One of the weirdest news stories I've read in some time. Apparently some criminal gangs are smuggling dwarves in duffel bags into the luggage compartment of long-haul buses, where they loot the other passengers' bags.

When you book a trip online, email your itinerary to Tripit, and it will aggregate everything about your travel into a single page (plus it will pull in data from around the web that's relevant to your travel). Looks very handy.

The Trust buys up historic, umm, landmarks and rehabs them into vacation rentals. Sounds very cool. Most, but not all locations are in the UK. Anyone tried this?

An extensive collection of travel-related information, maps, links, and photos focusing on "sacred places" of all religious traditions around the world. Provides some interesting food for thought. I wonder how these places were chosen.

I read about this in Architectural Digest, of all places. Looks kind of slick. Though the old Airstreams are pretty hard to beat for coolness.

This is a classic (been around since 1994). Recently came back to it and thought maybe other clippers hadn't seen it. Simple, brilliant site, run by one guy - a long-time traveller - with more advice and practical information than any commercial site.

Basic information from US Airways about travelling with infants and children. Mostly common sense, but includes some specific policies that are good to know about.
