Travel

I have a new addiction in my life. It's not a drug, a drink, or even a substance at all. It's actually an addiction to the Travel Chanel. Have you ever sat down and actually watched the programing on this channel? They have some of the most amazing cinematography of any cable television channel I have ever seen. This is better stuff than Discovery, or NatGeo. They have all kinds of cool shows about beaches, food, sports, survival, etc.
They also have a great new ad theme called "The Bug." The slogan is that when you catch the travel bug you just have to get out and see the world. They have four main programs that support this new slogan each one with its own distinctive host. They are "No Reservations," with Anthony Burdain, "Sexiest Beaches," with that chick from "The Girls Next Door," "Dahani Tackels the Glove," with Dahani Jones, a professional football player, and "Man vs. Food," with some big guy.
Each one of these shows takes on the world in a very distinctive way. While Burdain explores a nation through the regional food, that one chick goes out to the party destinations and the nightlife, Dahani competes in their sport, and the fat guy eats all their strangest dishes. It's like the total experience of the place.
If you don't regularly watch the Travel Chanel you have to try. Just be warned that it is addictive and it will hold your attention for the rest of the day and days there after.
