I’ve commented before on the curious disconnect that has seen the governor of the state that has been worst affected by the virus become perceived as a hero and praised for his role in …
Here’s a major feature story in the NY Times headed “‘Way Too Late’: Inside Amazon’s Biggest Outbreak“. You don’t have to guess too hard to realize this is not a gushy article full of …
There’s a looming and alarming new challenge (threat) on the horizon, in an area I’d never thought to question, but now I’ve become aware of it, problems seem inevitable. We have repeatedly covered how …
I should clarify (or perhaps unclarify!) something. I absolutely do not know whether the US should be locking down more or easing off its restrictions. Nothing I’ve said to date is intended to suggest …
Now that I’ve finished writing it, I realize that today’s diary entry is very negative. It isn’t my wish to be unduly negative, but if there’s a more positive way to spin the items …
A reader/friend sent me a link to one of the myriad of virus themed websites that have sprung up over the last few months – covid19.live. It is a nice enough site, albeit without …
I bemoaned, yesterday (and not for the first time) the lack of consensus and lack of clarity about what the future should be. Here is an article that talks some more about this, with …

Usually weekly, since 2001, we publish a roundup of travel and travel related technology developments, and often a feature article too.
You’ll stay up to date with the latest and greatest (and cautioned about the worst) developments. You’ll get information to help you choose and become a better informed traveler and consumer, how to best use new technologies, and at times, will learn of things that might entertain, amuse, annoy or even outrage you.
We’re very politically incorrect and love to point out the unrebutted hypocrisies and unfairnesses out there.
This is all entirely free (but you’re welcome to voluntarily contribute!), and should you wish to, easy to cancel.
We’re not about to spam you any which way and as you can see, we don’t ask for any information except your email address and how often you want to receive our newsletters.
Thanks for choosing to receive our newsletters. We hope you’ll enjoy them and become a long-term reader, and maybe on occasion, add comments and thoughts of your own to the newsletters and articles we publish.
We’ll send you a confirmation email some time in the next few days to confirm your email address, and when you reply to that, you’ll then be on the list.
All the very best for now, and welcome to the growing “Travel Insider family”.
David.
