Planning a trip can be as daunting as it is exciting. Especially with budget and time-restrictions. Jack and I have had our share of successes and failures in booking the perfect getaway but we never give up, even when things get complicated. Here’s how we planned a recent holiday to San Sebastian, Bilbao and London. Continue reading

Part of the reason I haven’t posted as much is due to being almost overwhelmingly busy at work, including frequent trips for various meetings. It has been interesting, and a year of flying nearly every month for a 2-3 day business trip has probably helped me become a more efficient traveler. We love sharing travel tips on the blog, so here are a few more to consider. Continue reading

I have no cure for jet lag. Does anyone really? The upside of jet lag (to me at least) is that a sound sleep usually follows.

I’m a pretty good traveler, but slightly prone to motion sickness on planes, trains and automobiles. I don’t take any medicine for it because I really don’t know when it will strike. On a plane, it’s usually due to turbulence. I’ve only puked on a plane once, and would like to keep it that way.
There were many bumps along the way when I flew from Baltimore to Las Vegas (en route to Reno) a few weeks ago, and I did.not.feel.great.
But I did not puke. Here are a few tips I use to prevent or combat motion sickness caused by Shakes on a Plane! Continue reading

I generally like airports. When I walk through the sliding glass doors, I feel energized by the sense of travel possibilities. Time can feel like it has stopped while you’re in this in-between space; you’re on your way but not there yet. Time is also your main focus – how long to get through security, is my flight delayed, can I order another drink before I have to trek to the gate? Airports can also be annoying, but I am determined to keep liking them. Especially after being inspired by Sunny and MJ, whose recent post proves that they really know how to keep their cool in an airport. Even when the wait is long, or the flight is cancelled, and it’s crowded, my sis and niece stay upbeat. My airport attitude is pretty good, but there’s always room for improvement. Here’s how I spend quality time in an airport: Continue reading

New to the airline industry? Have an immediate relative that’s an airline employee? Received a buddy pass for airline travel? Congratulations! The world awaits! Where to go first? The possibilities are endless and enough to make you giddy. There’s one catch: your flight privileges are designated as “nonrevenue passenger.” This means you will be flying stand-by, also known as nonrev. You can fly any where, any time….as long as there are empty seats on the flight. This can be tricky, but it is far from impossible. The most important thing is to know what to expect when you’re nonreving.
