Less is more
CNN exposes nudist (or naturist) resorts. (Sorry for the pun.) Best quote, by retiree Adele Butler: “We love the freedom of being nude. And look at our view.” I’d rather not look, Adele.

Less is just less
Americans are using the internet LESS, not more, to plan travel, according to a new study by the Conference Board. Only 28% of men and 25% of women intended to use the internet to research airfares, for example, down from 41% and 35%, respectively, in 2004. I don’t get it. Have travel agencies risen from the ashes somewhere?

Less is less, and it’s all you’re getting
America’s national parks see more traffic, less upkeep. Budgets keep getting cut. Expect entry fees to rise.

Less competition, more fees
The Times of London claims to answer the question of how airlines set prices. (Shorter version: “supply and demand”) They forgot to mention collusion. British Airways, American Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, and United Airlines are under investigation for price-fixing, with attention focused on the remarkably similar fuel surcharges on flights to London.

More mac’n'cheese
Craving macaroni and cheese? That’s all they serve at S’Mac in New York’s East Village. Sign me up for the combo with Brie, roasted figs, roasted shiitake mushrooms & fresh rosemary. Yum! (via Gridskipper)

More musical fruit
Don’t leave home without it. Your credit card? No, your baked beans. Brits really love their beans. Love them enough to take them on trips.

More BYO inflight food, less effort
Conde Nast Traveler provides another installment in the quest for the perfect inflight meal. This month, Melissa Perello of San Francisco’s Fifth Floor offers up Soft Creamy Polenta with Roasted Vegetable ‘Caponata.’ It’s certainly easier than last month’s 30-ingredient bento box.
