Feb 22nd, 2009 at 9:00AM: Earlier this week we learned how 2009 is shaping up to be the most affordable year to visit Africa ever and now it seems the New York Times agrees, saying that Cape Town has plenty of bargains to offer travelers willing to make the trip. Cape Town, South Africa is amongst the more unique and interesting cities in the world. The city of 3.5 million people is a thriving modern metropolis, ...History's Most Famous Travel Adventures
Feb 20th, 2009 at 8:32AM: There is no doubt that history has a level of influence on the places that many of us visit. We read about far off places and exotic adventures, and it fires our own imaginations, sometimes compelling us to take a journey of our own, and experience the things that we've dreamed about. Forbes Traveler has put together an excellent list of the greatest travel adventures from history, not only ...A Self Indulgent Interview with Helen Zille, Mayor of Cape Town, South Africa
Jan 9th, 2009 at 9:00AM:
I won't interview just anyone. I'm Mike Barish, after all. I like to speak with dynamic, interesting, foward-thinking people who fascinate me. In the past, I interviewed Mike Lee, head of one of the country's most exciting and up-and-coming underground eating clubs.
This time around, I scored a major coup. Well, maybe coup isn't the right word given the position of my subject. I had the great ...Fly in South Africa - and pay by the minute

Of course, upstart airlines are nothing new, they appear (and disappear) every month. Airtime Airlines is different though, and grabbed our attention thanks to an innovative new pricing method. The airline has taken a cue from the mobile phone industry, ...Hotels for art lovers
Mar 3rd, 2008 at 1:00PM: Last time I went to San Francisco I was happy to come across Hotel des Arts, a well-priced boutique hotel. I am normally a hostel-goer, so anytime I can branch out and have my own room it's cause for celebration. Despite Hotel des Arts being an actual hotel, I was even more excited about its use of art as interior design. The hotel hired a San Francisco gallery owner, John Doffing, to curate the ...Top 10 Hostels Around the World
Sep 11th, 2007 at 2:55PM: Our friend Benji over at the Guardian has compiled a list of the top 10 hostels around the world. "When I say I'm staying in a hostel instead of a hotel, they think I'm subtlety telling them I have a drug problem," he writes. "But things have changed, people. Not all hostels are grubby dives run by people called Starchild." It's true; some of the cheapest and most unique places to rest your weary ...World's Best Road Trips
Jun 18th, 2007 at 9:26AM: In March, my wife and I drove from Florida's east coast to its west coast for a long weekend. In total, we put 600 miles on the car. Does that qualify as a road trip -- or is it just a long drive? In August, we're planning on taking our two dogs and driving from Florida, through Georgia, and up to Indiana. We plan to be gone for 2+ weeks, and that trip will add about 2500 miles to the car. Does ...
