The CEO of UNIVERSAL EXPRESS, a cargo shipper based in New York City and Miami, Altomare uses Virtual Bellhop, a service his company offers, to have his bags picked up and delivered to his hotel before he arrives. Universal Express, Skycap International and other luggage-shipping services have seen a post-Sept. 11 boost in business from harried travelers looking to save time at security checks.

...take a deep breath. After a brief but painful downturn marked by widespread layoffs, a morale-crushing bear market in stocks and the virtual shutdown of the travel industry post-Sept. 11, the rich smell of recovery is in the air. Even basset-faced Alan Greenspan has picked up the scent.
