The California coast bed and breakfast offers six room, four in the restored Head Lightkeeper’s House and two in Garden Cottages, the latter of which […]

Flight Attendant Friday: Security Lines

Today’s Flight Attendant Friday question is one that I am frequently asked.  It’s usually muttered under someone’s breath, and often in a rather harsh tone.  See if you can relate.

Take a Ride on the Giant Dipper

Flight Attendant Friday: Dating Pilots

Today’s question comes from a reader who asked to remain anonymous.
 
Q.  Have you ever dated a pilot?  Isn’t that pretty common?
A.  No.
