I’m one of those people who think the airplane is always too chilly.
On overnight flights across country or to Europe it’s usually hard to get a comfortable temperature. And coming from a warm climate back to chilly Seattle is always difficult.
I NEVER use the blankets on the airplane. I know that they swear […]
While this is a hypothetical question, infused with a bit of humor for entertainment value, perhaps you can see the underlying issue.
Q. (Asked by a 6′4″ burly looking guy, with two large (and heavy looking) carry on bags in one hand, and a cell phone glued to his ear with the other.) Hey - […]
There is etiquette to be considered on escalators and moving sidewalks. It’s really very simple —
STAND RIGHT — WALK LEFT!
What does this mean?
If you are going to remain stationary while riding the escalator or the people-mover (moving sidewalk), stand single file on the right side, allowing people who are walking to pass […]
If you’ve never found the comedic in art, Puerco Azul (Blue Pig) will set you straight.
This whimsical art gallery in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, occupying both a house and its courtyard, is full of an eclectic mix of one-of-a-kind art. The common denominator to it all is animals.
Gallery owners Lee and Nancy Chapman traveled Mexico […]

Welcome to the May 7th, 2008 edition of the Carnival of Travelers. Yes, I know it’s a few days late, but real life has a way of catching up with lately.
Our theme for May was Local Events, and it was one that bloggers seemed to have a lot of trouble with. Many submissions were off […]
Today’s question, from Jon at The DC Traveler, is somewhat tongue in cheek and a bit of a challenge to all the bloggers in the Travel & Culture Channel:
Q. What would be the quintessential (tongue-in-cheek) cocktail for a Flight Attendant?
A. As tongue in-cheek as I’m sure the rest of our bloggers will be, here’s […]
After a sunny day exploring the island of Capri, it was fun to take the chair lift in Anacapri all the way to the very top to take a view of the island and surrounding area. The fog rolling in on one side of the island created quite a juxtaposition with the sun on the […]
