New York
This Saturday and Sunday, hundreds of travel writers and bloggers will be taking over New York City for the second annual Travel Blog Exchange Conference. Two days of learning, collaborating (and probably a fair bit of partying) are sure to ensue.
For me, it’s my fourth trip to New York City, though I’ve got to admit I’ve previously been a bad tourist. I’ve never been to MOMA, I’ve never seen the Statue of Liberty, and I’ve never seen a Broadway play.
We’ve been reading up on all the places in New York to watch World Cup matches. But, here’s the thing – to our utter surprise and amazement, not everyone in New York is a tourist or blogger at home in their pajamas. It appears people go to something called “an office” everyday!

A quick comparison of the prices on fares from New York’s trio of airports to cities around the globe with the fares from other airports in the US shows that almost any time of year, the
