This really has been the week of Eyjafjallajökull, but since you’re now tired of pronunciation jokes and the rather old news of it all, I won’t list any of the great commentary written about it last week. Ahem.
Luckily there’s still a truckload of excellent posts out there to spotlight this week. And with those, tips galore!

Can there be anything more exciting than the idea of setting off on a Round the World journey – or even a Part of the World journey?

Delhi: Adventures in a Megacity by Sam Miller
For all its problems, 2009 was a great year for readers who love to travel. Dozens of new books hit the shelves over the last 12 months practically tailor-made for the explorer inside of us. Rory MacLean at the Guardian UK has taken it upon himself to assemble a list of books that should be on every nightstand of those who have luggage in their closets or backpacks in the hall – of those who appreciate the art of travel. Take a look at his list and think about these for your inner armchair-traveler.

Over the past few weeks I’ve been hell-bent on compiling lists of webpages and sites to help my readers sort out the dearth of travel info on the “Internets”. I do it because I’m aware of the heart palpitations that random online travel searches can cause. The goal was to reduce their
