If you subscribe to my (free) Daily Travel Tip newsletter, then you already know my feelings about what took place in Washington D.C. on Wednesday. But since this is my weekly newsletter and the subscriber list is much larger, I think it’s important I express them here as well.

As I wrote in my tip yesterday, “I had planned to send this newsletter out yesterday but just before I hit send, I saw the events at the U.S. Capitol begin to unfold on TV and on Twitter, which as usual, was way ahead of the network news coverage. I thought, "Does anyone really care about travel at this time because I certainly don’t." So I closed my computer and watched the news in horror.”

Here are the rest of my thoughts and most importantly, a round-up of all the week's top travel news, deals, tips, stories and contests. Check it all out here!
