I own a Fitbit and I love it.  It has taught me that I don’t walk nearly as much as I assume I do when traveling, and has even inspired me to purchase a treadmill desk. A lot of travel folk added me when I first posted about having a …

If anything has been drilled into me from all the pre-flight instructions I’ve received, it’s that if the oxygen mask falls down, I should place it over my head.  I should then tug to ensure the oxygen is flowing (though it won’t inflate).  After securing my own mask, I should …

Admit it.  You’ve never wondered this before.  But now you kind of do.  Believe it or not, the United States has some of the tallest air traffic control towers in the world–but the USA does not ultimately come out on top. The winner? Bangkok. Air traffic control towers are tall. …

If you are having a bad day, you need to watch this video.  Heck, if you are having a good day, you need to watch this. A t-rex made it through most of the qualifying course for American Ninja Warrior and proved if he had just made it past the obstacle he …

If you were only spending five nights in the Auckland area, what would you prioritize?  Would you stay in the city the whole time, or would you venture out?  Is it worth heading out to Waiheke Island for a couple of the days? I ask because–surprise, surprise–I’m headed to Auckland …

Sometimes, booking giant trip itineraries gets so complicated, you miss out on the little details.  Such as buying tickets for the wrong day. Yes, it can happen to the best of us! It happened to Ed/Pizza, and I count him among “the best of us”.  But not only did he …
