SHOT UP
UNLESS you hate America or something, you'll be celebrating National Bourbon Heritage Month this September. Kentucky - responsible for 95% of the world's corn whiskey - is to this event what Munich is to Octoberfest. Hit KY's Bourbon Trail,
running between Bardstown and Lexington, and you'll see what we're talking about
(kybourbontrail.com).
CENTURY MARK
HAPPY early birthday to Cooperstown's Otesaga Resort, which turns 100 next year. In celebration, they're offering a 2-night VIP centennial package all season long in '09, including food, baseball paraphenalia and Dom Perignon. From $1,909/couple (otesaga.com).
MÉNAGE À TROIS
LAST week, British
Airways, American Airlines and Iberia agreed to a revenue-sharing deal that, if OK'd by US and European regulators, will allow the airlines to set prices and share seat capacity. Virgin president Richard Branson is accusing the trio of trying to create a "monster monopoly."
WHO'S IN, AND WHO'S OUT
THE top of Orbitz's most popular Labor Day destinations list looks a lot like it did last year - #1 Las Vegas,
#2 New York. Then it gets interesting: Orlando's out, while Anaheim, Honolulu and Cancun have managed to sneak in. BTW, we totally want to party with the folks who can still afford to fly to Hawaii (orbitz.com).
