David Armstrong's Web site for people who are passionate about travel.

There's a lot to know about the art of travel, and the state of the
art is changing all the time.

David Armstrong, a professional travel journalist since the early 1990s, provides fresh, factual takes, drawn from first-hand experience, on how to get the most from your travels. This site offers information on the latest developments at airlines, airports, hotels, resorts, spas and tours.

Want to know how well that new airline in-flight entertainment system is working or whether the latest hotel makeover really works for guests? In Review offers some great tips.

If you are interested in visiting quirky, off-the-beaten-track places, head over to Let's Get Lost for some leads. Want to know about the most important and timely travel developments? Try the This Just In section. Frequent fliers might be interested in the information listed in Window Seat. Occasionally, this site will register an opinion about what's going on in travel - or what's not going on, but should be - and you'll find those postings under at the Soapbox.

Just below, you'll find another constantly changing feature: David's Recent Articles, with links to the magazines, newspapers or Web sites that published them.

Whether it's a trip to the next town or the trip of a lifetime, we can help.

“Tokyo Fish Market: Chaos, Great Sushi’’ - There’s nothing like the taste of raw fish at 7:30 in the morning. Unless it’s the taste of beer at 7:30 in the morning to wash down the fish. That’s what the tableful of club-goers next to me are having, just after they, and I, have finished touring Tokyo’s tumultuous Tsukiji fish market.
