When you travel all the time, it becomes easy to take the whole process for granted. Instead of being excited about heading off to the airport for a flight, you complain about having to go on “one more trip.”
It’s easy to understand how you feel when you’re traveling for business, but when it’s finally […]
I first heard about TVtrip.com when they launched last summer. The concept is to provide a hotel search engine that uses unbiased videos filmed by TVtrip. You check out the video, decide if you like the hotel, and then book. All for the TVtrip website.
Although the concept was interesting, there just weren’t enough hotels […]
This question comes from Heather, and it’s another one of those questions that I get asked a lot.

If the thought of being stuck at 40,000 feet with the incessant chattering of cell phone users all about makes you shudder, you’ll want to act to support recently introduced legistlation.
Representative Peter DeFazio of Oregon has introduced H.R. 5788 or the HANG UP Act. (HANG UP is an acronym for Halting Airplane Noise to […]

Public transportation: I’m a big believe in public transportation. When at […]
On May 16-17th, enthusiasts of extraterrestials, UFO sightings, aliens, and all sorts of other mysteries will meet in McMinnville, Oregon for the 9th Annual UFO Festival.
The festival started to honor the 1950 Trent sighting in which a couple of McMinnville residents saw a large, metallic looking, disc-shaped object hovering silently in the sky just […]
I first visited the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino when it was in a soft opening in 1999. It’s an all-suite, Venice-themed hotel and casino, and like most things in Vegas, it is over-the-top.
A few current features of the Venetian include the art exhibit Modern Masters from the Guggenheim Collection, Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, gondola […]
Honolulu’s Bishop Museum offers the natural and cultural history of Hawaii’s indigenous people. Founded in 1889 by Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop, the last heir to Kamehameha I, you’ll find artifacts and exhibits representative of all the Pacific Islands.
A couple of my favorite highlights are the Science on a Sphere exhibit and the Science Adventure […]
