Feb 8th, 2013 at 2:00PM: Start talking about anything even remotely related to the topic of travel insurance and odds are the conversation will be short. This is not something that travelers dream about, plan for or share with their social networks. No one we know of has a scrapbook of insurance mementos picked up along the way or has written a song about it. To many travelers, travel protection is an annoying, ...Cruise Line Taps Top Artist For Hull Design

Stop by ...On Bermuda Time: Reflections on an expatriate life in the Caribbean
Dec 7th, 2011 at 9:00AM: Moving to Bermuda was never my idea, but when my wife followed her career to the City of Hamilton I hardly protested. After all, who wouldn't want to relocate to an idyllic archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean? Bags packed and container full, we waved goodbye to our metropolitan apartment and soon discovered what so many island ex-pats already knew: Bermuda is a wonderful place to call ...Last minute tropical Labor Day getaways
Aug 29th, 2011 at 3:00PM: Ready, set, book. The East Coast was largely spared the wrath of Hurricane Irene and no other pending tropical storms are threatening to ruin your upcoming three-day weekend. Why not jet away for a quick tropical vacation? From the East Coast, many Caribbean islands are a nonstop flight away, and from the west and Texas, Mexico is an easy jaunt.
Consider the following great last-minute Labor ...Summer Travel: Seven great luxury beach getaways
Apr 27th, 2011 at 2:00PM:

Play up the "luxe" factor at these great summer beach destinations for those seeking to see and be seen, enjoy world-class restaurants ...AirTran helps this travel writer put the "fun" back in flying
Apr 8th, 2011 at 10:31AM: Flying is not usually a fun experience, and, as a travel writer, I often dread the drudgery of airport security, limited fast food options and cramped middle seats. But sometimes, you're surprised. After a marathon security line at Baltimore-Washington International airport and a trudge down to the end of Terminal D, I heard peppy music, which I thought was emanating from the rum bar a few gates ...Top 20 countries for life expectancy
Mar 21st, 2011 at 10:00AM:
"Old people" - we all hope to live long enough to earn this distinction. In some countries, the probability of living well into your eighties is much better than in others. The worldwide average for life expectancy is just a smidge over 67, with the highest and lowest countries fluctuating by over 20 years in each direction. 39 of the bottom 40 countries are located on the African continent, ...Bermuda's Port Royal Golf Course hosts PGA

Jul 6th, 2010 at 1:30PM: No matter how well-traveled you are, moving to a foreign country and living as an expat is a whole new ballgame. Your priorities and standards change, and hours that you may have spent as a traveler in a museum or wandering a beach are now spent in as an expat search of an alarm clock or trying to distinguish between eight types of yogurt.

Mar 14th, 2010 at 9:00AM:
Sometimes, procrastinating doesn't come with any consequences. It doesn't happen often. We're taught from a young age that early birds get to kill and chomp on the best worms, not to put off to tomorrow the stuff we can do today (even if we don't feel like it) and to seize the day. If you don't, then opportunity may disappear before you get a taste. Well, Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa is ...Five steps to a better Valentine's Day from Fairmont
