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…
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…
Many went to bed disappointed last night after realizing that the Danish currency mistake fares they booked through United would, in fact, not be honored despite a mass passenger appeal to the Department of Transportation. But there may be a new travel kickback in your future. If you have purchased and flown on a ticket between…
I shared earlier this year that watching The Bachelor is my guilty pleasure when I’m stuck in hotel rooms. I still think that it’s an unrealistic show that mirrors the troubles of vacation romances (with the added intensity of a compressed timeframe, extra alcohol, and lots of bystander crew members. But this season has been particularly…
Good morning from icy DFW International Airport. Its only 8:30 am but there are already close to 1,000 cancelled flights today. But I’m one of the lucky ones, I think – my flight is scheduled to go out! I’ve been here since last night – staying at the Hyatt Regency DFW, a property I have…
Do you ever get in a rut? A travel pattern that becomes habit either through intentional repetition or accidental momentum? Do you catch yourself saying “I always stay at this hotel” or “we cruise to the Caribbean every April” or “this is what I do every time I arrive at the airport”? It could be a…
