Feet on bulkhead walls, diapers being changed on tray tables, people taking off too much clothing in flight – these are just a few of the interesting things I’ve run into on recent flights. Many of those behaviors often become the subject of “passenger shaming” – a practice where individuals take photos of the individual passengers…
You might notice I just tried to sneak two weeks into my weekly recap. I was hoping you might NOT but it’s glaringly there. I did take a few days off around Labor Day so my feed was lighter than normal so no weekly recap last week – just not enough to report so I…
I love traveling solo. There is something blissful about experiencing a new place and being guided only by my own impressions of it. Yet I often wonder existentially whether if I have no photographic evidence of my time there, did I really visit? I should take more photos with me in them – but sometimes…
Temperatures have cooled off a bit here in Dallas/Fort Worth. By cooled off, I mean dipping into the 50s and 60s – that’s solid autumn weather for us, especially considering that we had triple digits within the last week! Cooler fall temperatures always make me crave my “Winner Chili”. Winner Chili so named because I…
I sometimes experience a strange sense of deja vu when checking into a chain hotel. “Have I been here before?”, I wonder. The Hyatt Place West Palm Beach is NOT one of those properties where this happens. It won’t happen for anyone because it’s distinctive enough as a downtown-styled Hyatt Place property that it stands out…
I blogged for four years (2005-2009) on a different platform. That blog is gone now, but I still have all my posts and I recently decided to reread some of my writing from that period of my life. I’m going to be sharing some of the classics, particularly trip reports. This report is from one of my many Bali…
Its not even 6 o’clock in the morning. Who the hell is calling me? That’s the first thought I have when my cell phone won’t stop ringing. Its early autumn and I’m at one of several in a string of trade shows on my 3rd quarter schedule. I’m 29 years old and I live out of…
Occasionally I stumble across ways of earning miles that are so easy that I wonder how I could have ever missed them. Thanks Again is one of those programs. The website allows users to register credit cards and then receive miles any time a registered card is used at a participating merchant. I found out…
An unidentified male passenger was transported from London’s Heathrow Airport by air ambulance after falling from an outdoor balcony. The incident at British Airways’ Galleries Nouth Lounge in Terminal 5 occurred mid-afternoon. An eyewitness reports hearing the words “No” and looking up to see the legs of the passenger who had appeared to have fallen head…

The DFW Metroplex is geographically a very large area. That fact is something I regularly have to remind out of town friends when they visit. When I moved to Fort Worth seven years ago, many of them thought it was simply a matter of moving to a new neighborhood. It wasn’t. While my home airport…
In this video captured by Fort Worth Star-Telegram reporter Andrea Ahles, Southwest reveals its new paint scheme to the hometown crowd at a maintenance hangar event today in Dallas. While the livery design began to make sneak appearances online the past few days – and to many brings to mind Burger King and Hot Dog…
