I had SO much fun as the guest featured blogger on BoardingArea.com last week. If you are new and found me there – WELCOME! And to all my Prior2Boarding regulars I give my usual “Happy Monday” along with our weekly recap… so glad you are here! Last week was a crazy busy week for Jetsetter’s…
It’s Sunday and I’m wondering exactly where my weekend has escaped too, something I do all too frequently. And then I remember that I fell into the rabbit hole of driving for UberX (including my live tweetalong last night which you can still read on Twitter via #virtualride) and keeping the content flowing here (something I do…
I have been known to do some crazy things just to satisfy my own curiosity about what something might be like. I also like to try new things and as a result, it has brought me some interesting adventures along the way. The latest of those ideas has been signing up to be an UberX…
We’ve talked about nutrition quite a bit here this week (when we weren’t talking about manufactured spending… wow, I really had no idea exactly how big that was until the comments started coming in!) And on the topic of nutrition, there’s some free stuff I want to make sure you’d seen! 1. I’m giving away one…
Mediterranean cruisers may be getting a bonus views with their summer cruise – scenic volcanic activity. That same volcano threatens air travel in Europe. Mount Etna is continuing to let off steam and has already caused some air travel delays for nearby air traffic. Volcanic activity poses an uncontrollable threat for air travel. During the 2010 volcanic eruptions…
Fans of the iconic yet campy show that ran from 1977 to 1987 can rejoice – the crew of The Love Boat is reuniting! Alas, it’s not for a new run of the series I faithfully watched with my babysitters (and later AS a babysitter) every Saturday night, but instead as the godparents of the…
My hotel reviews always cover what I actually see of a hotel. Due to my erratic travel schedule, that can often be a limited slice of hotel life as I frequently check in late and check out early. Nonetheless, that sometimes gives a truer portrait of what it is like to stay at a hotel, such as my recent…
Those are deviled eggs. I made them in the Charlottesville Airport one day when I couldn’t find a protein-filled lunch that met my dietary restrictions (no wheat, no corn, no cow milk, no yogurt, no coffee, no nitrates, no fun). Why I am I showing you my deviled eggs? Well, I think they display just…
I love to accessorize. And I hate to pack accessories for a trip because I love to have a great look for every outfit without hauling tons of options with me. I tried being the “simple” gal who just packed a classic necklace and a couple of earrings, but that’s just NOT me. I like…
If you are a points whore caffeine addict lover of fall like I am, you probably look forward to the annual return of Starbuck’s Pumpkin Spice Latte. To me its what football and sweaters and autumn leaves taste like. Its reminds me that I’ve made it through the horrible hot summer months. Fox News is reporting that…
Summer travel season is hitting its final furious weeks. Airplanes are crowded. Airports are crowded. Rental car shuttles are crowded. Even the local Starbucks where I blog each day is crowded. And everyone is clamoring for the same precious every shrinking space. It can make the average day downright frustrating. Today I got to Starbucks…
I love being on the water. And adjacent to that, I often love where a journey by water can take me. Before I fell in love with cruising, I was gaga for anywhere I could most easily access by ferry or fast boat. Here are five of my favorite travel finds that are most easily…
