All things travel.
Today our Instagram feed was live from Nassau Bahamas for several hours. We were here as part of our week on Norwegian Sky. Live From Nassau We spent the day with Tru Bahamian Food Tours on their Taste of Nassau tour. If you know how picky we are about shore excursions then you know we were…
I’m becoming cranky in my middle age. That much I know. Perhaps I am far enough away from my halcyon days of travel when weekend mileage runs were quick cultural skinny dips. And week-long vacations were reserved for deeper dives exploring the underbelly of geographic stretches far away. Frequent travel programs were important – earning or using…
A year after the US eased travel restrictions to Cuba, Americans are actually less willing to visit the island. In 2017, only 40% of Americans are interested in taking a trip to Cuba. That’s down 2% from last year. As a result, major airlines are already pulling out of the market or reducing the number of flights to the island. And many…
I am giving away all my secrets lately. First I confessed that I travel with my secret weapons for good hair. Now I’m admitting to three secret travel toiletries that I cannot live without.

Patients need transportation to physician appointments, routine treatments, diagnostic examinations, and other types of healthcare. Lyft and Uber have found a new niche – stepping up to meet…
Apple could effectively kill Uber by simply removing the Uber app from Apple’s App Store. This is exactly what Apple threatened to do after it learned the Uber app had been designed specifically to circumvent Apple’s privacy rules. Uber was able to track iPhone users even after they had deleted the app from the iPhone or iPad devices….
After anther round of viral videos highlight airline violence, we have to ask… does social media exposure lead to more passenger bad behavior?
Less than two weeks after the infamous United Airlines incident, another viral video is making the social media rounds. Tonight American Airlines is in the hot seat. A video has hit social media showing the moments after an American Airlines employee allegedly hits a passenger with a stroller on a flight. The incident took place on Friday afternoon…
I’m normally a fan of signing up for loyalty programs just in case. But today an Alaska Mileage Plan offer came across my mailbox that negates that theory. This offer does not appear to be targeted. It allows one to earn 5,000 Alaska Mileage Plan miles for a new account sign up before April 30, 2017. …
I am kind of obsessed with the concept behind Pack Up + Go, the surprise trip company. Yes… surprise trip. As in show up at the airport and “guess what? we’re going to Denver this weekend!” kind of surprise trip. It just seems fun. And I’ve always wanted to do this. But when you are…
