Airline Fees
Since we'll be climbing back in the saddle in a few weeks and resuming our globe trotting, or at least continental trotting ways, I've been thinking a bit about the current state of the domestic airline industry. Like, for instance,...
Europe and Disease or the Black Death Revisited
I love Europe. And what's not to love? Fine cuisine, culture, scenic towns, cities, and countryside. A place where tradition still holds sway, from the panoply of royal audiences to the nightly collection of the drunks from town gutters....
In Dearth of Common Sense
You know I could have just written an Airline Behaving Badly article about this because it's easy and fun, and did I mention, easy? The Airline Behaving Badly articles are enjoyable because they're often kind of funny, the kind...
Golden Oldie
One shouldn't get the impression from the preceding entry that we did not enjoy our culinary outings in Austria. We did. Quite a lot actually. And one of the better and more interesting adventures along the way was dining...
Austrian Cuisine
I'd hesitate to call Austrian cuisine monotonous, because really, it isn't. I mean you have an extensive selection of sausages to choose from. And for dessert there's any number of tortes, cakes, and pastries available. But if you're looking...
German Airports
On this past trip we flew out of Munich airport and I have to say, I like German airports. At least I like them if they're like Munich. Previously, I'd only flown in or out of Frankfurt airport and I...
Germanic Idylls
We enjoyed our recent visit to Germany, really we did. Beer gardens (or biergartens as our Teutonic cousins refer to them) are awesome. I could spend days there but sadly, Mary has some sort of genetic disorder that results...
Open Letter to Sir Richard Branson
Dear Sir (and I'm using the title here - not the generic greeting), May it please your Excellency but we, poor misguided commoners that we are, doth humbly and abjectly beseech thee to forgive us our wayward ways and...
Wurst!
Vienna is known for many exemplary cultural type things. Like operas, symphonies, theaters, bookstores, cafes with dark, dark coffee and fine, fine pastries. But as a wise man said, man can't live on exquisite and elegant examples of taste...
Update
Sorry for the lack of updates. We encountered a couple of problems during the last half of our European vacation. First, we had the damndest time getting onto our hotel WiFi networks. We'd be sitting in the same room (weird,...
Smallish Problems
So anyone who reads this blog instead of making entries in that spreadsheet that your boss wanted - yeah, you, I know who you are, might have noticed that there have been a few problems lately. Apparently, Movable Type does...
New Observations From Across the Pond
We arrived yesterday in Vienna, this being the Vienna, by the way, that is the former capital of the Hapsburg dynasty, centerpiece of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and where those General Food Viennese Coffee mixes come from (OK, kidding about that...
British Air Terminal Five
Terminals. Always sound somewhat ominous. "You'll be proceeding to Terminal Three where you'll slip the bonds of earth and ascend into the skies. Make your peace with God now and may heaven have mercy on your souls". Wouldn't that be...
Travel Insurance Lacks Coverage Against Zombies
So we'll soon be off to Europe to celebrate our tenth anniversary. This is essentially Mary's idea. My idea for a tenth anniversary celebration consisted of His and Hers motorcycles, a road trip across America, Land of the Brave,...
Magic Eight Ball Says 'The Times Are Not Propitious'
So while perusing the news lately (which sounds much more classy than just reading the news), it might be understandable how one could come to the conclusion that times are bad, nations are in peril, and nature is running...
Airlines Behaving Badly VI
Ahh, Ryanair. Who'd ever guess I'd have another chance to write about this airline? Well me, and the three or four people who might, occasionally, glance at this blog. Hi, Mary! Revisiting my extensive list of articles related to...
Bicycling in Style
Along with the recent discovery of Chap magazine and the mounting suspicion that I had been stolen from the manorial estate in East Sussex while still a babe and deposited with uncouth colonials in that most ghastly of all...
Anchovial Alchemy
I have a new addiction. The new addiction joins the panoply of other food related addictions such as the fried pork products, fried potato products, beer, fruit cake (that's another story - for later), smoked meat products of all...

Airlines Behaving Abominably I
I decided to rename the category formerly known as Airlines Behaving Badly to Airlines Behaving Abominably because it just sounds cooler. And in the case of Ryanair, well, they really deserve a category all their own, but in this...
No Clear Path
Well, Clear will no longer have to be concerned with being overrated. Clear is no more. It's ceased to be. It is not, contrary to popular belief, pining for the fjords. It's dead, Jim. I'm not here to lament...
Overrated? Well, OK, Maybe
From Frommers today, an article with the provocative title of Top 10 Overrated Travel Experiences. Of course these are the author's picks. And you know what? I pretty much agree with the majority of the items. Clear, meh....
Flu, Flu Stay Away, Come On Back Some Other Day
I've always been amused by Airborne, a product that had been marketed as preventing colds while traveling. Recently the company that sells this "immune system helper" apparently lost a lawsuit for deceptive advertising. Since then, they've also changed the...
Airlines Behaving Badly IV - Well Kind Of
In a new survey, via SeatGuru.com, frequent flyers contended that food and service on US domestic airlines did not measure up to foreign carriers. In other news, grass is still green and scientists have established that water is, indeed,...
Honey - We're Off to Amsterdam!
Ok, I think the following concept is both brilliant and incredibly stupid all at the same time. The best ideas are like that - atomic bombs? Jordache jeans? Deregulating the banking industry? Well, alright, the last one was just...
Cereality - A Tour on the Surreal Side
On our last return leg back through DFW (which is Dallas-Fort Worth airport, but we experienced flyers all use the airport codes to show off how cool we are), we ended up in Terminal C which was a different...

It is possible that Ernst Stavro Blofeld did actually get plastic surgery and resurface with a new identity. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it is - dum, dum, da, dum, Michael O'Leary of Ryanair....

Random Observations From The Road - The Deep South

Road Trip - Savannah to Charleston
Although the shortest distance route between the cities of Savannah and Charleston would in normal circumstances take a little over an hour and a half, we don't roll that way. So we took the scenic, and then the not-quite-as-scenic route,...
Rain Delay - Savannah
At this point we've come to accept rain as just a normal and unavoidable part of our existence, like breathing, or news articles about Paris Hilton. We think that there is a chance that the rain may stop sometime before...
The Rain, The Rain - The Road Show
Rain followed us up the coast yesterday or we followed the rain up the coast yesterday, the jury is still out. In any case more rain forecast for today as we tour Savannah. We're feeling distinctly soggy. I think there...

Via Upgrade: Travel Better, a report that Dr. Evil, umm, Michael O'Leary, CEO of Ryanair, has devised yet another dastardly scheme aimed at either world domination or just general jerkishness, it's sometimes hard to tell which. Apparently they want to...
Airline Food Revisited Again, Once More

Boulder, Mountain High

Frozen Dead Guy Days

Or more specifically, Maui. This was our first time on this particular island paradise, though we did visit Kauai last year, so that's two of the Hawaiian Islands down. We're trying to collect the set, it'll look nice on...

I am completely puzzled by Hawai'i. I mean, how is it possible that the same set of environmental conditions can produce such radically different effects in different areas of the same country. For instance, when it's 85 degrees and...

Snapshots From the Big Easy

Vegemite Museum?
Ahh, the wonders of Vegemite. To the uninitiated, and if you are, thank your lucky stars, Vegemite is a sandwich spread, a toast topper, a floor wax and a bathroom caulk. Well, not actually the last two, but it...
Hotels That Are Not Mike Friendly
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the new Ivy Hotel in San Diego is not an inn that is seeking me as a customer. I'm pretty sure I'm not cool enough. No, strike that,...
Vegas, Baby, Vegas!
Hands -- anyone else besides me really tired of this catch phrase from a movie I never saw, and probably never will? Whenever you mention Las Vegas, does someone trot this little bon mot out and do you have...
Thinking of Maui
After our first trip to Hawaii, earlier this year, we've been kind of interested in visiting again and checking out one of the other islands. We figured it might be a while before we were able to go again...
Baggage Options

Disney has announced a new promotion for 2009. Go to Disneyland or DisneyWorld on your birthday and get in free. You have to register your birthday on-line first but then show up on the day of your birth at...
Bag Fees - Not Going Anywhere
So United decided to up the fee for a checked second bag to $50. The first bag checked still costs $15 each way. This, for the math impaired, means that a round trip for someone taking two checked bags...
Alitalia Woes
So it isn't just North American airlines that are suffering during this season of discontent, with no glorious summer on the horizon. Obligatory Shakespeare reference to shore up my literary credentials. I'm pretty sure that won't work but a...

United Backs Down - Free Food For All!
So United has backed off plans to eliminate meals in coach on international flights and sell snack-paks and meal-paks. And who doesn't like a Meal-Pak? Alas, apparently, people flying on United internationally. Or least they don't like Meal-Paks they...
Airport Eats

St. Regis San Francisco
This was our second visit to a St. Regis hotel. The first was in Aspen, in the very off-season. Although we enjoyed our stay at the St. Regis Aspen, I don't think we'd consider it one of our favorite...
