Travel, Cruise

When we made our geeky trip down to Philadelphia last month, we didn’t have any trouble finding a couple spots to eat. But that’s because we kept our focus on places with private karaoke rooms: It’s not like we had tons to pick from.
But Joey Sweeney has way more than just niche spots on his […]

“Grab lantern there,” the Hungarian caretaker told me, “and follow tunnel into labyrinth.”
Alone with my flickering flame, I followed his stilted instructions, step by step, into a darkness so thick that I couldn’t see past my extended hand.
“What the hell?” I said to no one. I was completely alone […]

Artist Charles Cohan is not a fan of airports. To him, they all basically look the same, and after checking out his installation, “Airfield,” at Curator’s Office in Washington, DC, you’ll probably agree. His prints of terminals and runways will have you flashing back to that extended layover in Paris, that long taxi in Baltimore […]

Virgin America has some mood-lit bus shelters around San Francisco to hype the airline’s classy on-board lighting. But the sexy posters plastered inside are apparently too cool to just admire while waiting on the corner.
eBay user biggpudge23 managed to snag one of the 4′ by 6′ posters and has it up on the auction site. […]

Paris Hilton and Benji Madden strolled through LHR Tuesday en route to the Good Charlotte tour in South Africa. With all this traveling we are sure the couple didn’t have much time to stop and ogle London’s new terminal, but if they did we have a bit of advice for them.

Remember when you were, like, six and your grandpa took you to that airshow? Kinda boring, right? Well the Red Bull Air Race World Series should change your mind about the whole going-to-see-planes thing.
The Air Race is what it sounds like: 12 pilots gun it around a course, skimming just 50 feet above land and […]

“Dear God, I didn’t think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset you made on Tuesday. That was COOL.”
–Eugene, from “Children’s Letters to God”

A friend, Amy, recently told me about a new tradition in their family: Whenever they go on a trip or an outing, each kid (she has three – ages 5, […]

If you’re looking to get some serious Bangkok for your buck, we’ve found a handful of great bargains for you. At up to almost half off prevailing rates from some cities, it’s like getting a two-fer for you and your Siamese twin (or cousin or spouse or significant other).
This great floating city has it all, […]

Speaking of buses…
We’ve already learned we can save the environment by taking a bus from Britain to China while not saving much money. But in other regions taking a bus is having a bit of a resurgence now that companies are competing with budget airlines on cost.
Down in Australia, a vast half-empty land where flying […]

Earlier this month, on our field trip to Puerto Rico, we ran into the Flip Video camera for the first time. A fellow traveller raved about their tiny, utilitarian video machine. It is the size of a small digital camera, but you hold it vertically when shooting.
We were confused. How was this little […]
