Travel, Cruise

Aer Lingus is at it again with another sale to Dublin and Shannon, this one in two parts, for early summer travel in June and for peak summer travel from July through third week of August. We’ve seen much better prices earlier in the year, but the cheapest seats have probably long since sold out, […]

David LaHuta is scouting the Miami dining scene for us this week.
We may never answer the question of where to find Miami’s best Cuban sandwich. After all, more than 700,000 Cuban Americans call Miami home.
In a culture that prides itself on succulent home-style cooking, there’s a good chance you’ll find more than one winner. But […]

We talk a decent amount about surfing destinations ’round here, which is terrific if you surf. But what if you don’t? Is it worth going to a beach with breaks if you’re just gonna watch and drink rum out of coconuts?
The Christian Science Monitor says most definitely, and reporter Kendra Nordin took to the waves […]

The newest airline to become the proud owner of some A380s looks to be Qantas, with its first 20 super-jumbos currently being fitted out in Hamburg. They’re getting one now and two more by December, with the others to follow “soon.”
The surprise is that the Flying Kangaroo is planning to use the new plane on […]

Looking to kick off Memorial Day weekend with some beats? Head to Detroit for Movement 08, an annual electronic music festival set in the city’s downtown Hart Plaza.
You’ll have your pick of four stages and awesome acts like Moby, Cobblestone Jazz, Rex Sepulveda and Peanut Butter Wolf from May 24-26. Most shows begin around noon […]

A funny thing happened on my way to help BlogHer pull off its exclusive interview in Oregon with Sen. Barack Obama — my plane from Newark arrived in Salt Lake City too late for me to make the connecting flight. As a result, I got to spend the night in a place that was completely […]

I used to be scared of the dark, and heights and water, and planes and boats, and snakes and spiders, and death and God, and being alone. I can see how all these fears relate to mortality, which is quite typical, but my fear of death concerned other people’s lives, not mine. My fear of […]

Actually, they probably are the highest.
You won’t believe how high some of these fees for things like excess baggage and shipping pets are. Take a look. Sigh.
Checked Baggage (each piece, each way)
Second bag
$25 (except for first, business, full fare passengers and upper level frequent flyer members)
Excess bags

We’ve covered BoltBus, MegaBus, and even the new NeOn, but never before have we been fortunate enough to get a full-on review of what really matters. Thankfully, word of all these cheap buses has spread across the pond, and the UK Times reveals the beauty that is the BoltBus lavatory:

I step inside the cubicle and […]

We decided on whim to check out the Trapeze School of New York. No, it had nothing to do with the fact that Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City once did it. We tried it because our friend is a frequent “flyer” there.
The TSNY offers classes for all levels of flyers and different types […]
