It’s not just in DFW anymore!! Monday morning I was leaving the plane, checking out the cute outfits of the New York lady business travelers (they are inspiring, seriously) and started heading toward Starbucks. An amazing sight stopped me. There is a Sephora vending machine in DFW, across from gate C12. It’s so exciting to…

My Insane Day of Flying

You know how there are sometimes those days that just don’t go well? Yesterday was that day for me. This weekend I was in New York for the Travel Bloggers Exchange (TBEX–if you follow me on Twitter you probably saw the gazillion tweets with that hashtag). It was a great experience–I learned a lot, met…

Screaming Children and Parents With Headphones

Who would have thought the flights to and from Vegas would give me so much to write about? The drunk people, the wireless mouse, grabbing the seat in front of you….. Here is one more. On the oh so awesome flight home, which included delays and drunk people, there was another element that contributed to…

In a post before my last trip, I listed out my packing list for Vegas. I forgot one super important thing: the sunburn outfit. Luckily, I was careful enough that I didn’t need it this trip. But on vacation I read this post from Fly Gracefully, and it reminded me that I basically had nothing…

This is something that, in my experience anyway, not many travelers think about. How many times have you finally gotten into your seat on the plane, put your stuff where you want it, and settled in with your book and headphones, when suddenly you are jerked backward because the person behind you is using your…

I love Paris, oh why oh why do I love Paris? Because I got a great deal.

Just to clarify, I’m talking about Paris, Las Vegas, not Paris, France. Last week, Home Warrior and I went to Vegas for a long weekend. We were trying to spend less money on our hotel than we have in the past, so instead of staying in one of the MGM-Mirage properties (which are very nice,…

Yes, you’re flying home from Vegas. But please don’t get drunk on the plane.

I think my title says it all, but I’ll give you the story. I’m not going to say that the flight home from Vegas on Tuesday night was the worst flight I’ve ever had. Flight-wise, it was very comfortable. Not too bumpy, only two and a half hours, Home Warrior and I had a row…

Can’t Use a Wireless Mouse While Flying? Weird.

I am back from vacation! And what a vacation it was. Good food, good company, nice pool, the blackjack…..All in all, a highly successful time away. Plus, there was inspiration for things to write about every which way I turned. (I’m looking at you, super drunk guy on the parking bus!) The first time I…
