As part of Blogathon 2013, I’ve been posting to the Travel Browsing blog every day in June. And while the writing and research have been a lot of fun, so has stumbling upon interesting sites, blogs, and stories. Here’s a short round-up of just some of the online articles I found especially helpful this week:

1) With Friday’s news of Southwest Airlines’ massive computer glitch and the subsequent grounding of its entire flight, the Minneapolis StarTribune posted:  How to complain about air travel woes .

2) Posted earlier today from Time Magazine:  5 Summer Travel Scams to Avoid   (Note to self  – beware of the Pineapple!)

3) From USA Today on Thursday – Guilt Trip:  Pet travel can be stressful for people too.  (Includes the fact that 15% of pet owners have snuck their dogs into “pets not allowed” hotels.)

This article reminds me of one I wrote for Southern Hospitality Magazine  a few years ago about hotels and resorts that specialize in pampering your pooch:  Bring Rover on Over

The bottom line from all these articles:  be polite and alert when traveling, and don’t let pet guilt keep you from enjoying your vacation. There are plenty of places that will take care of Fido in style!
