SkyMall Kitties is the brainchild of the talented and amazing Nina Katchadourian. As a fan of all things SkyMall, I had to find out what inspired Nina to create such an epic ode to cats and gadgets. So, I did.
Check out my interview with Nina on Gadling and then download the song.
I already discussed why it’s OK to take tours. Now, over at Gadling, I cover what questions to ask before booking a tour. From language issues, to cultural issues to how much size matters, there are many things to consider before embarking on a guided tour.

If you’re like me, you only turn on the Travel Channel when No Reservations is on. Let’s face it: Anthony Bourdain is the only redeeming personality on that network, and they can’t even take credit for him or his show, as he had cultivated his brand long before joining the network.
