FACEBOOK EN ROUTE
Enamored of Facebook? You won't have to worry about whether absence really makes the heart grow fonder if you're flying on Valentine's Day - or any day in February. That's because Gogo Inflight Internet has partnered with Alaska Airlines, American, AirTran, Delta, United, US Airways and Virgin America airlines to offer free in-flight Facebook access all month.
Don't get any ideas about wandering over to other websites during the promotion period. Visiting other sites will cost you the standard Gogo fee, which starts at $4.95.
PET-FRIENDLY EXTREMES
The pet- friendly historic Hermosa Inn near Scottsdale, Ariz. - one of Condé Nast Traveler's top small resorts in the world - has a new package for guests who want to travel with their dogs. Starting at $599 a night, the package includes a one-night stay in a casita, a welcome treat for Fido, plus fruit and bottled water for you. In addition, your dog will get a 60-minute in-room canine massage from one of the only licensed canine massage therapists in Arizona, while you get a 60-minute in-room spa treatment.
Other perks include a dog walk and dog movie (think "Lassie" or "101 Dalmatians") - breakfast in bed for both of you and your dog, plus other canine amenities, including a dog bed and bowl.
Tax and tips are extra, as are items such as dog pedicures, dog yoga, extra canine massages, a pet taxi service, and half- or full-day spa day care.
