason it's called The Wild West! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny05272009.html Greetings from Connecticut! This week, we finish up our trip to South America in style as we travel from Argentina to Rio and check in to one of the world's most famous hotels: The Copacabana Palace. You won't want to miss this or one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. We then spend Memorial Day in my favorite place in the world - with friends and family in the Nutmeg State. Shhh ... can you hear the music? That's 50 Cent singing, "It's my birthday, it's my birthday!" Dance, everyone! It's my birthday ... on Sunday! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Georgette-Amsterdam-2009.html A guide to this beautiful and historic city. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Carly-Blatt-NY-Uncle-Sam-Tour-2009.html Explore New York's West Village through a historical pub crawl. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny05202009.html Hola from Argentina! Last week, we left off from the incredible Brazilian town and UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ouro Preto. This week, we visit one of the world's largest waterfalls, Iguazu Falls. It's so amazing that it makes Niagara Falls look like a fountain and on top of that, it borders three countries and we're going to visit them all. Woo hoo! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny05132009.html Bom dia (good morning from Brazil). This week we're still coming to you from the state of Minas Gerais but we're no longer in its capital city of Belo Horizonte. This week we're in the much more beautiful locale of Ouro Preto. The town's full name is Vila Rica do Ouro Preto, which is Portuguese for "Rich Town of the Black Gold". This former colonial mining town located in the Serra do Espinhaco mountains is unbelievable! No wonder the whole city has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and is featured in the book 1,000 Places To See Before You Die. It was also featured in the 1988 Richard Dreyfuss movie Moon Over Parador, which I remember watching and thinking: How cool is that place! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny05062009.html Tudo bom from Brazil ... or Brasil (Brazilians spell it with an "s".) Last week I wrote about my seven and a half hour American Airlines flight from Miami to Belo Horizonte. This week, we'll explore one of Brazil's largest cities. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/David-Zuchowski-Costa-Rica-2009.html As my plane made its initial descent a hundred or so miles from Costa Rica's San Jose International Airport, I looked out the window at my first glimpse of this ecology-minded Central American nation. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Lindsay-Banas-Carnival-Splendor-2009.html Whether you're looking for a cruise filled with fun and adventure, or one that allows you to relax and bask in the sun all day long, Carnival Splendor, from Carnival Cruise Lines, allows you to do all that and more. It is a voyage to be remembered and treasured. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny04292009.html Greetings from Brazil! This week we begin a trip to South America by trying out American Airlines Next Generation Business Class Seats on their 777 and 767. Check it out! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Diana-Rowe-Wales-2009.html Wales offers up world-class golfing against a breathtaking and beautiful natural backdrop. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Janice-Fuhrman-Napa-2009.html Luxury, eco-living and spa indulgence in the heart of the Napa Valley. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny04222009.html Greetings from Alabama! Last week we left off from Florida and from there I traveled to the neighboring state of Alabama. Yee haw! Sweet home Alabama! Believe it or not, this was my first time there and admittedly, I had all kinds of preconceived notions. For example, I thought for sure I was getting picked up at the airport by a friend in a pick-up truck but you'll just have to read on to see if that happened. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Aubrey-Switzerland-2009.html Last time I talked to you guys, I was in Koh Samui, Thailand, blathering on about something to do with life being a beach and spending much too much time gushing about my dishy scuba instructors. I just reread that. Yikes! I guess I really needed a vacation. (The trouble with getting published is that your words are immortalized and can then come back to haunt you.) So, in Thailand, when I wasn't busy acquiring a new palette of sun freckles, trying not to die on my moto-bike, recovering from dengue fever, drinking Singha or brushing up on my French, I managed to teach eight yoga holiday retreats and get my dive master certification. Overall, mission accomplished. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Georgette-Marthas-Vineyard-2009.html The island's 'secret season' is something you'll want to discover for yourself. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny04152009.html Greetings from Florida! Last week after leaving our nation's capital, I flew down to Florida to see my dad and sister for my seventh or eighth visit since midJanuary. I've been using their places as a base camp for a bunch of trips. One of the trips I took was up to Orlando to speak. I didn't get to go to any theme parks but I did get to ride Amtrak and stay at a sweet hotel even better than Disneyland! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Cindy-Whistler-2009.html Whistler Blackcomb is renowned for its skiing. A quick Internet search reveals it's consistently in the list of best ski resorts in the world considered number one by many. But not everyone's a skier, a snowboarder or even all that into winter ... period. If these reasons have kept you from checking it out, hesitate no more. Plan to visit these twin peaks in the off-season. Shutterbugs and adventure-seekers take note: there's enough going on to keep everyone amused, whether you're into physical activity or not! Even a weekend here is enough to make you feel like you've spent weeks away. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Georgette-Vancouver-2009.html Planning on going to the 2010 Olympics? You will find beautiful and progressive Vancouver steeped in tradition and maybe the most multicultural city in the world. While you're there, don't forget it's also the home of northwest Aboriginal art, which you will have no trouble finding after reading this article. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny04082009.html I was in our nation's capital to speak at an exclusive travel conference but I left with much more than just a bunch of new friends and invaluable contacts. I think I might have left my heart there. Seriously! This was my first time to D.C. in over 10 years and I completely forgot how incredible it is. If you are one of the many Americans who are looking for a staycation this year, then my vote for your next domestic vacation spot would be the District of Columbia and its surrounding towns. In short, the city's architecture and landmarks are remarkable and give this place a real European flair. The food is tasty and you can find every type of cuisine imaginable, cooked by new and exciting chefs. Best of all, there's so much to do and see for the whole family and almost all the museums and attractions are free! That's right, FREE! Of course, I'll go into a lot of detail, including what I learned at the conference and tell you the behind-the-scenes story about my photo with President Obama! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Frank-DiScala-Met-Thailand-20092.html The travel and adventure continue as we explore Chiang Rai in the north of Thailand and then the romantic island of Phi Phi. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny04012009.html If you're following me on Twitter or Facebook or are reading my blog, then you already know that I was in Phoenix last week for US Airways' Media Day. No matter how you feel about them, you have to give US Airways a lot of credit for opening their doors and allowing a bunch of travel journalists to peek into their daily lives. Of course, I didn't fly into Phoenix the morning of and leave the same day like a few of the other journalists. I played it smart and went in a day early so I could check out the brand new Montelucia Resort and Spa in Scottsdale, which is so plush that President Obama spent his first overnight outside the White House here. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Frank-DiScala-Met-Thailand-20091.html Discover the delights of Bangkok and the beauty of Koh Samui. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/David-Zuchowski-Big-Trip-Review-2009.html A comprehensive guide to extended travel http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny03252009.html Greetings from San Francisco! This week we check into one of the Bay Area's newest and nicest hotels: Cavallo Point Lodge. We also stay at the city's biggest and most popular convention hotel before taking a private tour of Alcatraz. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Larry-Ferber-Israel-2009.html While Israel's major tourist draws entail Jerusalem and its bevy of high-profile attractions (the Western Wall, Stations of the Cross, Arab Market and Yad VaShem Holocaust Museum a mere sampling), ruins like UNESCO World Heritage Site Masada, and the hip city of Tel Aviv, I'm taking some roads less traveled this visit. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny03182009.html We left off last week from Shanghai, which was the last international destination on my around-the-world trip with Jet Airways. In case you're just joining us now, I made stops in Florida (where I took a Celebrity Solstice cruise), Brussels, Delhi, the Taj Mahal, central India (for a tiger safari), Mumbai (48 hours after the terrorist attacks) and Shanghai (to check out the highest hotel in the world). The last leg on Jet Airways was from Shanghai (PVG) to San Francisco (SFO), but getting to the Shanghai airport was an adventure in itself. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Georgette-Kootenays-2009.html Ever heard of the Kootenays? Well, neither had I until my husband Cam and I went there this February to ski and experience South Eastern British Columbia's rustic hospitality. The Kootenays is the region north of Montana over the Canadian border, which has five mountain ranges including the Canadian Rockies and Purcell and four national parks. This area is famous for champagne powder and eight world-class ski resorts known as the Powder Highway, where waiting in lift lines is unheard of. It's also famous for an abundance of wildlife, dubbed the Serengeti of the north, most known for elk. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny03112009.html Ni hao from China! This week, we're continuing on with an around-the-world trip on Jet Airways. When we left off last, I'd just told you about the flight from India to Shanghai and about my stay at the highest hotel in the world, the Park Hyatt Shanghai. This week we venture outdoors to sightsee and check into another skyscraper hotel, The JW Marriott, which has the Guinness record for highest library in the world. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Cynthia-Nashville-2009.html Visit Nashville, a city of dreams where the music of the stars from today and yesterday comes surging to life. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny03042009.html Bonjour. I was going to continue with my recent trip around the world and finish telling you about the second to last stop, Shanghai. But instead, I will do that next week and update you on my current travels. Unfortunately, I have some sad news to report. Natalie's 60-year-old father passed away on Sunday and I'm presently in Toronto with her and her amazing family. If you could keep them in your prayers, it would be greatly appreciated. This all happened unexpectedly and getting to Canada last-minute was interesting so I thought I would share some of my tips and experiences. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny02252009.html Ni hao from China! I am currently writing about an around-the-world trip on Jet Airways and Shanghai is my second to last stop. I began in L.A., went on a Celebrity Solstice cruise in Florida, flew to Brussels (via New York), then went to Delhi, the Taj Mahal, a tiger safari in central India and last week, I left off from Mumbai -- the airport (BOM) to be exact. So if you're into making the flight to China, then checking into the highest hotel in the world, then join me and my beautiful friend Natalie for this week's adventure! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny02182009.html Namaste! We left off last week from central India on an over-the-top tiger safari. While we were there, the unthinkable happened at our next destination: India's 9/11. Because of the terrorist attacks, Natalie and I ended up staying at the safari lodge an extra day to mull things over. Our hotel in Mumbai was in complete ruins. Can you believe we had a reservation at the Taj Mahal Palace? Fortunately, everyone around us could not have been any more accommodating and it was left up to us to decide if we should go on to Mumbai and continue with our around-the-world-trip or go back to home the way we'd come via Europe. Well, we weren't going to put our tails between our legs and let the terrorists win so we continued on -- even against our family's and friends' wishes. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Juliet-Pennington-Water-Club-2009.html Enjoy a getaway at Atlantic City's Water Club, the city's first ultra-luxe boutique hotel. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Juliet-Pennington-Half-Moon-Bay-2009.html I had heard about this little section of the California coast called Half Moon Bay many years ago and wanted to visit, but the opportunity never seemed to present itself. However, an invitation to a wedding in San Francisco gave me the perfect chance to sneak away for a few days and explore the area. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/David-Zuchowski-Edmonton-2009.html Go beyond the mainstream at Edmonton's popular Fringe Theatre Festival. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/V-Australia-Feb-LAX-2009.html If you haven't been to Australia, now is the time to start planning your trip thanks to last year's historic Open Skies agreement, which allowed competition to go up against Qantas and United who once dominated this lucrative route. New service from V Australia and Delta (beginning in July) has slashed the notoriously high prices. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny02042009.html Last week, a lifelong dream of mine was realized; I visited the Taj Mahal. This week, we continue with this incredible trip to India and head to the central part of the country for a safari. I didn't even know that India had safaris but getting there was an adventure in itself. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Juliet-Pennington-Half-Moon-Bay-2009.html I had heard about this little section of the California coast called Half Moon Bay many years ago and wanted to visit, but the opportunity never seemed to present itself. However, an invitation to a wedding in San Francisco gave me the perfect chance to sneak away for a few days and explore the area. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny01282009.html Namaste from India! We left off last week from New Delhi. This week, we travel by train to fulfill a lifelong dream. From the moment I learned about the Taj Mahal, I've always wanted to visit it. And this week, that dream finally came true. Can you believe I went to the Taj Mahal? Sometimes I still can't believe it! If you want to see this masterpiece with me and discover what it's like to travel by train in India, then come on this journey. As an added bonus, we check-in to a hotel that's not only one of India's finest, but one of the finest in the world! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Carly-Blatt-LA-NY-Times-Travel-Show.html If you're looking for a bit of travel inspiration, dedicate a day to attend the New York Times Travel Show or the Los Angeles Times Travel and Adventure Show this winter. Both shows provide the opportunity to learn about hundreds of destinations, hotels and tour operators, attend travel seminars, and speak firsthand with representatives from various companies. And, if you'd like to hear Johnny Jet speak in person, you'll have two opportunities to do so at the Los Angeles Times show. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny01212009.html Greetings! I was going to write about my trip to the Taj Mahal but that's going to have to wait due to this week's incredible news. First, there was the miraculous splash landing in the Hudson River and then there was the inauguration of President Obama, making him probably the most powerful person in the world. No, I wasn't at the inauguration or on that flight but I watched both of them live on television. When I received the CNN breaking news alert about the plane crash, my heart started to race and my stomach turned. It's a horrendous subject for anyone but even more so for frequent fliers. When I turned on the television, the plane was almost completely submerged. There were no signs of passengers and I feared the worst. I'm not sure if the news agencies were just trying to suck more viewers in or what ... but for the first 20 minutes or so, they didn't mention anything about passengers disembarking safely. So when Katie Couric eventually stated that everyone had gotten out alive, my eyes welled with tears of joy. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Nantucket-20092.html Nantucket: Part 2 Beach, spa, fishing, fine dining Nantucket offers the perfect island getaway. By Chuck Taylor A great place to go and have some fun when the fish aren't biting or when the sun isn't shining is Cisco Brewers, home to The Triple Eight Distillery and Nantucket Vineyards. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny01142009.html Namaste from India! We left off last week after just touching down in Delhi. It's my first time visiting India and there's so much to explore so let's not waste any time! Let's dive right in and see what's out there! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Nantucket-2009.html My favorite getaway destination is the island of Nantucket, which is located 30 miles off the coast of Cape Code in Massachusetts. Nantucket is an island that can take years to get to know intimately. The best restaurants, hotels and staff can change like the shifting sand dunes that make up the island from one year to the next. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny01072009.html Namaste from India! We left off last week after just touching down in Delhi. It's my first time visiting India and there's so much to explore so let's not waste any time! Let's dive right in and see what's out there! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny12312008.html Happy New Year! Last week, we left off in Brussels, just after touching down on a flight from New York on my new favorite airline -- Jet Airways. I arrived at Brussels Airport (BRU) at 6:58am, which was 50 minutes ahead of schedule. However, all the passengers were asked to remain seated because some idiot in business class -- a well dressed Belgian -- claimed he'd left an envelope in the bathroom with ...get this ... $10,000! No one, not even the flight attendants, were sure what was going to happen; this was a first for everyone on board. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/David-Zuchowski-The-Year-of-Festivals-Book-Review-2008.html If your list of New Year's resolutions include a determination to take a more adventurous or sophisticated slant to 2009's travel plans, two recently released books by Lonely Planet can help get a bead on where you might decide to go. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny12242008.html Bonjour from Belgium! The snow is falling outside my window, which is just steps away from the Grand Place. What a way to get into the Christmas spirit! We pick up this week from where we left off, which was on the Celebrity Solstice cruise in south Florida. After we disembarked, I celebrated my dad's birthday and then flew to New York's JFK so I could check out JetBlue's new Terminal 5 and more importantly, catch my Jet Airways flight (my new favorite airline) to Brussels. If you're up for a Christmas treat, then pack your bags and come with me. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Carly-Blatt-Rolf-Potts-Interview.html I'm rarely able to read a travel narrative without wondering about the story behind the story. How did the writer end up in the situation? What aspects were left out of the published story? Did the author know he was going to write about the experience from the get-go, or did he realize later that it was a story that had to be told? http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Alan-Hogenauer-Systematic-Travel-20085.html Thus far in our series on systematic travel, we have focused on visiting political units, ("countries" et al) and spatial units (sectors or quadrants defined by meridians and parallels). But there are in fact many more potential visit challenges related to these two! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny12172008.html Ahoy there mates! I've never really been much of a cruise guy ... which is why I guess my name isn't Johnny Ship. Prior to this trip, I'd been on two (count 'em, two) cruises in my whole life. They were both long weekend bachelor party cruises on Carnival (to Mexico out of Los Angeles). I was even apprehensive about those and they were with 30 of my closest friends who were up to nothing but mischief. Those days are long gone (sure, they are Johnny; keep telling yourself that!) and almost 10 years have passed since I stepped aboard a cruise ship. FYI: I did take an 18 hour Irish passenger ferry to France, but I don't think that counts. Do you? http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Georgette-Southwest-Florida-2008.html After spending a weekend with my sister and her family on the more populous east coast, my husband Cam and I headed west on Florida's I-75 (Alligator Alley) to Bradenton, north of Sarasota. Here, we spent one night at The Londoner, Manatee County's only bed and breakfast. Our authentically English host Jennifer Taylor, met us when we arrived and served tea for me and beer for Cam, and we relaxed on the 1926 wrap-around porch after our three and a half-hour drive. The inn is so cozy and each room is elegantly designed and named for a section of London. The bathrooms are all newly renovated and spic and span. Breakfast the next morning was a real treat when Jennifer cooked us an English-style breakfast, with homemade scones made from English flour with clotted cream and strawberry jam, eggs, English bacon and English tea. We hated to leave and promised to be back soon. The prices are very reasonable; our room was $140 a night. She also does an English teatime, if booked in advance. The Londoner Bed and Breakfast, 304 15th Street West, Bradenton, FL, Tel: 866-472-8283. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny12102008.html Greetings from the good ol' U.S. of A! For all you readers who are new, welcome! I was on over 100 NPR stations this weekend with Rick Steves (we taped it in Seattle a couple of months ago) and I was also on about the same number of local stations with Peter Greenberg and WGN Chicago so we have quite a lot of new subscribers. To give a quick re-cap, I just completed a trip around the world, which I'm about to start telling you about this week. While I was away, I received a ton of emails from family, friends and readers, concerned about my safety, which I greatly appreciated. Thank you! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Alan-Hogenauer-Systematic-Travel-20084.html Challenges for the travel junkie. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny12032008.html As I wrote last week, I have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. I was in India and was scheduled to check into the Taj Palace in Mumbai, just 36 hours after the attacks. There was a good chance that I would have either been in my room or at Cafe Leopold around 9:30pm. When the tragedy occurred, I was in a remote part of India on a tiger safari and I learned about it when I checked my BlackBerry in the middle of the night. When I read the CNN breaking news email alert, my eyes opened wide and my heart started to pound. The emails started pouring in from concerned friends and family. Scared and outraged, I was forced to spend an extra night at the incredible lodge where I was, before making the trek to Nagpur and then flying to Mumbai. My family thought I was insane for flying INTO the madness and not returning home the way I had arrived (via Europe). But I wasn't going to let cowardly terrorists deter me from continuing on with my round-the-world trip. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Juliet-Pennington-Las-Vegas-Trump-Hotel-2008.html The Spa at Trump at the new Trump International Hotel and Tower in Las Vegas offers luxury and extravagance and is definitely worthy of the Trump name. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny11192008.html Howdy from Houston, Texas! Last week, we left off from one of the most beautiful and expensive places on earth: the island of Bora Bora. This week, we fly back to reality but not before experiencing Air Tahiti Nui's business class product. My Los Angeles to Houston leg was on Southwest Airlines so reality kicked in pretty fast ... but I have to say it wasn't all that bad. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Juliet-Pennington-Las-Vegas-Planet-Hollywood-2008.html There are many hotel options in Las Vegas and many factors that weigh into one's decision about where to stay. Location, price, quality and comfort usually top the list. Using these guidelines, I'd have to say my favorite hotel in Las Vegas is Planet Hollywood. It's located in a great spot on The Strip, it's reasonably priced and it features rooms that are not only comfortable, but way, way cool. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Alan-Hogenauer-Systematic-Travel-20083.html A few simple "rules" of systematic travel to help you determine if this approach to travel is right for you. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny11122008.html Greetings! This is my last report from paradise. I know ... but unfortunately, I had to leave some time and get back to reality. We left off last week from the secluded island of Taha'a. From the posh Le Taha'a Resort you can see the famous island of Bora Bora off in the distance; it's about 20 miles away. Natalie and I were scheduled to take a helicopter from the resort's helipad directly to the Four Seasons Bora Bora. You know that would have been a breathtaking, 10-minute ride but unfortunately, there was a mechanical issue. So instead, we took the 35-minute boat transfer back to the Raiatea airport. Although it meant our trip would be 10 times longer, it was still pleasurable. We showed up just 30 minutes before our Air Tahiti flight, which was more than enough time to check in. The plane came in from Moorea and it was on time. They fly an ATR 42-500 that holds 50 passengers, not some little puddle jumper fortunately. Since Air Tahiti only offers open seating, I asked the flight attendant which side offered the best views. The left-hand side won again, just like when we came in from Moorea. Unfortunately, the plane windows were dirty and the seats were really tight but for a 14-minute flight, who's complaining? http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Sarah-Smith-Peru-2008.html My first tip for traveling in Peru: When LAN, the biggest airline in the country, advises you to arrive two hours before your flight, even a domestic one, listen to them. This may be a country where you'll pass burros on the road and have to drink bottled water, but they take air travel seriously. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Alan-Hogenauer-Systematic-Travel-20082.html Continuing where we left off last week, let's look more closely at four more "country" lists, both the two previously promised and two more for good measure. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny11052008.html Ia orana! We left off last week from one of the world's most beautiful (and most expensive) islands, Moorea! This week, we continue with our four-island trip to French Polynesia and take a 30-minute flight to Raiatea before transferring by boat to a secluded island called Taha'a! It's as close to Fantasy Island as you can get with five-star, luxury overwater bungalows and practically no one else around. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/FrankieD-Skiing-In-Switzerland-20082.html Welcome back to our Swiss adventure. If you missed last week's installment, you can read it here. And so, we continue. I checked into the venerable Switzerhoff Hotel. Little did I know that this spacious and elegant building, presiding over the lake and city, would become the epicenter of Mardi Gras-style madness in a matter of mere hours. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Alan-Hogenauer-Systematic-Travel-2008.html Systematically planned out travel can provide travelers with a strategy for seeing the world. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny10292008.html Iaorana! We left off last week after just touching down in Papeete, Tahiti. Natalie and I spent Saturday night at the InterContinental Tahiti Resort, then ate at their fantastic breakfast buffet before taking the 9:05am ferry to Moorea. We wanted to see the market and the city but supposedly everything is closed on Sundays so there was nothing to do. The island of Moorea is 12 miles away and travelers can either take an exciting eight-minute flight (Air Tahiti or Air Moorea) or take a ferry across. The slow ferry takes an hour and the fast one cuts the time in half. No reservation is needed and I just walked up to the ticket window and bought a one-way adult ticket for 1,050 CFP ($TK USD). http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/FrankieD-Skiing-In-Switzerland-2008.html Looking for travel that's part vacation, part adventure? Switzerland's majestic mountains offer up world-class skiing in an idyllic setting that's perfect for your next getaway. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Margot-Black-Idaho-2008.html When the glaciers of the last great ice age melted, they left a wonderland of lakes, mountains, rivers and valleys across North America. Lush evergreens sprouted up on the mountains and summer sunshine warmed the waters. Modern man came along and added a few theme parks, a brewery and a stunning lakeside luxury resort and spa. Okay, now I'm enticed and eager to explore. I pack my family up and head off on a good old-fashioned road trip to the Idaho Panhandle. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny10212008.html G'day! This isn't our usual newsletter so don't panic; we'll be sending that one out in the next day or so. This one is just to give you the inside scoop about Qantas' A380, the world's biggest commercial aircraft, which you have probably seen all over the news this week. As you can see from the picture, I was fortunate enough to be one of the 150 guests to go on an exclusive two-hour "VIP" flight that included Qantas ambassador John Travolta and Australian singer Olivia Newton-John. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny10152008.html Iaorana! This week we're coming to you from French Polynesia! That's right, Tahiti baby! I just landed in Papeete, which is on the island of Tahiti in French Polynesia. Did you know that French Polynesia is an archipelago made up of 118 islands and atolls? They are so spread out that the total area they cover is equivalent to the size of Europe! But if you put all the islands together, they would only make up a landmass slightly larger than the state of Rhode Island. It's crazy, isn't it? If you want to get away from all the economic strife here in the United States, then this might very well be the place for you. Join us for this four-island journey. We begin with our flight from LAX aboard one of my favorite airlines. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/MattPortLudlow2008.html Has inflation and peak oil put a crimp in your travel budget? You don't have to travel far to embark on a journey of discovery. It is the state of mind and not the actual state that creates the sense of adventure. So, can we experience the wonder of traveling abroad in our own backyard? http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/David-Zuchowski-The-Europe-Book-Book-Review-2008.html For its size, Europe, the second smallest continent after Australia, is surprisingly diverse. For one, the birthplace of Western civilization has the world's largest island (Greenland) and both the planet's smallest country (Vatican City) and the largest (Russia). http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny10082008.html Iaorana! I'm visiting some incredibly beautiful tropical islands right now and I don't have a lot of Internet time. So instead of our usual travel story this week, I'm going to share an article that I recently wrote for MedjetAssist (see Website of the Week). I'm pretty sure that anyone who travels will find it useful. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/SarahKBigBear2008.html When you mention Big Bear to most Californians, they think of ski trips and Christmastime cabins covered in snow. Most of us Los Angelinos enjoy a good laugh every winter when watching the news and seeing the poor residents of this mountain town getting snowed in for days at a time. But there's another side to this active city during the non-winter months when everyone comes out to play, and Big Bear becomes a magical wonderland with gorgeous scenery and a quaint environment perfect for a romantic or active weekend getaway. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/CDCFlu2008.html Rushing from flight to flight and from bus to train, business travelers and daily commuters are often so busy they forget that an illness can rapidly put the brakes on productivity or ruin a much-deserved vacation. With as many as one in five Americans getting influenza or "the flu" in some years, there is a pretty good chance that the flu will interrupt your work or play this season. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny10012008.html Greetings from the Pacific Northwest! This week we travel up the west coast to Seattle, Washington to visit friends and be a guest on Rick Steves' radio show. The weather was nothing less than spectacular and so was the entire two-day trip. If you're up for some not-so-sleepless nights, tips on how to get the best deal on a car rental and take in some sightseeing, then hurry up and join in the fun. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/DaveBushellMendocino2008.html Friday morning. Early. My first assignment. In the last several weeks, I have been referred to as a reporter, a journalist, a rookie. But nothing fit. This is not what I do or who I am! I am a "movie guy". A film producer, to be precise. The lady on the phone asked, "You're the travel writer?" Liking this new identity but eschewing titles, I replied, "Yes, but no." http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/GeorgetteNewZealand42008.html Auckland, New Zealand http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny09242008.html Greetings from Southern California! I'm happy to be back home after spending most of the summer on the east coast. In this edition, we travel from Toronto to New York City and then to Los Angeles. Along the way, I learned some helpful tips about New York City public transportation, where to get free Internet and even where you can find $1 tickets to travel between New York City and Washington D.C.! If you're interested in all of this, plus taking an autumn Circle Line Sightseeing tour, then flying across the country with my dad using American Airlines' new Wi-Fi, then hop on for the ride! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/NatalieAirCanada2008.html I'm not normally a business or first class kind of girl. Sure, I've got champagne tastes but the truth is, I've got more of a beer budget. And when I step on a plane to go somewhere, I'm usually so excited about the destination I'd be willing to travel with the cargo, just to get there. So, I fly economy and think nothing of it, despite cramped seats and having to negotiate my side of the armrest before things come to fisticuffs; despite the long lines to use the bathroom and the outrageously overpriced buy-on-board fare that many airlines are favoring these days. I'm rather used to flying economy, usually sitting beside that guy ... you know the one ... avoiding eye contact, burying myself in my book or Sudoku puzzles or trashy celeb magazines --my secret or not-so-secret now that I've told you, in-flight indulgence. I simply pull out my travel journal, put on my iPod and hunker down with an assortment of snacks purchased in advance of the flight. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/GeorgetteNewZealand32008.html Wellington is not just famous for boots. This small city, the capital of New Zealand, is known for its charming hilltop dwellings, its westerly wind drift, the bay, Peter Jackson and cafes. Nature is close by. The culture is tranquil chic and everyone seems to enjoy life in the beautiful city on the harbor. The temperature in winter hovers around 55 degrees Fahrenheit and in summer, it only rises to the low 70s. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny09172008.html Greetings! This week we're going to take a spin on a new airline that serves New York and Toronto (other U.S. gateways are in the works). And when I say Toronto, I mean downtown, baby! The small airport this airline flies into is actually just on the outskirts of the city on an island, making it a joy to travel to and from -- especially considering the immigration process. Then we'll check into a hotel that's so plush that most Hollywood stars stay there when they're in town. And then there's the border crossing. Do I have some tips for you on driving across the border; I made the jaunt a couple of times. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/GeorgetteNewZealand22008.html Welcome back to the second installment of my four-part series on New Zealand. When we left off last week, I was in Queenstown. I flew Air New Zealand from Queenstown to Christchurch, a quick one-hour flight that can cost as little as $80 NZ. The most amazing thing was that I just walked on to the plane ... no security! It actually felt quite strange walking out of the beautiful, one-gate airport on to a plane without any hassle! This is just one reason to love New Zealand! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/MikeRimini22008.html Welcome back to part two of my tour around Italy's northern region. When we left off last week, I had visited the walled city of Urbino, Verruchio and San Leo. But as you'll see in this week's story, there's much more to this area to discover! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny09102008.html Greetings! This week we fly out to California to attend a Malibu beach party and then almost head back to New York City in the middle of Tropical Storm Hanna. Would you believe that I actually grabbed my bags from the overhead bin and walked off the plane because I didn't feel comfortable? More details to come. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/GeorgetteNewZealand12008.html I really had no idea what to expect when I left Southern New England on a balmy day in June and headed for New Zealand's South Island. I was going from the middle of my summer in the U.S. to the middle of New Zealand's winter. I arrived in Auckland during a cold rain and couldn't see much from my window. But when my domestic Air New Zealand flight approached the Remarkable Mountain range of Queenstown, I was awestruck by the rounded peaks; they looked like the volcanic hills of Tahiti, but instead of tropical plants, the mountains were snowcapped and trailed by an almost black verdant covering. In all my travels, it was scenery I'd never seen before. Had I arrived on another planet? Well, almost. The people were as friendly as Munchkins, the air was cleaner than anything I'd ever breathed and little did I know ... I was in for the time of my life! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/MikeRimini2008.html In the northern part of central Italy, there exists a region of charming hill towns and imposing castles. Panoramic vistas beautify the Apennine foothills and the Adriatic appears in the background. Gazing upon these views, a visitor will quickly realize how this beautiful landscape could easily become an artist's inspiration. For centuries, saints, poets and noblemen have frequented this fertile terrain of chestnut and olive tree orchards seeking sanctuary, inspiration and a lasting heritage. History enthusiasts take note; this location has afforded complete gratification for those seeking to admire medieval grandeur and Renaissance brilliance. The picturesque region is the Merchia Valley, also known as Valmarecchia, situated between the states of Emilia Romagna, Marche and Tuscany. In addition to its striking countryside and history, the Valmarecchia boasts a celebrated cuisine that offers flavorful regional dishes accompanied by some of Italy's most renowned wines. So without further delay and with much interest, I'm pleased to say that the Valmarecchia and the Province of Rimini are my next destinations. Join me, won't you? http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny09032008.html I can't believe summer is almost over in North America. Labor day marks the unofficial end of my favorite season, thus making it my least favorite holiday. I guess, like Pavlov's dog, I've learned a trained response after all these years. As a kid, Labor Day meant that it was time for the beaches to close in the northeast, there would be a slight chill stinging the air and worst of all, it was time to go back to school and do homework. Boo! The good news is that my brother and I made the most of a hot summer weekend by taking a trip out to Shelter Island. If you're up for learning about this place on the far end of Long Island, then grab your boat shoes and come cruising with us. You'll love this place; it's got a little bit of Americana and a touch of the south of France, all rolled up in one. What's not to love? http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/JohnSimeonHawaii2008.html Out my back window, the high desert summer is maturing. The days have been shortening and cooling to the high fifties and sixties. The few strands of summer green have become muted amongst the grays and browns of the sagebrush. It is late August in the mountains of California. The Eastside of California or "the right side of California" as I sometimes call it. Though, some might not call it that for one reason: The short season for swimming. It takes time for mountain lake waters and streams to lose their iciness. Swimming in May one bathes in solitude. In June, bathing requires fortitude. But in July and August, if you know where to go, the pristine waters of the Eastern Sierra's water holes and lakes is unparalleled, at least in the freshwater swimming department. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny08272008.html Greetings from Pennsylvania! After attending a public relations conference in Pittsburgh, then checking out a few sights and dining at a handful of restaurants in the city, I've come to a conclusion: Pittsburgh gets a bad rap that it just doesn't deserve. I've been to Pittsburgh many times in the summer and each visit, it just keeps getting better. If you want to learn why, then come along for the ride. After Pittsburgh, we're hopping on a bus and driving two hours north to Erie (yes, I took Greyhound). All aboard! Oh wait; that's Amtrak's slogan. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/AnnaWashingtonHeights2008.html Since arriving in New York six months ago, I've heard many a hip Village resident proclaim, "Nothing happens above 12th Street." Visitors to Manhattan usually follow in suit, venturing only as far north as Central Park. But look a little further north, okay, more than a hundred blocks further north, and you'll find a slice of Manhattan that so often goes unnoticed. The humble streets of Washington Heights, however, have attracted political leaders, artists, immigrants since the 18th century, and more recently inspired the Tony-nominated Broadway musical In the Heights. Washington Heights also just happens to be where I have been living for the past half a year. After a long winter of hibernation, I thought it due time to get out into my neighborhood and explore. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny08202008.html Greetings from America's east coast! This week we fly from Los Angeles to New York on Delta Airlines (can you believe they just raised their fees for mileage awards to a ridiculous amount?) and then on to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in one of jetBlue's new ERJ-190s. If you're interested in seeing what this plane has to offer, plus take a backstage tour of Broadway's hottest show then what are you waiting for? Let's go! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/MargotBlackSantaBarbara2008.html Picturesque Santa Barbara, California has an irresistible charm that you can't help but notice from the moment you arrive. The city has spectacular beaches, abundant scenic waterfront walkways and an elegance and sophistication that comfortably co-exists alongside a casual beach vibe. The area is packed with attractions, activities, restaurants, parks, festivals, marinas, hiking trails, shops, award-winning wineries, impressive architecture and historical monuments. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny08132008.html Greetings from the world's largest passenger airplane! The A380 made its U.S. debut last week when Emirates Airlines made the first commercial landing of the mammoth, double-decker passenger plane on American soil. The A380 is so special because it's the world's only twin-deck, four-aisle airliner and I was fortunate enough to get one of the coveted invites for a two-hour cruise up the Californian coast. With all the media and hype surrounding the event (including the fact that Buzz Aldrin was on board), I felt like I was witnessing a new era in airline history. To find out what it's like to fly on this plane, see a ton of pictures and check out a two-minute Johnny Jet video, then come aboard and fasten your seatbelt! http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/DavidZuchowskiDisappearingDestinationsBookReview2008.html One of the joys of traveling is becoming awestruck by a gorgeous vista or a wild, pristine and scenic panorama; to be enthralled by a visit to a remote, yet favorite hot spot such as China's Great Wall, Machu Picchu or the Taj Mahal. Yet often, the very appeal of these places begins the cycle of visitation and degradation that threatens to eventually spoil and defile them. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/DesmondGullane2008.html There's a bend in the road at Longniddry, when you come out to the sea and turn right. It opens a view that ties together the elements that bring a thrill of anticipation to anyone who has ever played Scotland's game. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny08062008.html Greetings from Los Angeles! With my impeccable sense of timing, I made it back home just in time for the earthquake. I was here for a few days to attend the largest business travel convention and a couple of parties; one sane, the other not so much. This week, I have some tips and tricks for you, about flying coast-to-coast, news and pictures from the National Business Travel Association conference I attended, including shots of many airlines' new premium class seats, and pictures from a six-man volleyball tournament that should really be played on October 31. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/MarcMeredithCustomHotel2008.html This boutique airport hotel is anything but typical, offering a welcome change of pace for layover passengers. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/BuzzyTravelGear2008.html One of the more odious airline strategies to offset fuel prices (and stick it once more to consumers), is charging passengers for checked luggage. (Hopefully, U.S. airlines will not go as far as SAS, which charges even for tea, coffee and soft drinks on its intra-Scandinavian flights; if you're lucky, a hot drink might be free.) As more people start carrying otherwise checked luggage on board, the flying experience grows more frustrating: aisles clog during boarding while passengers struggle to shove bags of all shapes and sizes into overhead compartments that stubbornly refuse to expand to accommodate the increased loads. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/MillionMileFlyerJetBlue2008.html For those of you who try to leave New York on a Friday night for a weekend trip, this might sound a bit like stating the obvious but here I go: It's much easier to leave on Saturday morning! For a start, the limo ride normally takes only 40 minutes from Manhattan to JFK on a Saturday. On a Friday night, it's a lottery. It's almost impossible to judge how long the trip will take you. http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny07302008.html Greetings from the good ol' U S of A! I'm back in the States, this time in New York City. The flight from Dusseldorf to New York was easy; immigration was not. This week, we're covering some highlights in New York City and some lowlights, too, like my brother being diagnosed with cancer. It's been quite a week. So, turn on your air conditioning, sit back, relax and I'll tell you all about my trip to New York. BTW: Did you know that you can take a hot air balloon ride in Central Park? http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny07232008.html (Guten tag from Berlin. We're picking up where we left off last week, which was at the Tegel Airport. If you're interested in discovering this fascinating and relatively inexpensive city, then grab your walking shoes and don't forget your camera) http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/MargotBlackBabyProductReview2008.html (Innovative products that make traveling with kids a breeze. By Margot Black) http://rd.smartertravel.com/?r=SL_jj_textlink_travel-advice002_week0725 (The real cost of flying is harder than ever to determine thanks to new fees for checked bags, food and beverages, and other services that used to be free. In part one of this Airline Fees Survival Guide, Jessica Labrencis showed you which fees to compare before you book your flight. This week, I'll be demonstrating how to avoid being caught by fees at the airport and in the sky. ) http://rd.smartertravel.com/?r=SL_jj_textlink_travel-advice001_week0725 (The U.S. is a hodge-podge of different regions, each with a unique personality. Thus, even in difficult economic times like these, when Europe and far-flung destinations seem impossible to afford, you can still find a world-class destination in your own backyard. Here are my top picks for places that I consider to be classic stops you won't find anywhere else in the world. Plus, you won't have to spend a fortune to experience them in style.) http://www.johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/WheresJohnny07162008.html (Newsletter for July 16, 2008)
