I’ve invited my nutritional guru Heather back to guest blog again this week. She’s going to be writing a series on something important to all travelers… sleep! Check back in the evenings this week for more from her on this critical topic! Do you struggle falling asleep at night? Do you wake up tired every morning? Do…
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…
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…
Greetings from the Hyatt Regency DFW where I’m waiting out the impending ice storm. I’m due to fly to Buffalo tomorrow (insert “out of frying pan, into fire” style comment here) and know better than to try to drive in Texas when this stuff hits. So I’m camped out watching the Oscars and hoping that…
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…
