TRAVEL HITS ~~ HOW ONE TRAVELER GIVES TO MANY ~~ CLASSIC HOTELS REDONE

Every day begins much the same way as everyone else I know, with perusing the computer for whatever happened overnight: breaking news, pressing emails, Twitter feed, etc. After obligations are taken care of, the thing I most look forward to is finding out what is happening in the world of travel.  That might be local or overseas (are people a little nervous these days?); what others have experienced lately; new and/or interesting hotels to visit; and, of course, creating my own trips!

There are so many online sources it becomes a bit mind-boggling trying to take it all in.  Forthwith, a few recent favorites :
