Upon waking up this morning, I planned on getting started early with my cup of tea and a strong side of productivity. I even had high hopes of making it to the gym today – surprise, surprise, that hasn’t happened yet either (thanks, rain and gloom!). As I look out the window into the foggy … [Read More…]
12 Hours in Singapore – 5 Ways to Maximize Your Layover
In my opinion, Singapore is one of those places where you can truly take in as much of the city in a short amount of time. My first visit to Singapore was in April of 2012, and I spent a total of 3 days there – frankly, that was too long (maybe it seemed super … [Read More…]
What Happens When 73% of the Flight Doesn’t Turn Off Their Cellphones?
I came across an interesting news article this evening that proved that sometimes “strength in numbers” doesn’t always get you places… literally.

A Round Up of Points, Miles, and Deals
I hope everyone had a great weekend. My favorite part of the weekend was booking the $361 Seychelles to Abu Dhabi to Dublin mistake fare that happened yesterday (Sunday seems to be the pattern in mistake fares, it seems).

Sure, my iPhone has an unlimited 3G dataplan, and I’m grateful to be able to reply to emails and such while sitting on a public bus, … [Read More…]
Dad Post: Free Birthright Trips to Israel, Greece, and Armenia
Hi all – I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day holiday weekend. As some of you might already know, three years ago I became a “Big Brother” in the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization. With both of my kids being “grown up” at that time, I still wanted to be able to be a … [Read More…]
Discussion: Touchy Subject – “Passengers of Size”
A few days ago, I tweeted the photo below (found on epicwtfs.com, which by the way, is a hilarious site) and posed the following question: “What would you honestly do if you were seated next to this passenger? :-/” I’m most certainly not trying to poke fun or come off as offensive, but this question … [Read More…]
Discussion: How Many “Sin Cities” Around the Globe Have You Visited?
Speaking of sins, forgive me for not posting for some time. Over the past 2 weeks, ironically, I spent a few days at an airport… but this time I wasn’t flying; instead, I was having fun throwing iron around and getting my adrenaline pumped by doing things like this during my stunt driving training. It definitely … [Read More…]
