A few travel stories that caught my eye this past week:
Kentucky's Bourbon Trail This 225-mile tour of distilleries makes an "offbeat version of a day out in California's Napa Valley." [Lonely Planet]
50 of the World's Best Budget Hotels Chains from huge to tiny get attention here. [Telegraph, via Happy Hotelier]
Historic Boston has great haunts, on the cheap Dedicated last month: a "string of parks and fountains" made possible by the Big Dig. [Boston Globe]
Auf Wiedersehen, Tempelhof Berlin's Tempelhof Airport closes, but not without protests. [BBC]
Nova Scotia's pre-Jurassic park Fossil-hunting in the Maritime Provinces [Christian Science Monitor]
Redeem your Marriott loyalty points now The program will likely get stingier next year [Loyalty Traveler]
The airline industry by the numbers The average U.S. low-cost carrier lost about a $1 after expenses every time they flew a passenger this year. Worldwide, the average airline lost $12 loss per passenger. [Foreign Policy]

Yes--agreed! That Post article had some fabulous writing.
There must be a Bourbon thirst going on! The NY Times had *two* features on it last year:
