Well, it is hard to believe that it has been one year since I started blogging here. And although I have not been the most consistent of bloggers, I have also been forced through some major life changes. Going from gainfully employed in a traveling job, to unemployed, to employed in a desk job. Looking back at my posts, I have learned a lot about my travel patterns when you sit down and analyze it. I find that I am less of an airline person, and more of a hotel snob. ...
I am posting this one out of order as the MegaDO is supposed to open for reservations before this article would be posted on the schedule of this post, and I wanted to give everyone a preview of the group before reservations start.
So after rushing from Family Day in SFO, a group of us made it to the Andaz West Hollywood for the launch party. When going up to the party, I first saw the sense of humor of the Andaz.

The Room
I was upgraded to a two room corner suite, which was really just composed of two normal rooms, with the door opened and the second room converted into a sitting area.
Overall a ...
As I mentioned previously, I ended up getting stranded at LAX for 7 hours last weekend on my way home from the oneworld MegaDO launch party. So I decided to purchase a discounted pass to the Delta Sky Club at LAX.

The LAX Sky Club is a fairly nice lounge, and because it does provide a significant amount of international feed, it is a fully featured club, including showers.
And although it is in dispensers, they are the Korres ...
Before beginning my journey to SFO for Family Day, I had some time to kill at the Atlanta airport, and it was during the 3 hour window that the Senator lounge is open. And to make things even more convenient, it was only one concourse down from where my flight was scheduled to depart. Thus it was only a short walk/train ride from where I needed to be. I would be a bad upgrd writer if I passed up on this opportunity.
Facilities
The lounge is located ...
