Pan Am Dining: it’s Become “a Thing” In Los Angeles, New York, and London

There’s been a bit of a stir over Air Hollywood’s Pan Am dining experience — eat dinner on board a replica of a Pan Am 747. A $200 ticket gets you a business class seat for cocktails, dinner, and a movie. And a $300 first class ticket gives you a first class seat for cocktails […]

Hong Kong Removing “Cum” From Trash?

Hong Kong has long had trash cans which will make any 14-year-old-boy-at-heart giggle.

But I noticed something during my recent trip that I hadn't been noticed before, as the word "CUM" was covered on many of these dumpsters trash cans.

Anyone know why Hong Kong is removing the word "cum" from the trash?

Inquiring minds want to know...

Here’s an Airline That Shouldn’t Be Reborn

I’m too young to really remember Air Florida, although I know stories of Air Florida. Mostly I remember that Howard Stern went on the radio in DC ostensibly asking them for a one-way ticket from Washington National airport to the 14th Street Bridge, a day after the crash of Air Florida flight 90 caused by […]

Weekly Review: September 13, 2014

Hello from Hong Kong! I am here for a quick trip courtesy of some great fares American was offering earlier in the year on their new Dallas > Hong Kong route, and it's been a whirlwind (but awesome) few days.

As a side note, thanks to all of you for sharing in all this. While it's been a rough ten days for me, I feel like this has been an exceptionally fun week on the blog, and it's really because of y'all. Every single crappy travel moment I've had has been brightened by the thought of "well, at least it will make a good story."
