A new feature here at Explorations, every middle of the week we’ll provide you with quick hits of some of the most recent travel news, articles, anecdotes, tidbits and more that we think are blog-worthy. So, without further ado, let’s get to the good stuff…
— CNN has a pretty informative article about your rights as a flier. Bottom line: you don’t have very many (at least in the U.S.). Bonus! learn more about Rule 240.
— The Frugal Traveler (of the NY Times) seeks out “the cheap and chic” in Milan. Sounds good to me…
— Yahoo! Travel ranks the Top Ten U.S. Tourist Attractions based on number of visitors. Unsurprisingly, Times Square is tops. Kind of sad to see D.C.’s National Mall and Memorials rank below the Vegas Strip…
— The on-again, off-again plan to build a bridge from the Italian Mainland to Sicily is…back on again. The Financial Times has more. And check out a computer-generated image of what the bridge may will look like.
That’s it for this week. But feel free to recommend anything you think we may have missed in the comments section… We love feedback!
