Senior Sitters Get Free Nights With Pups & Pussycats


TrustedHousesitters.com is a website that books travelers who volunteer to combine visits to homes throughout the world with caring for the family pets. If you can create travel plans to include destinations that require your services, you may earn free nights in some unique homes.

You may be spending the night with Rover in a Honolulu beach house. Or lolling with Tabby within a New York high-rise condo. Or strolling with Shep along the grassy fields of a regal English estate.

To apply, volunteers must offer proof they’re experienced in feeding and caring for the pets.  It costs $119 annually to be a member of the pet-sitting volunteer clan.

New Cruise Ship Powered By Dead Fish & Other Organic Waste PDF Print E-mail


Jonah rode a whale and there’s the naughty British naval expression of riding the dolphin. Now Norwegian cruise line Hurtigruten reports it will soon sail the first passenger ship powered by LBG. It’s a liquid fuel made up of organic sources from the sea and other waste products.

We can only hope that when the cruise gets underway, and passengers line the rails to wave farewell to those on shore, they won’t have to hold their noses. Seriously, unlike fuel oil and coal, the LBG ships will sail via emissions-free economy.
