We just came across this site and had to pass it along! Jaunted.com is a “pop culture travel guide for globetrotters, business road dogs, and arm chair travelers who are too harried to sit down with a traditional travel guide, or wait for a monthly travel magazine.” Aimed at grabbing the attention of those with short web-induced attention spans, they also encourage readers to submit stories about their travel adventures.

Take a look at this post, which offers their Top Five Passport Tips.

If you fly through New York’s Kennedy Airport, news of a flight delay might not be so bad. Now through November 25th, Jet Blue is featuring the Live from T5 concert series in its new terminal. At 5 p.m. on select Fridays, the airline will host indie musical acts. Partnering with Superfly Productions, the airline will also run an online contest for aspiring bands. The public will choose a winner who will then play the terminal in August.

For more information, visit Jet Blue’s event page.

Excess may be passe, but we had to share this ridiculously opulent luggage offering. Bottega Veneta, known for luxurious leather goods, has a set of luggage that’s worth $157,000. The six piece set, which includes three suitcases (small, medium and large), a beauty case and a duffle bag, is finished in noce fume rich brown soft-finished alligator skin. Not in the market for a full set of luggage that is worth three times the amount of the average American income? Not to worry, because each piece is also sold individually ranging from $23,000 to $47,000…presumably worth more than the average American car.

If $30k is still out of your price range, visit Luggage Online for luggage and travel goods that are priced a bit more reasonably.
