We have all seen the newspaper photos and television coverage - practically every Thanksgiving and Christmas travellers get stranded at airports usually because of bad weather. The airlines can’t control the weather, so nobody gets food or hotel vouchers in those cases. Everybody tries to get cosy wherever they can.
Flight cancelations caused by the airline […]
The recent announcement from TSA and major laptop bag companies like Targus sounds promising: a new “checkpoint friendly” laptop case which will zip us through airport security without removing the laptop from the bag.
The goal: build a bag with no fasteners or pockets (too much clutter) which impede the X-ray equipment. If TSA can fully […]
I’m not even a frequent flyer (at least not in the true sense of the word) and I absolutely hate the whole plastic-baggy thing we’ve got going on. Now a company called travelon has come up with what sounds like a great solution - little biodegradable sheets which can be reconstituted into shampoo, conditioner, and […]

Nothing completely prevents wrinkles of […]
“An essential kit for the for the frequent or long haul flyer. A mixture of homeopathic remedies, flower essences & oils to soothe & support the body.”
On a recent long-haul flight with Emirates, I had the opportunity to try out some of these products. I especially liked the combos for putting you to sleep and […]
In a previous blog, Chris took the risk of being called a technophobe (he really is not) by outing himself as a user of a paper-based organizer. I also have not been able to give up paper 100% - while my calendar and address book are electronic, I still use a paper notebook for meeting […]
This post may show me to be a complete troglodyte and technophobe, but one of my most important travel items remains my good old-fashioned pen and paper organizer. It’s not that I like being dependent on paper and pen - in fact, I have tried for years to get rid of it. I have found, […]
