Travel Homework Assignment

When traveling abroad, I suggest that you do your homework. Don’t assume the airline or anyone else will do it for you. I recently spent a month traveling via Jet Blue’s “All You Can Jet” promotion. I was on the road photographing places that I had never been. I visited 4 countries and spent time in 11 cities. I would have visited 5 countries if I had done my homework. The last country on my itinerary was Bermuda. When I landed and attempted to pass thru the Bermudian Customs and Immigration, I was pulled into secondary. There I was informed that I could not enter their country without a reservation (hotel). After my 3 and a half hour visit to the Bermuda International Airport, I was put on a flight back to the lovely United States. Lucky for me US Customs did not require a reservation.

Kevin, what was the cost of the Jet Blue promotion? How often do you find these kind of travel deals?
