  CNN wants to know what’s the best city in America? Take the survey and if you want to be right, choose Seattle!

  The water is good, but watch out for the cave dwellers

  01.10.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  After overnight stops in Chicago (scheduled) and Puerto Rico (unscheduled, apparently the communication system for the Aruba airport does not have a battery backup) we’ve been in Aruba since Monday.
  While there’s not a whole lot to do here, we’ve had two interesting wildlife experiences so far… leading my wife to compare the trip to two [...]

  Pick a number between one and 53…

  12.08.07 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  Just off the top of your head… we’re waiting.
  From the NYT: The 53 Places to Go in 2008. We picked #13 Sylt (known for nude beaches) and #27 Buenos Aires (for the first five-star gay hotel in Latin America). Sounds like quite a trip.

  Why does the LAX terminal 3 food suck so much

  09.27.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  When you fly out of terminal 3 at LAX (Alaska and a couple other small airlines) the food choices consist of Starbucks, Burger King, a CPK “Express” (how can a place that calls itself CPK not have pizza?) and some crappy sports bar. This is 2007 people! Airports like Seattle, Denver and SF all have [...]

  limo4me: the best Seattle town car service

  09.27.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  Because my 2002 post about flying to Phoenix somehow gets enough search traffic that somebody recently offered me $35 to place an ad on that page (still waiting on the reply!), I thought I would point out a business I’ve been using and highly recommend.
  When we moved to Seattle two years ago, I knew very [...]

  Saturday night in a yurt

  09.24.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  We spent Saturday in Yurt #4 in the Yurts at Kayak Point. If you haven’t spent a night in a yurt before, I highly recommend it.
  While it was certainly exciting when our key would no longer open the deadbolt and the park ranger had to break the window (okay, pry out the plexiglass) to open [...]

  CNN goes to Ithaca

  09.17.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  From CNN.com (thanks Thanh): In the lush land of the Finger Lakes.
  Lately we’ve been thinking about Ithaca and the farmer’s market and Solaz Burritos and the apples (and apple donuts mmmm)…

  If it’s not one thing it’s another

  The good news: your company’s annual worldwide sales meeting is in Paris.
  The bad news: the meeting is over a weekend (will need precious vacation time for anything fun), and your hotel is cultural f’ing wasteland Disneyland Paris, 45 minutes outside the city.

  Train to the Roof of the World

  06.30.06 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  Wired Mag: Train to the Roof of the World: “In its entirety, the Qinghai-Tibet railway stretches 1,215 miles, and most of the new portion runs over terrain with elevations between 13,000 and 16,000 feet – cruising altitude for some commuter flights.”
  Why can China build a train like that while we can’t build a simple high [...]

  Am I the only person annoyed by airport security when they say

  We suggest that you remove you shoes.

  WTF does this mean? What happens if I choose not to take off my shoes? Will rapid rabid (vapid?) dogs chase after me, or will I be fine if I pass through the metal detector without a beep? [...]
