The birth of a Travel Nation has spawned the birth of a sale. Yes, Pumpkins, I have it on woolly authority that Jonathan Carrol has done it again. Travel Nation Canada is rumoured to have been acquired by Seekda. What is…
Thank God for Google, pumpkins. One of the ditzy dinkettes called me in a panic yesterday, saying she had received a press release but simply could not understand what it meant. Clearly she was fearing early onset cognitive dementia, and…
I love the fact that airlines are installing AC outlets right at your seat, Pumpkins. You see, I travel with a number of devices (what used to be quaintly called marital aids) and I like to have them charged and…

Toronto’s High Park Zoo recaptures its fugitive Capybara on the same day Mark Linton reemerges in travel insurance. Coincidence, dahrlings? The capybara (of the genus Hydrochoerus) is a social animal known to be gregarious, although sometimes solitary. It lives in forests and near bodies…
