How travel has made me a better mom

"To all of you saintly moms out there who wake up with an effortless Colgate smile, jumping out of bed to prepare a huge, time-consuming breakfast for grateful children all before you take time for your own cup of coffee, who actually enjoy putting in 400 miles a week in the minivan between play dates, soccer games, and piano lessons, all while joyfully listening to at high volume whatever teeny-bopper popstar crap is the new big thing on the radio: I am not you."

What’s the Best Airport in the United States?

Brian Sumers expresses concern at the silly naming of LAX as the best airport in North America by Business Traveller magazine.

Conclusion To My (Almost Private) Qatar Airways A350 Flight Saga

For those of you not up to date on the saga, see the previous posts:

-- I WANT TO REDEEM MILES FOR THIS FLIGHT SO BAD!

-- Booked On A350 To Position For Qatar Airways A350 Inaugural Flight

-- Hmmm, So You Want To Involuntarily Deny Me Boarding, Eh?

First of all, let me apologize for the title of the post from yesterday, because the way it sounded in my head was different than how it came across. I didn't mean it in the sense of "oh yeah, you're going to deny me boarding, well we'll see about that."
