What’s better than a first class SHOWER or BAR? Plus a rental car giveaway and more

Here is some of the best travel news and notes from around the Internet:

• What’s better than a first-class shower or onboard bar?  Try this sky bubble created by a company called Windspeed.  So far there have not been any orders for this, but is it that far behind?

• Travel is Free is one of my favorite blogs – because Drew and Carrie travel how I think I would travel (if I had no kids and traveled full-time).  Here’s the story of how they became full-time travelers.
• Thanks to a new rental car company called Skurt, we’re giving away a free 2 day car rental (you do have to pick up the car in the Los Angeles area).  Enter for free!
• Although I personally don’t chase airline elite status, I do enjoy reading about others and their mileage running to keep status.  Here’s the Frequent Miler talking about how his final mileage run of the year made him actually RUN!
• One of the more stressful travel-related scenarios for families is when an airline seats you far away from your small child (SEE ALSO: Well, how would YOU arrange 6 s on a plane? )  I’ve written before with some tips on how to sit with your family on Southwest Airlines, but on other airlines it’s not always that easy.  So I enjoyed reading Trips With Tykes with an article talking about her recent seat separation saga and 6 ways to keep that from happening to you.
