travel

In my long-standing birthday tradition of 'getting the hell outta dodge,' I took a birthday road trip through Georgia last May, and along the way I spent a night at the Hostel in the Forest, a hostel where each rentable room is a standalone treehouse. If you've ever desired to live the life of an Ewok, or Robinson Crusoe, this is your destination.

In this heartwarming video, a man bought a plane ticket from Hong Kong to fly home and surprise his family, who weren't expecting him. Basically unless you did this for Thanksgiving too, you've been outdone. Putting raisins in the pumpkin cake just doesn't seem like that big of a shocker all of the sudden...

Let's face it, we've all come pretty close to nodding off at work. However, there are certain professions -- say, airline pilot -- where taking a quick snooze just isn't acceptable.

Holiday travel will bring increased traffic to the American highways this Thanksgiving weekend. However, with many families still simply trying to operate day-to-day on shoestring budgets, people are expected to plan shorter trips to carve their turkeys this year as a means to save money on fuel and other expenses.

Have you ever wondered exactly how wearing a seat belt is beneficial to your safety when traveling by airplane? Apparently, you are not alone. Budget airliner Ryanair is currently trying to implement a “standing room only” cabin for its passengers, allowing them to travel without any restraints.

Even though the price of holiday travel is on the rise, nearly 24 million people will still be shuttling across the friendly skies this Thanksgiving weekend.

On flights, it used to be that carry-on luggage was as free as a complimentary bag of peanuts, but that's all starting to change. In fact, a third small airline just added a fee for passengers who wish to bring a carry-on bag.

Now that Halloween is quickly approaching, why not grab a few friends and visit these 10 real-life locations that famous horror movies used in order to scare and thrill their audience? It's a good way to get some spine-tingling chills as you walk past these infamous sites without having to spend the money to visit a haunted house or go on a ghost tour.

As Halloween draws near, shut the lights off, grab your pet, a well-worn blanket, and curl up to read about some of the most spine-tingling and frightening places on Earth. As the ghost stories of each place draw you in, be aware of that disembodied footstep or strange rapping noise-it may just be a spirit trying to reach out to you!
