(Dave Barry On Cruise Ship Travel)

"We arrive in Cozumel, Mexico. After a hearty breakfast, we go ashore and experience Mexico, which consists of souvenir stores and restaurants where everybody speaks English and accepts dollars. Travel is a good way to learn about other cultures."

(Excerpt from "Cruise ship broadens waistlines but not horizons". Just one of Dave's many hilarious essays which appear in the paper every Sunday.)

Making progress.....I guess.

One giant leap for kind man.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't have a whole lot of travel on my immediate horizon. As usual it's a lack of money that I'm using as my excuse. I guess I spent a little too much time and money on my last two years' worth of trips and now I'm just gonna have to work it off for a while. On the bright side, this situation has encouraged me to think more seriously about what would be a more efficient, more rewarding way of doing my travels. I'm curious how the rest of you are doing it. How do you pay for your travels? Anyone out there getting paid TO travel? There are as many ways to do it as there are destinations to see, I reckon.

Maybe I should start a forum on the subject.
