Best Travel Channel show for vacation ideas?
If you love the Travel Channel, you might be interested to watch “Dhani Tackles the Globe,” which premieres Monday night at 9 p.m. The show features Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Dhani Jones (above, snowboarding in Switzerland) sampling an array of sports around the world. (Read more about the show here.)
We’re suckers for the Travel Channel, particularly Anthony Bourdain’s “No Reservations.” His wry wit and willingness to try (almost) anything make him fun to watch.
But we probably won’t end up (anytime soon, anyway) in Chengdu Province, China, eating boiled cow’s stomach. No, for the most useful vacation ideas, we stick to the basic list-format shows like “Top Ten Hawaiian Resorts” and so on. That way, if we ever make it to Hawaii, we’ll have some info to start with (and dream about!).

Actually, it’s Sichuan Province, not Chengdu; Chengdu is the provincial capital.

I work with the Travel Channel online team and the Switzerland episode mentioned in the post is actually the upcoming episode on Monday March 23rd. In addition to snowboarding, he also competes in Schwingen (Swiss wrestling). There is a preview on his YouTube page http://www.youtube.com/dhanijones.

Interesting points! I was actually thinking about this topic last night and this morning (particularly how to incorporate it into my own blog). Thanks for the tips, bro!
