January 25th, 2010 by Teacher's Pet
I NEED A WINTER VACATION AND IT ‘S NOT TO LATE TO BOOK
It’s now middle of January, the holidays are over and the weather up to this week has been cold. 
Sometimes it’s easy to book ahead but sometimes you were not planning that extra trip but whoa- now you need to really get away.

Airport Security and Checkin
January 10th, 2010 by Teacher's PetI PLEDGE NOT GET TO THE AIRPORT 3 HRS EARLIER AND OTHER SAGE TRAVEL ADVICE
Packing for a trip, any trip, long or short has so many pitfalls. This latest scare has just made it more difficult but I refuse to give in and NOT TRAVEL. Take the case of checked vs. non-checked luggage. I always checked most of my luggage and carried only a large purse on the plain. I hated schlepping all that stuff through airports when I had to stop at baggage for my large piece anyways. I would pack all my make-up and hair products in checked luggage so would just sail through security with a small notebook computer that I carried in my large purse and nothing else to hold me back. But then the checked baggage fees put a crimp in that smooth plan so Chuck and I have learned to take one large carry on if the trip is less than 1week and does include dressy cloths because of the cost of checking baggage. I am much more successful than Chuck thanks to CHICOS clothing brand, but I did have to scale back on my shoe choices and amounts, and any women can agree that is the most difficult decision. I got pretty darn good with the make-up but the hair products did pose a challenge.

The MEDITERREAN
January 10th, 2010 by Teacher's PetI love the MED either by a long cruise or by car or train. It has the most amazing landscape either from viewing it from a ship out at sea or riding along the coast and looking behind where you came, forward to where you are going, or just being mesmerized by the colors of the sea. I have not yet traveled along the lower MED hitting such amazing sites as Alexandria, Dubai, or Turkey but plan on doing so in the next year or two. My experiences have all been along the European MED from Barcelona to Athens, which technically is not part of the MED but included in many talks of the MED.

Morocco and Madrid
January 3rd, 2010 by Teacher's PetMorocco- How exotic does that sound!! Very Humphrey Bogart/Casablanca but much much more if you listened to the show this week. Heidie, who did a segment of the show today is a good friend of ours and Heidi and I have traveled the world together before the TRAV PROF entered my life. When she told me of the sleeping in the desert in a large tent with the desert tribes and riding the camels I could not wait to see her pictures which were breathtaking. The country is one of Africa’s most popular travel destinations and according to www.IEXPLORE.COM

Medical Tourism
December 20th, 2009 by Teacher's PetI am quite conflicted over this subject. After working in a hospital in Detroit for 30 years and knowing the margin of success depends on elective procedures on Hips, Knees, Hearts, and Plastics it’s hard to celebrate the success of this new concept. On the other hand it’s hard to ignore it as it is a growing enterprise- 60 million procedures expected over the next five years is no small matter.

Alaska
December 13th, 2009 by Teacher's PetWe last (first for me) visited Alaska in the summer of 2008. It was my first trip and the Travelprof’s six trip- thus started the first discussion on “what to bring and wear on your trip to Alaska”. We try to travel light but I wanted mittens, hat, scarf, warm coat and he said” it’s July- it will be warm, sunny, and daylight 23 hrs- you don’t need all that stuff!”
