Fly Away Cafe - Where travel is a way of life

Top 5 Posts for January 2008

by Mary Jo Manzanares on February 1st, 2008

There are so many aspect, angles, niches, and opinions about travel, that it is sometimes hard for me to guess what is going to capture your attention. 

I try to write about tips that I’ve learned from 20-plus years of working as a Flight Attendant, hoping that you will find them helpful as well.  I also try to share with you places I’ve been, things I’ve done, and various travel experiences.  While a post can never replace the experience of “doing-it-yourself,” I hope that you’ll find something new that intrigues you, and makes you want to travel.

Here are the Top 5 posts (most widely read) for January 2008:

1. Green Architecture Before its Time:  Frank Lloyd Wright Taliesin West.  Written last summer, it’s remained popular because of the continued interest in ecology sound architecture.  If you’re in Phoenix for the SuperBowl, Scottsdale is just a short drive away, and this would make a nice little side trip.
2. What to do When You Can’t Find a Hotel in Paris.  When I couldn’t find a reasonably priced hotel in Paris, I rented an apartment for the week, and lived among locals.  I highly recommend it.
3. Back to Basics:  Landing & Deplaning.  Part of my series on air travel, starting at home and ending with picking up your luggage at baggage claim.
4. Salem Witch Trials.  A post from June 2006 that has found renewed interest among readers.
5. Titanic Artifact Exhibition Will Arrive in Atlanta.  While the post is from over a year ago, and the exhibition has left Atlanta, it seems to remain a popular topic.  The exhibition is till on tour in the U.S., and will be leaving for Europe later this year.

I’ll be keeping all this in mind and I map out my topics for this coming month.  If there’s something specific you’d like to know about, be sure to leave a comment or email me directly.

Thanks to everyone for reading!
