Jaunted Makes Arthur Frommer Burn His Guidebook

November 26, 2008 at 2:21 PM | by pbb | 1 Comment

News of our existence has apparently now reached the old media headquarters of Arthur Frommer's publishing empire, and the travel sage himself is lauding our inauguration travel coverage!

Says Frommer:

I never thought I'd ever discover anything of practical travel assistance on the trendy Jaunted.com website designed for social climbers who aspire to travel. But in an unguarded moment--and alerted to it by a young relative who actually does look at the jaunty Jaunted--I discovered their recent advice to buy Metro passes in advance of your trip to Washington, DC for the inaugural ceremonies and parade on January 20.

Hey, if he loved that advice, he'd probably get a thrill out of our tips on how to get inauguration tickets, suggestions on how to actually get to DC for the event and our sister site HotelChatter's extensive coverage of inauguration hotels. And while we're at it, we also have "practical travel assistance" when it comes to good eats and free museums in the District.

With all this, maybe he can finally carve out some space for us on his Google Reader. He does roll with RSS feeds, right?

    I totally went to a talk of Arthur Frommer's years ago in the midwest. Nice to hear his focus has shifted from discount cruises. Still love ya, Fromms!
