the main "header" looks good though most of your main links don't go to any content. it seems this site is all about articles... why not have those main links go to "Best Travel Articles" or "Top 10 Articles" or "Most Recent Articles". just an idea... also, on your article pages, i think you should make the title of the article bigger and a different color than black. that way it will be easy to distinguish between the title and the text as well as it would make it easier to skim all the title names.
Header is looking good, and i really liked the YPN integration. Text on the main buttons in header navigation is somewhat blurred, try some different font.
Ya, I thought so too, I'll see what our designer can come up with. Thanks! Good idea, I like #1. I'll see what I can do about #2. Thanks!
