The property is now partnering with the Cathedral District Association to offer the new Cathedral District Walking Tour.

Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport Walking Program
The Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport has teamed with the American Heart Association to bring its nationwide Start! Walking program to the airport. Does that mean lugging your heavy bags around even more?! Pretty much. The route includes a 1.4-mile hike around MSP’s Lindbergh Terminal. The route is marked on overhead way-finding signs with circular green mileage markers for travelers to keep track of their progress. That’s cool. Walkers travel a square circuit that begins near Gate C1, they then proceed down the C concourse, cross the Concourse Skyway Connector, travel down Concourse G, and …

Zenga Sport Gym Kit
Ermenegildo Zegna, yes the same people who brought you the solar powered jacket, have a great new work-out product for men with the Zenga Sport Gym Kit.
The Zenga Gym Kit consists of the small pouch pictured. The pouch converts in to a lined, zip-up, waterproof jacket. I like transformer-ish clothing and bags. Inside the pouch, you’ll find lined, waterproof track pants, microfiber workout shorts and a stretch cotton tee. And it even matches for all you metro boys out there.
Is is funny to me that it’s …

Zinopin Long Haul - For Deep Vein Thrombosis, Jet Lag and Swelling
Vascular Health, which seems to be located right here in beautiful New Jersey, recently sent me an email about a new product called Zinopin Long Haul. I’m not much of a medicine-taker myself (seriously, I’ve never even taken AirBorne), but I thought I would pass along the information for the drug seekers of the business world. Zinopin Long Haul is formulated to help prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis, jet lag and ankle swelling. I personally prefer the natural methods, which I wrote about several months ago, but some of …

Healthy Dining in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport
Airport dining is difficult. As a REALLY frequent traveler, I find it almost impossible to find healthy options in the airports around the country. You can only eat so many salads, but your options are limited beyond that. The Minneapolis/St. Paul airport is focusing on offering travelers more healthy dining options, which is GREAT! Especially for all of those airport patrons who are consistantly stranded by shady Northwest Airlines.
What can you get and where do you get it?

Walking in Copenhagen, Denmark
Copenhagen, Denmark is the beautiful capitol city of the Scandinavian country. It was the home of Hans Christian Andersen, is the current home of the Danish royalty and quite a place to visit. I had the opportunity to check out the city last week, and was quite happy with what I saw. The area around my hotel, the Marriott, was relatively modern and not 
worth looking at. Once you travel to the heart of the city, you get a different …
