Okay, this is hilarious. Going back to my friends’ story a few weeks ago about fellow passengers joining the mile high club….. I was sent this fabulous article from reader Sylvia. Apparently another couple tried for the same thing, but it got turned into a much bigger deal….. From Jezebel: The tenth anniversary of 9/11…
Wow!
No seatbelt in case of crash? Seriously?
The Home Warrior and I were driving to San Antonio to see his parents a few weeks ago, and were listening to one of my favorite NPR shows, Car Talk. One of the callers, who lived in New York, said that her significant other (boyfriend? husband? I don’t remember) refused to wear his seat belt…
Love is in the air….
This past weekend some good friends came into town. As we were hugging hello, my friend said, “Have I got a story for you!!” And boy, was she right. For the sake of the story, we will call these friends John and Jane. John and Jane were flying in from California, with a layover in…
Weird travel pic of the week
I stayed at a Hilton outside of Boston a couple of weeks ago. It was perfectly fine, although my “balcony” overlooked the indoor pool, and I didn’t have any natural light in my room. That was weird. But they must have gone through some recent remodeling. As I was walking through the underground parking garage,…

An Interesting Story from a Fellow Business Traveler
During my trip from Hell to Ohio last month, I met a nice guy. He was a fellow business traveler, on his way home from Germany. He told me a story that was interesting, but scary, and I thought I would share. After a grueling 9 day work trip in Berlin, he finally got on…
The Latest Threat to Airport Security? Almond Butter.
Recently, some close friends visited California. One of the stops they made was the Blue Diamond Almond Company in Sacramento, where they picked up some almond butter. My friend H was very excited about this souvenir, and couldn’t wait to take it back to Texas and enjoy it. Being followers of this blog, and frequent…
Why I Hate Ohio Part I
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the frustrating trip I had to Ohio. I called it Part II because it was the second frustrating trip I have had to Ohio. Here is the story of the first. (And again, I don’t really hate Ohio. Really.) When I first arrived in Columbus, it seemed…
Passengers Mistakenly Told “We’re About to Crash.” Seriously.
The Home Warrior was flipping through the news this weekend, when he said: “Come here, you have got to see this.” The article from NBC News read: “LONDON — British Airways apologized on Friday after a crew member mistakenly played an emergency message warning Hong Kong-bound passengers that the plane they were on was about…
