Travel Industry's Top Most Innovative Companies ...

I can't confirm my agreement as I haven't tested the products of all of these companies, but here are the top 10 according to Fast Company magazine

  1. Airbnb  -  no surprise here!
  2. Tesla  -  again, no surprise with this one!
  3. Google (world's travel agent)
  4. Alta Bicycle Share
  5. Wild China
  6. Lyft
  7. Weathersphere
  8. Peek
  9. Tensator
  10. Hoteltonight  -  I've had this app on my phone for quite a while but confess that I've never used it. I've always assumed they only have cheap hotels and I prefer more upscale hotels. Maybe I should actually open the app.

Burke Alert! Family Reunion ...

Burke Alert!

I love the sound of that.  It makes me smile.

Aunt Carol Ann issued a "Burke Alert" on Facebook today:  If you're planning to book a hotel room for the annual family reunion, the hotel near the annual site of the reunion is now taking reservations.  They have a limited number of available rooms this year so you need to book quickly.

Go ahead.  Book 'em, Burkes!  Or you risk sleeping under a tree in a sleeping bag.
