Booking a Flight the Frugal Way
Joshua Lott/ReutersAn airplane departs Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix. It used to be so simple. You wanted to go to Paris, so you called a travel agency, gave them your dates and budget, and with any luck, you soon had in your hands a real paper ticket with a real dollar value. Even in the early days of the Internet, it was easier. You went to one of the few booking sites — Travelocity or Expedia, most likely — searched for your route, paid with a credit card and that was it. Maybe you even got a paper ticket in the mail. Today, however, booking a flight is a total mess. I’ve covered this territory a bit before — here and here — but today I’ll try to go into more detail. My first stop is, as it’s been for years now, Kayak.com. Kayak gives me two decent-looking options: $231 on American Airlines (Newark to Jackson via Chicago) and $241 for Delta (via Atlanta); taxes and fees included in both figures. Of course, I don’t stop there. bing.com Or is it? Kayak.com Related

National Palace Museum - 100 Museums to Visit Before You Die
Museums aren't just for people who love art and design. In truth, a museum is a place for anyone who's broadly interested in culture, whether it be their own or that of another people, country, or era. The "museum" is simply the building or vessel from which history, including the history of the present, is contained. Most museums aren't just for browsing artworks and getting a souvenir at the gift shop, though. Some on this list are as specific as the Museum of Transportation, the Titanic Museum, and the Simone Handbag Museum, and some are as broad as the Tokyo National Museum and the de Young Museum. If you haven't already gotten the point, a museum can be a fascinating place, and no one is the same as the next.

28 Places to See Before You Die—the Taj Mahal, Grand Canyon and More | Life Lists
Editor’s Note: We’ve since expanded our life list to 43 sites around the world for wildlife lovers, adventure seekers and those seeking just a respite from their busy schedules. "We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to," novelist Graham Greene once wrote. A growing number of Americans of all ages are embracing that idea by renewing a resolve to live life to its fullest. Exhibit A is the recent popularity of "life lists"—itineraries of things to do and places to go before taking the ultimate trip to the Great Beyond. Life list experts (yes, there are such beings) advise people not to set themselves up for disappointment by trying to accomplish too much. To that end, the staff of Smithsonian—as diverse a group of travelers as you're likely to meet—put their heads together to come up with an exclusive list of 28 places the Smithsonian reader might wish to visit before ...it's too late. – Mesa Verde – Pompeii – Tikal – Petra Here Today, Gone Tomorrow?
