Destination news and reviews.
I’m sure this one has made the rounds already, but it’s new to me. HT to my dear friend Guy Betsy for sharing it with me yesterday as it is totally what I needed after a day of flying in coach. Ah, the lure of cheap flights…. The featured performers are from a UK-based cabaret…
DFW Airport public transit finally became a reality this morning as the DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) Orange Line began running to and from DFW’s a Terminal A in the pre-dawn hours. The DFW station is the 62nd in the transit line’s 90 mile network which now covers many major destinations throughout the Dallas half…
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…
Ladies, if you hate your friend – and yourself – get her a stripper. If you love your friend, get her a ManServant. So ends one of the best viral marketing videos I’ve seen. Although lets face it – a video that begins with talk of penis cakes and an uncomfortable video of a gyrating…
Do you remember your first time? Mileage running, that is. I remember my first international mileage run vividly. It might be because of the incredible people I met (many who I am still friends with). It might be because it was one of my first (and last) times to fly on American Airlines in a…

New York City as MOST welcoming? Paris as LEAST welcoming? I’d have flipped those based on my most recent visits to both. The five friendliest cities: 1….
On Tuesday, I shared my tale from the weekend about having Uber charge me 25% above the top of the fare quote range largely due to our driver taking us to the wrong destination first. Yesterday, I took a new extra step when booking – I captured a screenshot of the fare quote at the…
I love getting to visit New York City – and one of my favorite things to do is to catch a hot Broadway performance in the epicenter of the theatre world. Scoring show tickets at a discount is not a challenge either as long as you know the ropes! Sometimes I have the ability (and…
Recently I completed a cruise vacation in the Black Sea region that included a number of ports with limited online travel information. Not wanting to rely on a limited selection of cruise line shore excursions to see a smaller port, I road tested something new popping up in some destinations – free city tours given by…
