You know when you read something and think, “It’s like they are inside my brain.” Well, that’s how I feel about this list of plane etiquette rules from CheapOAir. Throughout the whole list, I was nodding and saying, “Yep. That’s right. Oh heck yes!! You tell ’em!!” etc. So, I would like everyone who flies,…
Travel News for the Week
The last few days have given us some pretty crazy news stories, travel-wise. For those of you who don’t religiously follow the travel news blogs and tweets, here are the highlights. RyanAir to start charging for the loo. Seriously, I am not making that up. On flights less than an hour, RyanAir will start charging…
The Very Exciting World of Luggage Locks!!
Last night, after I FINALLY made it to my aunt and uncle’s house for the last thirty minutes of my grandmother’s birthday dinner (see tweets on the sidebar for the details of my day), we got into a travel discussion. Makes sense, really, considering that I travel constantly, had just arrived from the airport after…
How to remember where you parked
My mom and I recently got into a conversation about how we remember where we park our cars at the airport. I don’t actually usually have to remember, because I typically park at an off-site parking facility which handily writes down my space and hands me the paper. Then when I am ready to go…
Great Spring Travel Purses
In case you haven’t noticed, I am super excited that spring is here. Shedding the dark colors and heavy fabrics of winter in favor of dresses and tops in breezy brights and pastels is a warm-weather treat. And of course, that extends to purses! Time to put away my dark brown bag and get out…
We hate them but at least they are not super dangerous
While visiting my Memaw last week in South Texas, I got a chance to peruse her UC Berkeley Wellness Letter. On the front page they have a list of Wellness Facts, including a very informative little paragraph about the full body scanners, aka nudie-scopes, that are popping up all over the country. According the American…
What to Wear to the Airport: A Dress!!
The beautiful weather we are having in Texas makes me want to wear dresses every day. Of course, when traveling there are additional considerations when choosing a dress. TravelSmith has some great dresses right now, both solid and print. Their Voyager Knit line is lightweight, packs well, sheds wrinkles, and has some very cute pieces. …
A Few Interesting Travel Articles This Week
As I was perusing the interwebs this week I found a few interesting, but disparate, articles about traveling. I couldn’t make them into something cohesive, so I’m just going to list them. Good stuff! “Hotels are adding new fees for services” in the LA Times. I’m sure none of us are surprised to hear this,…
Making Travel Better: Noise Canceling Headphones
One of the top things that can help your travel experience–noise canceling headphones. They can block out the poor screaming kid behind you, make your music or movie sound better, and make it feel (just a little bit) like you’re all alone and not on a plane with 150 other people. Earlier this year when…
