Would you pay $6 for this: I did. It’s not particularly good. That being said, I have ordered it more than once. I think it’s the finest thing on Sun Country’s in-flight menu, although I’ve heard some high praise for their cheeseburgers. If you pick up a $6 beer to go with it (you’ll need [...]
I was driving from Washington, DC to NYC yesterday, which brought me through Baltimore; a town I know mostly as the city where awesome show The Wire was based. A little Googling revealed quite a few sites around town worth checking out. I snapped the above photo along Bond Street: 6. Drug Corners And Bulletproof [...]
I checked in to the Hampton Inn in Champaign, IL just before midnight, so this may have been the room they were dreading renting for the night. But, rather than turning on their a No Vacancy sign, they rented me this monstrosity. A sign at the front desk boasted that they will give you a [...]
I noticed today that every seat on my Sun Country flight is a “premium” seat worthy of an $8 charge if I check-in online and pick a seat at that time. (Yes, even middle seats where the seats on both sites are occupied.) However, if I go to the airport and check-in in person, there [...]
Admittedly, my expectations were not high when I pulled into the Super 8 just south of Kenosha, WI within earshot of the interstate, but I figured they at least knew how to prepare a room. Wrong. On top of that, they had the worst continental breakfast coffee I think I’ve ever had. But all was [...]
Radisson Scranton TP I’m in Scranton, PA tonight. No signs of Dwight or Michael yet, but I did see a Dunder Mifflin venue on Foursquare. The TP shot above is from the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel Scranton. They converted an old train station into a hotel. It’s an awesome building and worth checking out if [...]
Above is my current murse. It’s totally awesome for travel, because I can carry a camera, passport, iPod, book, IMAX Power, gum, my space pen, extra camera batteries, an extra SD card, and a granola bar with room to spare, plus comfort and easy accessibility. That’s pretty much everything I need to make it through [...]
I’m a big fan of the Running from Camera blog, where people set their digital camera’s timers to 2-second countdowns, then run as far as they can from the camera before the picture is taken. This was my first attempt in a valley 5km upstream from the mountain town of Ayder, Turkey in Kaçkar Mountains [...]
Between volcanic interruptions, baggage fee increases, and booking fees beginning to resemble TicketMaster, it’s not like we don’t have a shortage of travel related topics to gripe about these days. However, I’m not going to let that stop me from throwing my own pet peeve onto the heap: Crowding the Baggage Claim: Why do so [...]
Notice anything strange about the bag tag sticker in the photo below: I’m holding it while it’s not attached to the bag. Crazy, eh? Air Canada’s self-serve check-in kiosks are now printing out the bag tag stickers for travelers so travelers can attach them before bringing their bags to a bag drop location. The responsibility [...]
