Dennis Schaal

Dennis has followed online travel, its twists, turns and detours, since the beginning (not Adam and Eve, but Rich and Terry), and will follow the aforesaid in his blog. A freelance writer, he is Travel Weekly's Technology Editor and Travolution's U.S. View columnist. Things not in his resume: he visited Orbitz headquarters pre-launch in 2000 and, left unattended, eavesdropped and examined the whiteboards to learn partnership details; Travelocity's ex-CEO Michelle Peluso credits him with her success (Wharton notwithstanding) after he wrote a sentence (with accompanying photo) mentioning that some of her Site59 women wore fishnet stockings and then airline execs kept the phone lines busy; he once drove to tiny Sherman, Conn., to see where PhoCusWright lives; and he was a nachtportier in a West Berlin hotel in the days (Btw) when a nasty wall split the city. Fyi, the previous stuff wasn't necessarily in chronological order.
