Oscars for the Travel Industry
But for these, you get a vote. Nominees have been announced for the 16th Annual World Travel Awards, selected by travel agents worldwide. Just a few of the categories for each continent include leading airline, leading boutique hotel, leading green hotel and leading resort. Ideally, we could visit these personally for a truly informed vote, like the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea pictured here, but it's still fun to look through the list and find a few favorites.

pick of the week
We really got a kick of this bright pink Yubz Talk Mobile headset and imagined ourselves confusing fellow beach-goers as we yakked on our iPhones hidden in a sand-free zone in our beach bags. Yubz, which stands for Why You Busy? designs unique but functional items for busy people. Just plug it in and you're ready to go. You can pick out the right adaptor for any type of phone when you order at www.yubz.com. The Talk Mobile is available in eight other colors, if pink isn't your style, and sells for $39.95.
