If you're only seeing 40 you're missing out on a lot. I have over 100 I'm tracking and curating on hack.travel and I know I'm missing a bunch.

I love the idea, but personally am too much a fan of expedient travel. I pack light (NEVER check a bag), prefer direct flights, and hate to wait around when I get somewhere. The thought of two long int. plane flights, then another 5 hours of travel just to get to the hotel, seems like a bit too much work. I'd be very cranky by the time I arrived... and then I'd stress thinking about the arduous journey back.
I'd go to a place like this to relax, so not me for. Just one opinion.

I made the conscious decision to cull when I went from reader to feedly and it has been quite liberating. I think I have only seen a dozen SouthWest AMAZING OFFER posts in the past few days where I'd be in the hundreds in the past! Heck I doubt I'd have kept my own crappy blog since I hardly ever post on it people would probably have forgotten who I was lol

My only salvation is for Feedly to blow up and I lose all my feeds for good. And I am not recreating them.
Oh, I saw 12 "Amazing Offers" in the past hour I think

Yeah but soon it's going to be a case of reading 100 posts saying here is an amazing offer, and then one post from TBB saying "here is the offer, if you go over to this tab here you can help me instead of all these evil people". yawn ;-)

Speaking of a new blog that I enjoy reading @MileAdventures http://mileadventures.com/
He actually writes thought provoking information.
Until a week ago, I never knew the guy existed. Now I think he's the most insightful blogger to come along this year. @:-)

Luckily he appears to have come to his senses and actually visited somewhere else beyond our two urban extremes.
