regional first
Air New Zealand is at it again with their safety videos. This time they maintain the expected humor, but also feature something New Zealand is famous for, the great outdoors. I'm sort of indifferent to Bear Grylls, but still enjoyed the video. Guess I'm a sucker for a Kiwi accent, although only the flight attendant with minimal lines sounds like a native New Zealander.
New Zealand is absolutely one of my favorite destinations in the world. The small ...
After our stay at the Sheraton Maui, we made our way to the airport for the quick flight to Kauai. We had 5 nights on the island, and ultimately decided to split our time between the Grand Hyatt on the south side and the St. Regis in Princeville.
Our one previous stay on Kauai was at the Marriott near the Lihue airport. We knew we wanted to spend some time on the north shore, but since the St. Regis Princeville is pretty pricey, and I didn't want to ...
I didn't start this blog intending to leverage it into a source of income. In almost 2 years, that is still true. Would I like to just travel at my leisure and blog about it without having to work my 'day job'? Sure, but I don't see that happening right now.

On this trip, we split our time on Maui and Kauai. Maui is probably our favorite island, and we wanted to give Kauai another shot after a rather lukewarm experience on our previous ...
Despite the fact that I live less than 100 miles from O'Hare, I do occasionally stay in hotels near there, in the case of a very early flight or irregular operations.
I've had a few stays at the rather unique looking Hyatt Regency O'Hare recently. In both cases I was upgraded to a Parlor Suite, which is located in the Executive building. The hotel is a large convention center, that can lead to impersonal service, but my experiences at this property ...
I would guess that most people that are on this site are here to read about travel. Normally I would prefer you stay here and read the excellent blogs, but here I'd like to share another excellent online travel magazine. IFly Magazine is published bimonthly by KLM.

The content of iFly reminds me of what you'd see in an in flight magazine, but its much more interactive, with ...
