10 Steps to Take the Pain Out of Checking Your Bags

I’m one of the few travelers that doesn’t mind checking my bags.

Amelie & I are Both in Paris

Vacation is a wonderful thing!  Since I couldn’t bring you along, perhaps you can experience Paris vicariously with the video trailer from the movie Amelie (one of my favorite foreign films).
I’m hoping to visit some of the locations where these movie was filmed.

Don’t Let Your Mail Pile Up While You’re Gone

Whenever I’m going to be gone for more than a few days, I put a hold on my mail until I return.  Although my mail is delivered to a locked mail box, it fills up quickly, and having the mail held means that I don’t have to worry about it overflowing.

Happy Labor Day

Labor Day should be a day of rest, a day to stop the toiling of every day life.  A day to relax, and enjoy the company of friends and loved ones.  A day to stop to smell the roses along this journey that is life.
Happy Labor Day!

Earlier this month I wrote about a new service called Flight Memory, where you could keep track of how many trips you’ve taken, miles you’ve flown, hours you’ve spent in the air, etc.
Since flying is my day job, I thought I’d see just how much time I spent in the air.  I’ve always thought […]
