Looking for something different to try on your next out of town jaunt? Perhaps you should seek out one of these Buzzfeed recommended establishments. While I don’t always put much credence into internet lists, I’ve visited several of these unique bars and each offers up a unique place to enjoy a cocktail (or three)! My…
I’m grateful that some of my readers this week are brand-new to Jetsetter’s Homestead. Some of you discovered this page because of the ongoing Lyft $1,000 referral saga. Others have visited because I’m a featured blogger on BoardingArea (Prior2Boarding‘s sister site) this week. However you got here – welcome! I’d like to give you a…
I’ve questioned before whether Lyft might be struggling with funding. But now their biggest driver recruitment promotion ever is set to disappoint hundreds (if not thousands) of potential drivers as well as current drivers referring them. Yesterday I questioned whether Lyft would be able to fulfill the bonus offer made to drivers. Today, indications from…
There are two types of hotel guests. Those who unpack and those who don’t. I’m in the latter category, preferring to live out of my suitcase so that all my belongings either stay in it OR get co-located to a specific place in the room. This is so I don’t lose things or have to…
The popular LED Bay Bridge lights in San Francisco will be coming down on Friday, according to The Bold Italic. Originally intended to be a temporary installation to honor the redesign of the bridge, the lighted bridge has become a new background for iconic photos of San Francisco. As such, a not-for-profit group has raised money…
The Lyft $1000 new driver promotion last week (as first reported here on Prior2Boarding/Boarding Area by The Reward Boss) garnered viral interest around not only ridesharing communities but also among the general public. But now many new drivers are trapped in the approval process and worried they will not meet the published requirements due to Lyft’s…
Lately I’ve developed a regular craving for chicken wings. I don’t think it has anything to do with the project I’ve been working in Buffalo, but perhaps it does. Unlike traditional Buffalo wings, however, I sometimes like a little bit of sweet with my heat. After some experimentation, I’ve concocted this easy recipe for sriracha…
Sex and the City may have finished its HBO run over a decade ago – and hopefully its movie reincarnation after a train wreck of a romp through the United Arab Emirates a few years later (they got the designer obsessions correct at least, even if they did stomp on the culture in the process!) And yet…
February 28 came and went. That’s the milestone date for many where status drops or goes away completely based on the prior year’s activities. The two month cushion allows for any last minute adjustments to end of year travel recordkeeping as well as a grace period for airlines, hotels, and car rental programs to reconcile…
Let me get this right out there – I live in Texas for a reason. Easy access to anywhere in the US, proximity to family, my beautiful hometown of Fort Worth, and occasionally great weather. But a few times a year I begin to question my decision when the weather gets yucky. I am usually above going…
File this under the list of funniest things I’ve seen on the internet recently. This video was created by one of the members of a Facebook group dedicated solely to the pleasures of flying in premium class cabins. One of the common complaints from a select group of members is about bread accompanying inflight meals…
This week has all the potential to be “one of those” travel weeks… and for many of you, it has been already. Cancelled flights, weather delays, long lines – none of the things you want to deal with in February (or any longer month). I felt my patience already wearing thin before it even grew dark on…
