Travel, Cruise

One of Philly’s best mid-size concert venues, this (not-too) renovated movie theater is smack in the middle of South Street’s always-on nightlife scene, and attracts an appropriately young and rowdy crowd.
Like a growing number of mid-size venues across the country, the 800-capacity Theater of the Living Arts has been recently acquired by Clear Channel spinoff […]

The latest USA3000 "sale" installment again allows a $10 reduction for each flight segment purchased for domestic travel only between now and April 30, 2009.  Though they advertise these domestic routes to include their service to/from Ft. Myers, St. Pete and Ft. Lauderdale, the fact of the matter is that it largely applies to the […]

Sir Richard Branson, a groovy rich guy from England who owns Virgin Atlantic airlines and enjoys doing fun, crazy stuff, sent a letter to U.S. presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama on Sunday warning that the proposed British Airways/American Airlines alliance would stifle competition and hurt consumers.
Not one for understatement, Branson also plans a […]

In “Iron Man,” Tony Stark drives the Audi R8, one of the hottest cars ever made, but what would his super-savvy assistant, Pepper Potts, do if Tony left her with the car keys for a weekend? In order to make the story as realistic as possible, I decided to put myself in Pepper’s shoes and […]

Torn up about traveling to China? You’re not alone. Human rights, oppressive politics, environmental disasters, con. Incredible food (thanks Kalyn!), a culture so rich it’s mind boggling, a nation in a staggering state of change? Pro! Every time I read about travels in China, every time I crack a National Geographic that’s got a China […]

We don’t know who pays for these things, but we’re glad they spontaneously pop up in the most unlikely places, because that’s all the more reason to go traveling. The latest and coolest example of public art comes to us by way of deviantART’s FilthyLuker, whose Octopied Building is waving its tentacles at locals and […]

First of all, here is the brief version I could have written many many posts ago:
I flew from Adelaide to Auckland to San Francisco, where I met SuperTiff and Fog City Mommy. Tiff and I stayed with FCM for two days while we did some sightseeing. We checked into our hotel for BlogHer08, which was […]

We remember what it was like to backpack across Europe on a shoestring budget. A couple hundred bucks had to last through multiple countries, which meant that eating in restaurants was out of the question.
