The airline industry is in a constant state of flux. In 2005, Trans Meridian Airlines quit doing business while EOS Airlines and Maxjet Airways took to the skies. By early 2006, Independence Air quit flying and Virgin America announced that they were seeking U.S. government approval in hopes of taking their first flight. Beyond the U.S. borders, the Mexican airline industry is in the process of being revolutionized as the Mexican government divests itself of interest in two leading carriers. With this particular decision a handful of new carriers are set to take off south of the U.S. border. To keep track of the all the changes involves a ton of work, but I’ve done the hard work for you. The following list contains all of the current airlines serving the Canada, the United States, and Mexico.

Did you know that a day at the beach can have a positive effect on one’s emotions? Or that even looking at a relaxing beach scene can have a calming effect? Maybe that’s why many people choose to spend their vacations at the water’s edge, either at the ocean, lake or river.

Where might you want to spend your next “water vacation?”

On an Island

There are so many island destinations around the world with fantastic beaches upon which to relax, as well as great diving, snorkeling and swimming opportunities.

Most people instantly think of the Hawaiian Islands of Hawaii, Maui, Oahu and Kauai. But if you’ve been to Hawaii and want to try something new, how about St. John, the smallest of the U.S. Virgin Islands? St. John was voted one of the “Top 5 Islands in The Caribbean, Bermuda, and the Bahamas,” by Travel + Leisure in 2006, voted one of the “Top 10 Caribbean/Atlantic Islands” by readers of Conde’ Nast Traveler in 2006, and voted “All-Around Destination” by readers of Caribbean Travel & Life in 2005.

The climate on St. John is nothing short of fantastic, ranging from the low 80s during the winter to the low- to mid-nineties in the summer. Lodging options range from pricey resorts on the beach (Caneel Bay Resort) to quite reasonable modest inns with shuttles that take you to the beach. One such modestly-priced inn is The Inn at Tamarind Court. With 20 units, 14 with bathroom, The Inn at Tarmarind Court starts at $110 - $120 for a double room in the off-season, $148 in the winter. You can reach them at 800/221-1637.

The growing demand for international travel is a by-product of the extensive efforts of many countries at tourism. This is evident in the distribution of pertinent travel literature by host countries at many overseas markets to sell local attractions to potential tourists, apart from lobbying with foreign embassies for the issuance of travel-friendly advisories.

The undeniable presence of travel agents and travel agencies in domestic markets has fast-tracked the promotion and sale of overseas destinations to locales who are enticed by discount travel rates, affordable tour packages and other vacation deals that are available at their choice destination. Apart from delivering regular sales functions, travel agencies assume the hustle and bustle related to overseas travel by providing premium services to clients. These services range from the booking of flights and hotel accommodation, securing of pertinent travel documents such as passports and visas, obtaining adequate travel insurance and coordinating with overseas agencies in the case of packaged tours. Legitimate travel agencies are usually affiliated with an international network of travel agents.—Ferienzeit ist Reisezeit.
