Ever wonder what a Flight Attendant thinks about the trials, tribulations, and frustrations of travel?
Listen to my podcast interview with Addison Schonland from IAG, a leading aviation and travel industry business, and find out what I have to add to the discussion of delays, TSA, carry on bags, and more.

Earlier this year I wrote about a great trip to Philadelphia, and a chance to view the Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs exhibit at the Franklin Institute (222 North 20th Street. 20th & Benjamin Franklin Parkway).
If you’ve been putting off visiting the exhibit, you have about a week and a half left before […]
Last week I wrote a post explaining why I check my bags, and sharing with you some tips to make sure that your checked luggage doesn’t go astray.
There are, however, certain items that you should NEVER check, and should ALWAYS bring with you onboard in your carry-ons.

I’ve been travel blogging for about a year and a half now, and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. I’ve met some wonderful people, both in person when traveling and online.

Today b5media makes the world a little smaller with the addition of two new destination blogs: The Sydney Traveler and The Atlanta Traveler.
Blogging has made far-flung places, once so unattainable and unreachable, accessible to everyone. We don’t ever have to leave our home or office to learn about, and experience, life in new and exotic […]
I spent lots of time chatting with friends last night about the current episode of Top Chef, Bravo’s reality cooking show.
I became a fan of the show because I know one of the chefs. Chef Brian Malarkey is the nephew of a good pal, and I got to know him during his tenure at […]
I’m back from vacation in the City of Lights, Paris, France.
With a little research, some good luck, and a lot of ideas and suggestions from Lynn at The Paris Traveler, the trip was fabulous.
I’ll have lots of photos and great stories to share with you over the next few months, but until I get […]
