Domains For Sale

    I have four great domain names for sale. Each of these domains was registered for a potential project. In the past 15 years, I have launched a dozen web sites, built traffic, and then sold most of these web sites at a nice profit. I know the value of a good domain name and I have a fair idea of what works and what doesn't. But now, I plan to retire by the end of the year. No more projects.

    For each of the four domains, I have slapped together a web site and posted some articles to give an idea of what could be done, and also to get the name seeded in the search engines. These news articles are real, but are mostly press releases that I have rewritten and cleaned up.

    Here are the domains for sale:

    FancyFree.com. This domain name was intended for a site that focused on the single traveler, as in foot loose and fancy free, ready for romance and travel.

    PassengerNews.com. There are many travel sites, but few focus on the particular needs of the passenger. Revenue to come from online bookings and referrals.

    poWWWer.com. Just seven letters, pronounceable and it shouts about the power of the World Wide Web.

    Yurp.com. This is a goofy domain name, but with a serious thought behind it, inspired by the way George W. Bush and others pronounce Europe. But, there are many other meanings of "yurp" in current urban slang.

Caribbean Cruise Industry Economic Impact

Hats These are some surprising figures: The typical cruise ship carrying 2,000 passengers and 800 crew members conservatively generated $190,476 in passenger and crew expenditures during a single port-of-call visit. The typical port-of-call passenger spends an average of $98.01 at each port visit, while average spending per port of call by crew members is $74.56.

The U.S Virgin Islands was the destination in the Caribbean with the highest economic contribution during the 2005-2006 cruise year, due to it having the highest per passenger spending rate in the Caribbean, according to a survey conducted by the U.S.-based organization Business Research and Economic Advisors (BREA).

The survey was conducted in partnership with 19 destinations: Antigua, Aruba, The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Cayman Islands, Cartagona, Costa Maya, Cozumel, Cura-cao, Dominica, Grenades, Key West, Martin-ique, San Juan, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, St. Maarten and U.S.V.I.

70-year-old Cruise Passenger Kills Mugger

San Jose, Costa Rica -- A tour bus of U.S. senior citizens defended themselves against a group of suspected muggers, sending two of them fleeing and killing a third in the Atlantic coast city of Limon, police said Thursday.

One of the tourists -- a retired member of the U.S. military about 70 years old -- put Warner Segura in a head lock and broke his clavicle after the 20-year-old and two other men armed with a knife and gun held up the tour bus Wednesday, said Luis Hernandez, the police chief of Limon, 80 miles east of San Jose.
