regional first
This photo is another from a past trip that has brought back a flood of memories of my experiences.
I'm sure the architechtural style gives away the region where this site is located. But can you name the specific location? This is in a large city with lots of sites to see. This particular spot is worth a visit, but its not at the top of most lists. It is a bit unique since many similar places in this area are no longer standing. ...
Similar to my United domestic first class legs at the beginning of the trip, I had 2 Thailand domestic flights in business class between Bangkok and Chiang Rai. Everything else on this ticket was in International First Class.
When I booked this, one way was on an A300, and the return on a A330. They also have some narrowbody Airbus on this route, but I tried to avoid that. Thai is known for their frequent schedule changes. Ultimately both legs ...
Last week I had a business trip to Winston-Salem, North Carolina. When booking the trip from Milwaukee to Greensboro, I noticed that the only options on my preferred carrier (United) consisted of four legs on 50 seat RJs. The ticket was over $650.

I still have Delta ...

This cost around US $100 for 8 or so hours, more than it would have cost to rent a car to drive myself, but the local ...

Where was this photo taken, what is this called, and what is the story behind this unique location?
Have you visited there?
This is part of a "photo flashback" series of photos I'm sharing from ...
After my overnight stay in Bangkok, I had a morning flight to Chiang Rai. Sadly my stay in Northern Thailand was just one night, but I was able to spend almost 2 full days exploring the area. I arrived in Chiang Rai in the morning, and the cab ride was only a few minutes to the hotel. They cheerfully checked me in despite my arrival at the hotel before noon. I was upgraded to a room in the Grand Deluxe Wing, which is the newest section of ...
