Here are more ideas for gifts for travelers. After I made my first list of ten ideas, I came up with even more. I hope that this helps you find that perfect gift for a traveler.
- iTunes gift card for music, TV shows, movies
- Noise canceling earbuds/headphones – BOSE makes the best but the Sony, Phillips, and JVC products are good
Many people travel in order to make their living. I am not speaking of airline pilots and flight attendants but instead regular business folks. They have to go to meetings, visit suppliers, and visit clients. They spend long hours in hotels, airports and planes.
If you know someone like this, what do you get them for a gift? Here is a list of 20 things to consider – something is definitely in your price range.
- iPod Touch. Actually an iPhone is okay to give but since it requires a cellular data plan it is not a fantastic gift. Make sure that the iPod Touch has as much memory as possible so that multimedia files can be stored and played.
I know that we aren’t supposed to refer to H1N1 as the Swine flu anymore because it is hurting the sales of pork products. On the flip side, you can barely watch the news anymore without it being referred to as Swine so I am not going to change the world.
I want to reiterate the good advice from I Think Therefore I Rant and warn everyone to NOT drink from hotel glassware. The only exception to this is if you see that the maids are actually collecting the glassware to take it downstairs to the kitchen to be appropriately cleaned. If you aren’t sure, then stick to bottled water and paper cups.
The Wall Street Journal recently ran an article entitled “How to Travel Smart This Summer”. Here I will summarize their thoughts as well as add a few of my own since travel has gotten even more complicated and expensive with the high cost of fuel.
Don’t change your mind
The fees of most airlines and many hotels have increased. In this tight market, these providers are less likely to be forgiving on a change and are going to take the opportunity to extract more money from your wallet now that you are probably in panic mode. WSJ says that American is now charging $150 on changes.
A few years ago the city of Cincinnati built a stadium for what at the time was one of the worst teams in professional football. This is probably what they needed to turn the franchise around. Playing in a beautiful stadium must have been the magic since the Bengals are typically a very competitive team now and often discussed as a playoff contender.
The stadium is one of the nicest football venues that you will find. It holds over 65,000 screaming fans, it has fantastic scoreboards that show live video, and has plenty of restrooms. It is the only football stadium to make the “Americans’ Favorite Buildings” coming in at 101. Only 10 sporting structures made that list.

Sometimes you just need to take a break and get away from everything. Deadlines, work pressure, your boss? Whatever your reason is, weekend trips often do wonders for your health, and relationships (if you are taking your friends or family with you).
As a weekend getaway, you may be content by going to a beach located just a two hour drive away from the city, or maybe consider a bed and breakfast in a place nearby. For some people however, they prefer far destinations out of town, or even out of the country. They would rather fly on a Friday night and return back home on a Sunday evening. If you are planning a weekend getaway like this, there is one big mistake that you could ever make: over packing!

With the increase in security and increase of people using today’s major airports, there is no getting around the fact that there will be hold ups and snags in your itinerary. It is extremely easy to become irritable, and for good reason, while at the airport. From long times, other rude passengers, missing 
luggage, or even getting held up in the random security checkpoints, there are numerous ways to make you go crazy. But you might be thinking to yourself, “What can I do about all this?” Well, sometimes there is nothing you can do and I’m not going to pretend I can get you in the airport and in your seat with a smile on your face in twenty minutes, but there are a few things you can do that will decrease your chances of running into problems.

When considering when, where, how, for how long and what type of vacation, trip or holiday venture to undertake, we all get caught up in the anticipation, excitement and exhilaration. Sometimes we let the more important financial side of things slip a little. 
After all, for most of us, taking a vacation may only happen once a year, for some, even more infrequently. We tend to indulge and forget about our pocket book a little.
