Save/ShareItching to hit the road for a few weeks--or months? Then visit Start Backpacking, a website that offers step-by-step advice on how to escape from your cubicle. The site, which launched today, is written for people willing to travel independently for an extended time. It's built by veteran traveler Gregory Rodgers and covers all the basics you need to start "vagabonding."
Now this is an impressive hotel website. The California chain of boutique hotels Joie de Vivre re-launched its website last week, and its new design deserves to win an innovation award. Like a Ron Popeil kitchen gadget ("It slices! It dices!"), the site does everything: Fill out a quiz, and it'll suggest which one of its roughly 30 hotels may most closely match your personality. Curious about the neighborhood where any hotel is located? Then watch one of the site's professionally produced videos about local attractions. Want to make a friend of a fellow traveler? Then look through the profiles of other guests who have visited the hotel. Check it out here.
Las Vegas gets the blogger it deserves. Sin City received its first blogger with a city-wide perspective a few weeks ago when Paul Geary started Las Vegas Is Home. Fans of the city may like this blog's perspective because it riffs on the local news in a casual style. While Sin City receives plenty of coverage for its celebrities and business deals, this blog is unique because it doesn't allow itself to be swept away by the local gusts of hype.
User reviews and comments that include profanity or personal attacks or other inappropriate comments or material will be removed from the site. Additionally, entries that are unsigned or contain "signatures" by someone other than the actual author will be removed. Finally, we will take steps to block users who violate any of our posting standards, terms of use or privacy policies or any other policies governing this site. Please review the full rules governing commentaries and discussions.
Thank you for the nice mention of my site in "This just in" I have been a reader for a long time.
Cheers!
Greg Rodgers

I do enjoy the way you have framed this particular problem and it does present us some fodder for thought. Nevertheless, from what I have experienced, I really wish when the actual feedback stack on that men and women remain on point and don't get started upon a soap box of some other news of the day. Still, thank you for this exceptional piece and though I do not necessarily concur with this in totality, I regard the standpoint.

[...] Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the net the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about worries that they just don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks [...]
