This blog is moving!

The big news is my blog is moving to a new location from next week. I have joined the team at Boardingarea.com


BoardingArea was developed by the same people who founded some of the most popular business travel and frequent flyer Web sites on the Internet.

They say: "In our years covering topics of interest to the business traveler, we bookmarked the best business travel blogs we stumbled across, and even hosted one of the first blogs in this arena - View From the Wing. Now we're sharing those bookmarks with you.. all in one place."

The business travel blogs you will find on BoardingArea are the best of the best, the cream of the crop, the cat's meow ... you get the idea. Each blog in the BoardingArea network has been hand selected by our team for its quality of content, its timeliness, and, last but not least, for its entertainment value.

And I am joining them. Thank you for the vote of confidence and I hope to see you over there soon.

New site: http://boardingarea.com/blogs/wildabouttravel/
