The Insider: A Tale of Two Airlines -- National Geographic Traveler
The Insider: A Tale of Two Airlines -- National Geographic Traveler
From the December 2012/January 2013 issue of National Geographic Traveler
In travel, as in life, there are heroes and villains. There’s good and evil. And there’s Southwest Airlines and Spirit Airlines.
Both are no-frills discount carriers, and both are success stories in the economic sense. But that’s where the similarities end.
Spirit is known for its preponderance of fees, the risqué tone of some of its ads (as in the naughty “MILF” acronym for its “Many Islands, Low Fares” sale), and a take-it-or-leave-it attitude toward customer service. Southwest has a reputation for inclusive fares (one of the few airlines left that don’t charge extra for a checked bag), a Texas-style hospitality (concerts on planes), and its famous customer-focused way.
A look at these airlines offers a window into the relationship between air carriers and their customers, revealing why the modern flying experience can be so infuriating... http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/traveler-magazine/the-insider/airline-comparison/

Rick Steves: Greece in Economic Crisis and Your Travel Dreams
Rick Steves checking out the impact of the economic crisis

Retrieved December 2, 2012
With all the news about Greece’s economic problems, people
are wondering whether it’s a good time to go there or not. I’ve surveyed my
Tour Department and our Greek guides who live and work in Greece, and here’s my
report…
My guides report that our Greece tours so far this spring
have been as smooth and fun as ever — virtually unaffected by the local
political and economic events
The big concern among the hotels and restaurants we use in
Greece is whether they’ll be able to survive the downturn in tourism as many
postpone their travels there, fearing “instability.” And many sights are
running on their shorter winter schedules for lack of money to staff the longer
summer hours.
… First and foremost, Greece is a safe place to visit. In
fact, it’s a good time to visit because you will be made especially welcome.
Tourism is Greece’s heavy industry and its leading employer.
It seems to me that US media coverage of Greece has been
nothing less than hysterical — just plain silly at times, and woefully lacking
in analysis. Greeks are emotional people, and they are given to outbursts of
anger — as well as outbursts of joy. Their bad governments in recent times have
given them plenty of reasons to be angry. The scenes in Syntagma, the big
square immediately in front of the Greek parliament building, are a symptom of
this — and act as a release valve. These scenes occur only when the parliament
is voting on the hated austerity measures. When you see riots on TV, they are
generally the work of a group of anarchists who are limited to Syntagma and
know how to get on the news.
The big debate politically is austerity (from the right)
versus no austerity (from the left). Until this all sorts itself out, I would
recommend that travelers do not wear “Angela Merkel” masks. Regardless of how
the debate turns out, and who emerges as the new government, Greeks of all
political stripes will take care of tourism, so vital to its struggling
economy. The Greeks, a welcoming people at any time, will be doubly
appreciative of any visitors in these difficult circumstances.
The main impact on travelers as Greece struggles through
this period will be: shorter hours of sights; intermittent strikes; and friends
and loved ones back home wondering if Americans traveling in Greece are okay… http://blog.ricksteves.com/?p=7675

Notre Dame: Shriver Manuscripts of the American Civil War
I was researching the letters between members of the Shriver
family during the American Civil War, for an upcoming column in January 2013,
and came across an unexpected great source of information at Notre Dame:

Introduction to the Shriver Family Correspondence
By George Rugg
The Shriver correspondence is a small group of mostly
war-related notes and letters, written from 1860 to 1865 by the brothers Andrew
Keiser Shriver (four items) and Thomas Herbert Shriver (three items). The
authors were two of the thirteen children of William and Mary Owings Shriver of
Union Mills, Carroll County, Maryland. The Union Mills Shrivers were a locally
prominent family, whose "homestead" on the Westminster-Gettysburg
road served as a base for various entrepreneurial and political activities. At
the time of the Civil War ownership of the homestead properties was divided
between William Shriver (1796-1879), who managed the milling operations, and
his brother Andrew. The children of William and Mary Shriver were raised as
Roman Catholics, under the tutelage of their mother… http://www.rarebooks.nd.edu/digital/civil_war/letters/shriver/

Recently the General Federation of Women's Clubs' Woman's Club of Westminster unveiled Big Baker Chapel as its ninth holiday ornament for the Christmas season.
The ornament sale is a fundraiser for the club, which for the last 101 years has provided community service and support. According to the club, "The sales from these ornaments enable our Club to help serve the needs in our community including the arts, conservation, education, home life, international outreach and public issues."
In past years, the Woman's Club has paid tribute to McDaniel College's (Little) Baker Chapel and Ward Memorial Arch, Westminster City Hall and the Carroll County Courthouse.
Other buildings recognized by the club include the Westminster Armory, the bell and clock tower that sits atop the old Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Company No. 1 fire hall, the Old Stone Building on Liberty Street and the Shellman house on the campus of the Historical Society of Carroll County… Read more: http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/ph-ce-eagle-archive-1125-20121124,0,5911926.story
