Places to visit NOW since Trump backed out of Climate Deal
If you’ve been hiding under a rock today, good for you! It might be one of the best places to get some shade in this warming planet. Today, Donald Trump announced his intention to pull out of the Paris Agreement, in a thinly veiled attempt to “protect American jobs.” Which jobs, I have no idea… because the future is clearly in green energy and green jobs. It’s amazing that only Syria and Nicaragua...
Chinese Tourists set a Record in 2016
If you’ve traveled to any place in the world that could be considered a tourist destination, then you’ve heard it. The sound of the air brakes letting out some pressure as the bus comes to a stop. Then… you hear it. The hoards of Chinese tourists, cameras in hand, ready to come and “consume†tourism. It’s no surprise that Chinese tourists...
This Airport will let you Board with more than 100ml in Carryon
In Genoa, a beautiful city in the Northwest of Italy, not a lot of people are really concerned about terrorism. Nor should they be. In what’s probably one of the first places to somewhat relax the 100ml regulation on liquids allowed to be brought into the cabin, the Genoa Airport has decided to lift the restriction for one of their main locally produced staples. Pesto genovese. This comes at the same time other countries in the...

United Airlines just told me “We Don’t Force People out of their Seats…”
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re aware of United Airline’s mishandling of recent situations with Dr. Dao. In case you actually HAVE been living under a rock, feel free to reach about that incident here. I just booked a flight on United Airlines for a client who has an ADA covered disability. Because of that, we needed to sit in the bulkhead for more leg room. Most airlines block certain seats for...
Dublin Free Walking Tour, a Quick Review
Every major city in Europe is great for weekend trips. The majority of the tourist sites are usually located right in the center of town and are pretty easily navigable by just walking. At the same time, almost every major city offers a free walking tour. Quick weekend trip to Dublin Back in January we decided that if we were going to be cold and miserable for a weekend, we could either choose Seattle (where we live) or Dublin (where...
European Chocolate meets American Cookie. Presenting, Milka Oreo!
One of the greatest joys when traveling abroad is trying out new foods. Ben and I always make time to head to a local supermarket and try as many of the interesting brands or styles of food that we can. Usually it’s one of the highlights of the trip, as most things we can never find back home. Enter, the Milka Oreo! Chocolate American chocolate sucks. Sorry y’all, I know I’m gonna get the hate comments, but as a...
The catering is BAD on Alaska Airlines, and they know it.
As a 75k gold member on Alaska Airlines, we fly a lot. Last year we flew over 95k miles on Alaska Airlines flights alone, and in total around 120,000 including partners. Because of their generous (often free) upgrades, we got bumped up to first class about 85% of the time. While I enjoy the comfortable seat, drinks, entertainment player, and attentive service, the one area where they could use some serious help from Virgin America...
