Travel, Cruise

Our Eat ‘n Sleep feature profiles a restaurant in a random city and a hotel nearby. It’s kinda like that old show “Dinner and a Movie” but you know, with restaurants and hotels. And better jokes.

The Karibea Hotels Camelia Residence is a resort near the touristy–for good reason–Trios-Ilets village of Martinique. The hotel’s best […]

Last week, we had some sympathy for Kyla Ebbert, the Southwest Airlines passenger with the skimpy mini skirt. After all, the airline doesn’t have a dress code, and she said her outfit covered all the necessary bits and pieces.
But was she dressed conservatively enough? During her appearance on the Today show, Matt Lauer asked Kyla […]

You know, we’ve never even considered packing snakes in our luggage, but it’s one of the hottest trends in travel right now. The most recent trendsetter was a passenger arriving at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport who checked the snakes on his Korean Air flight. Customs officers found the reptiles when he touched down.
The icky part […]

With all this talk of great fares to Britain, let’s not forget that the competition is still going strong to Germany too.
If those United-Lufthansa code-share fares to Frankfurt we’ve mentioned before are getting too expensive or proving too tricky to find (and they can be a bit elusive), head straight for Singapore Airlines and book […]

The State Department said Friday it has worked through the giant backlog in passport applications and that processing times are back to normal, this after months of delays and endless complaining from passport procrastinators across the country.
The department hired hundreds of new workers and the waiting period for a standard application back to […]

If you’re under 30, and either a US or an Australian citizen, you might be buzzed to know that these two countries have just agreed on a working holiday visa program. That means, for example, that young Americans can head Down Under for up to twelve months and have the right to live, work and […]

Jaunted tipster Mary Kay spotted this R2D2 mailbox not far from home in Buffalo, New York. Right across the street from the University at Buffalo, these days […]

Starting December 13, American Airlines will expand its service down to Latin America, just in time for you to skip out on the first blizzard of the year. The huge holiday launch includes several new non-stop routes from major North American cities to hot spots above and below the equator.
Chicago travelers trying […]

I hopped into my car and snatched the seatbelt. For some reason, the belt hung up and wouldn’t release. I was in a hurry as usual, and for a moment, I was tempted to just drive off to my errand since the destination was only about a mile from home. Caution prevailed. I got out […]

Not again.
From World Hum (and a bunch of other sources) comes this ridiculous story of a young woman kicked off a plane for being, well, too freakin’ hot. I guess.

Southwest Airlines apparently didn’t care for the skirt and top that 23-year-old college student and Hooters waitress Kyla Ebbert wore aboard a flight two months […]
