You know what this is. This is where we remind you to be careful out there. This is where we tell you that everyone and their former president are traveling today and to allow yourself ample time and good humor to arrive in a safe and timely manner.
When you’re stuck in airport security behind some clown with a roaster pan and gravy in his carry-on luggage think of this post and these special Thanksgiving moments (via SNL):
Turkeys may not fly, but they’re arriving by the plate full. Also, tofurkey.
Speaking of turkeys, people are traveling in mass this weekend and into next week. No, I did not call you or your mother a turkey – just that one relative that you’ve called worse. Turkey. Read More »
Rolling Clouds and Leaves of Fall Outside of Seattle
I’m not going to lie. I took these photos in my front yard about 30 minutes ago. Sue me.
The point is that there are many reasons to get in your gas-guzzling car and drive around our wonderful nation right now, namely really pretty trees. Read More »
Couples Retreat may have topped the box office with $35.3m over the opening weekend, but it doesn’t really make the case for vacation therapy.
In fact, this Vince Vaughn starrer goes the other way – and suggests that the best way to save your marriage is to escape from the wacky Couples Retreat staff and the weird yoga techniques (filmed at the St. Regis Resort in Bora Bora). You end up at a singles resort instead, get sloshed, scream and shout at your spouse and then a round of make-up sex solves all your problems. Read More »
It should come as no surprise that women are much, much smarter than men. But with that being said, my attempts at making my girlfriend drive me all over the greater Los Angeles area to find locations from my favorite films backfired yesterday.
It was mean.
But I’m getting ahead of myself.
As I mentioned earlier, I have begun this ‘entitled’ project all over the area, finding the places that I feel like I deserve to see while I’m here. We’ve covered Swingers and True Romance, and I plan on finding a few more.
But when I found out that not far from where I lived was a school that was the local for a handful of my favorite films, I had to go.
When you first get to Marshall High School, you can immediately tell why it was constantly popping up in the cinema, what with its massive entryway and tree-lined yards. But a quick walk around the premises and you’ll start to remember the scenes that were shot here: Read More »
According to travel writer Judy Grimes 2010 is the year of the travel deal. However, she may be kidding. (video below)
While Grimes is focusing, relatively, her focus on the upcoming year don’t let that keep you from taking a trip this fall or winter. Travel deals are pretty good in 2009, too.
Also, please note that I believe the part about living alone.
Orbitz Worldwide hosted their first annual Blogger’s Day early this week at their headquarters in the beautiful city of Chicago.
Orbitz was an incredibly gracious host and really went out of their way to ensure the comfort and enjoyment of all their guests, which included some of the biggest travel blogs on the web today (yes, even us!).
There are a lot of big things on the horizon for Orbitz and they were kind enough to share them with us, unfortunately they made us pinky swear not to cover all of it. Something about swimming and cement shoes.
What we can discuss is the excitement and passion that is Orbitz and how it runs throughout the entire company. They are generally giddy over the news regarding their change in Orbitz fee policy. They are obsessed with hotels and customer service. Technology drives them. Also, coffee. Read More »
