Happy Thanksgiving from Flyaway Cafe

 
Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers here in the United States.
In honor of the day, I’ve spent some time thinking about the things for which I’m thankful.  I hope you’ll give that some thought as well.

PlaneSheets are Plane Friendly

While the wheels of change move very slowly in the airline industry, they do move.  And as a result, I get to write about a recent change.  One that came about after I wrote about the product PlaneSheets not being allowed to be used on the plane.
First, a little background.
About a month ago, I […]

Back to Basics: Don’t Pay for Unnecessary Insurance

Occasionally using public transportation isn’t an option, and that means a rental car.  You shop around for the best rate for your location, arrive at your destination, get to the desk, go over the paperwork, hand over your license, and then you get the question, “Would you like insurance?”
If you don’t travel much, you […]

Just Another Day in Paradise

Day 7 of Geography Awareness week, and the only continent remaining is North America.
It was hard to choose a place that I want to showcase in North America, because it’s too close to home.  There’s really no excuse for not visiting someplace that’s this accessible.
Instead, I thought I’d show you the view that I […]

Extremes of Nature in Patagonia

Day 6 of Geography Awareness week, and my profiles of where I’d like to visit on each of our seven continents.  Today it’s South America.
It was hard to decide where I’d most like to go in South America.  I’ve been to a few cities, and have had just a bit of a taste of […]

Art & Wine in Tuscany

The Tuscany region of Italy
Continuing with my geography awareness week of posts, I move on to the continent of Europe.
There are so many places in Europe that I’d like to visit that it was hard coming up with a destination to discover.  Well, actually it wasn’t hard to come up dozens of places that I’d […]

Four days into Geography Awareness Week, and now it’s time to go down under, giving me an opportunity to write about where I’d like to go on the continent of Australia. 
I’m featuring a different dream location each day this week, one from each of our seven continents, so be sure to check out […]

In Africa We Go on Safari

Day 3 in Geography Awareness week, and this time I’d like to head off to Kruger National Park in South Africa, another destination that’s a good two days of travel from my home in Seattle.
Kruger is located in the northeast part of South Africa, along the border of Mozambique to the east, and Zimbabwe […]
