Travel, Cruise

It is the sound of settling …
Never settle for anything in life less than extraordinary. This has been my philosophy for as long as I have known. And, yes, I did rip it off of a cheesy movie.
I do not always follow my own philosophy and have been known to let a few chances at […]

Hate raking? Sheesh, we sure do! Let’s skip town and put it off even longer, with the new Alaska Airlines Rake in the Savings sale, good for fall travel up until November 15. All purchases must be made by September 24, so get a move on already, before anyone asks you to do that yard […]

At this rate, we’ll never head back to Europe: a Euro now costs $1.40, a record high for a currency that you could buy for 90 cents seven years ago. So why does the dollar suck so bad right now? There are a few reasons, none of which we completely understand. (We made it through […]

Let’s face it. As an industry, airlines have never made money since the Wright Brothers. Because of this mismanagement, they’ve decided to try lining their coffers by coming up with a slew of obnoxious extra charges. We’re not so steamed about paying to see TV, or using the Internet aloft, or even paying for something […]

Did you miss Part 1?
As we trekked further into the woods, which wasn’t very far considering we were all wearing flip-flops and moving at a snail’s pace, there was talk that maybe we should go back. However, the prevailing majority concluded that by virtue of its beauty, Hawaii can’t be that dangerous. It won’t surprise […]

A wedding dress and a bouquet may boost a coach couple to the lap of luxury (the same way a short skirt can get a girl nearly kicked off a plane), but the folks at Flyertalk wondered, what about the solo flyer? Can a fancy suit, a nice tie and some slicked-back hair send […]
