Solo business travel can be downright depressing. Even if you hate team dinners (and your colleagues), don't mind dining alone and prefer a bit of privacy, frequent individual business trips can turn you into a hermit. After a while, you socialize ...

May 23rd, 2009 at 12:00PM: Peter Island Resort & Spa is celebrating a new look with a fresh deal.

Hey, if you just got a makeover, wouldn't you? So, the property is offering up the "New Us, New You" package, which runs through October 31, ...

Apr 25th, 2009 at 5:00PM: It doesn't take much to make Italy enticing. The prospect of staying at the Palazzo Sasso in Ravello, though, will effectively deprive you of your free will. This twelfth century palace has the laudable goal of treating you to the same standard as its original inhabitants.
Yeah, I can live with that.
Of course, times are tough, so everybody's upping the ante. For the Palazzo Sasso, this means ...

Apr 13th, 2009 at 3:00PM: A great massage needs no embellishment. The simple act of kneading stress from your body is enough. Warm Jacuzzi waters afterward complete the experience, especially when washed down with crisp cucumber water. A twist that enhances the experience, though, can matter, as I learned at the JW Marriott's spa in Cancun, Mexico.
The on-site spa infuses its treatments with Mayan ritual, adding a sense ...

Mar 9th, 2009 at 1:00PM: SkyMall Monday understands that we all have stress. Between our jobs, families and monkey attacks, the world can be an overwhelming place. You need to find ways to relieve the tension that life creates before it puts your health at risk. Sure, you could turn to alcohol or drugs, but that's expensive. You could call a hooker, but that's probably expensive, too (and if you keep it cheap, it's ...

Feb 3rd, 2009 at 4:00PM: Need ideas? Yeah, Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and like me, you probably haven't put a shred of thought into it. Take a moment to feel sorry for my wife.

Dec 19th, 2008 at 9:00AM: Here it is, what you've been waiting for, my 2008 list of holiday gifts for that special flight attendant (or frequent flier) in your life...
1. STARBUCKS GIFT CARD - Because there's a Starbucks in every city - and every airport. Most travelers I know can't start the day without a good cup of coffee. Note I said good. The coffee on the airplane is not good, and you know it, so don't act surprised ...

A couple of days ago, I went downtown to meet with my friend Stuart. I took the subway, of course, and emerged into a brilliant sunny day to see not one, but three tanned Australian smiles waiting for me at the top of the subway steps at the Beijing Zhan stop. Stuart works for a travel company called Intrepid Travel and he had brought two of his customers along and declared that we were all ...

One of the essential activities during my time here, according to Jeni, was for us to go to the "bathhouse." For me, coming from Toronto, this word is associated with more than bathing, if you know what I mean. It is laced with pleasure, kinkiness, anonymity and play. Basically, a lot of steam... of multiple origins. Shanghai's bathhouse was an experience I will never forget and one that will ...

Mar 28th, 2007 at 12:43PM: There's all sorts of weird ways you can get your muscles rubbed. We've previously mentioned the Israeli snake massage for the adventurous among you, and now comes the "Golf Specialty Massage." It sounds like something that's supposed to improve your swing, but no -- the golf balls are actually used to perform the massage.
No lies. If you visit the Four Seasons Resort at Troon North in Scottsdale, ...
