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 ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

May 23rd, 2009 at 12:00PM: Peter Island Resort & Spa is celebrating a new look with a fresh deal. The largest private island resort in the British Virgin Islands has refurbished its 32 ocean-facing rooms and 20 beachfront junior suites and wants to show off the new look. 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, ...Create a custom experience at the Palazzo Sasson
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 ...Mayan retro spa in Cancun
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 ...SkyMall Monday: Head Spa Massager
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 ...Sonoma Valley ideas for Valentine's Day
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. Okay, with that done, take a look below at 16 Valentine's Day ideas all involving travel to the Sonoma Valley. Wine, vineyards, resorts ... there's no need to keep thinking! Now, you have choices. Resorts, restaurants and hotels ...Galley Gossip: Gifts for the flight attendant (and frequent flier)
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 ...3M wants to feed you and give you a nice shoulder rub
Nov 19th, 2008 at 5:00PM: Travelers passing through Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson airport on November 25th and 26th will be able to get some soothing pampering, courtesy of 3M (yeah, the Post-It people). As part of a promotion for their laptop privacy screens, 3M has created a site dedicated to revealing airport secrets. Airporthavens.com has some fantastic tips, including where to find some free desktop workstations at ...A Canadian in Beijing: A Full Bodhi Massage
May 24th, 2007 at 3:06AM:
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 ...A Canadian In Beijing: Steamy Bathhouse in Shanghai
May 2nd, 2007 at 12:08AM:
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 ...Relax With a Hot Golf Ball Massage
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, ...
