One of the things that bothers me most about air travel (besides the 3 oz./plastic bag checks at security) is the lack of sockets to recharge your computer and phone. Nearly every airport has purposely removed all working electrical sockets and I just dont understand it. Is it because someone might put something into the…
I know that is a weird title, but I was in the Seattle airport on the way home for Thanksgiving and I decided to get a 15 minute neck and shoulder massage. I sat down and the massage began and then a woman sat in the chair across from me. I didn’t give it two…
I know the subject line is probably old news to most people, but I have used Orbitz for the past few years and only in the last few months did I switch to Kayak. The reason I switched was because of annoyance with having to work through Orbitz as a middle man when I wanted to cancel…
I guess I am on the Air Asia email marketing list, because I just got an email from them telling me that I could get a roundtrip ticket from Bangkok, Thailand to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for $10 round-trip including taxes. That is unbelievable. http://www.airasia.com/site/en/promotion.jsp?id=94a3dc8a-ac1e00ae-645fd000-867a7f20 Europe offers the same types of fares through Easyjet and Ryanair….

I had a conversation with a friend from work today about Seattle drivers and how courteous they are. In general, everyone drives at a normal pace (especially in comparison to East Coasters like myself), they give plenty of room for the car in front of them, and they usually let you change lanes in front…
So it has been a long time since I wrote anything on this blog. That was primarily due to the fact that most of the places I was travelling in Africa didnt have Internet or it was very slow. Now that I am back in Seattle and working on Windows Live Spaces, I am going…
As anyone that has talked to me about travel knows, London ranks in my top ten favorite cities in the world for good reasons. However, for some reason this trip, I kept noticing things about London (and England in general) that I dont understand. Since I am holed up at the Hilton on a layover,…
When I arrived at London airport for my flight to Nairobi today, they told me that the flight was oversold. I was angry at the time and I made the importance of getting on that flight know to them since there are not that many Kenya Airways flights that connect to Kigali, Rwanda from Nairobi….
We just rented a 20 person lake house on Green Bay in Wisconsin. The place is below: http://www.greatrentals.com/WI/22397.html From what the owner says, it is an old brothel which is located right on Green Bay, has 6 bedrooms, a private beach, access to waterskiing, is 8 miles away from golf, and 17 miles away…
