I’d be remiss if I didn’t start [...]

12 Small Travel Must-Haves
As one who flies frequently, there are certain things I ALWAYS travel with. These items are essential to not only my carry-on bag, but also to my comfort away from home. Plus, they make unexpected delays a bit easier.
Antibacterial wipes. Be sure the germy plane surfaces and hotel room hot spots make your list of things to sanitize before using.

Seabourn Cruises: Behind-the-Scenes Interview
With Captain Dag on Seabourn Spirit.
Have you ever wondered just who the people really are that make everything run so smoothly onboard your cruise ship? What makes them tick?

As we all know, it takes more than just amazing cuisine to create “the experience”, especially at [...]
A Desert Pearl Glows in Utah
Desert Pearl Inn, in Springdale, UT, is a fabulous 61-room boutique hotel that sits on the water’s edge right at the entrance to Zion National Park. It’s one of the most luxurious national park-related hotels I’ve ever stayed in.

Why “Pet-Passengers” Prefer Tampa and Orlando Airports
Stellar Stores for Pets!
Never underestimate the travel buying-power held by those of the pet persuasion. More and more hotels, restaurants and city halls are finding that being pet-friendly is not only great customer service; it’s also good for business. One innovative airport concessionaire is meeting the demands of sophisticated airborne animals by providing just the retail therapy any well-traveled pet and their companion would appreciate.
If you don’t own a dog, chances are you know someone who does. That’s why Dog‧E‧works, [...]
Champagne Wishes and Caviar Dreams: What’s on your Travel “Bucket List?”
On a quick trip to a local “Big Box” store today, I passed by the electronics section to find the film, “The Bucket List” playing across the TV screens on display. While not a huge fan of the film itself (I do adore Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, but I found the plot a bit contrived), I did appreciate the notion of having an actual “Bucket List.”
As someone who has lost loved ones from a very early age, it’s [...]
The “Around-The-World” Wash Bag
Why are we always featuring Pan Am Luggage? Well, we just love it so much for so many reasons. It looks fantastic (pics below), is made extremely well (sexy close-up shots included) and when it comes to being hip it rates higher than the Mini and Virgin Atlantic! Just walk through any air terminal with one of these bags and try not to cause a commotion.
This clever little bag is the only toiletry bag you’ll need. Roomy enough to [...]

ATLs One Flew South is Worth Flying Into
Gailen & Carole at One Flew South. ATL, Concourse E (just to the left of the escalators).
Located in Concourse E in Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, this fine dining establishment sets the bar for all other airport-located restaurants. Yes, I said, “fine dining.”
One Flew South is a wonderful, luxurious concept for airport dining. Sure, there are enough dinky little airport food joints from which to grab a pre-flight or post-flight bite, which typically translates to icky food and drab [...]
Fabulous Renaissance Concourse Atlanta Airport Hotel is for Nerds
Are you an aviation nerd like we are? If so, you simply have to stay at this runway-based hotel in Atlanta, GA. In fact, as I type this I’m sitting on my 11th floor balcony watching & listening to planes simultaneously take-off & land. It’s won.der.ful.

ATL XpresSpa – Worth Scheduling a Layover for…
An oasis in a hurried, rushed, oft stressful environment, ATL’s XpresSpa (located in Concourse C across from gate 37 and Concourse A Centerpoint) is worth scheduling a layover for. And, you have more time for a spa service than you realize.
My early flight landed at Concourse D, so I took the airport train to Concourse C to grab a pedicure. I was greeted by Misty, who took my carry-on and stored it for me, then guided me [...]
