For those that just love gazing at pictures of hotel rooms they could never afford (at least that’s the case for me), take a look at Elite Traveler’s 101 Top Hotel Suites of the Year list. Some pretty impressive suites there which really make me wonder where they finally draw the line when it comes [...]

OK, here’s a slightly off topic (since I’ve mostly been covering my travels lately) post about the question that I’m asked most often. I’ve inferred it throughout my posts and in general most that have been reading my blog for a while could probably figure it out, but I’ll spell out the answer in one [...]

I have to get to the gate pretty soon, so I’ll keep this update short.
I had an amazing flight on Air Canada. Ya wanna know something scary? I would take them anyday over Singapore, ANA, Thai, Asiana, Lufthansa, etc.
For one, their food is fantastic in my book. I’m a very simple eater and prefer to [...]

I know this is old news, but since I’ve been pretty disconnected for the past week other than my daily updates, I figured I’d make a quick post on the subject.
The International Herald Tribune reports:
Frankfurt and Hamburg airports will be the hardest hit on Monday when 52,000 employees of Lufthansa AG go on strike, a [...]

I just got to the lounge here in Shanghai after my SIN-PVG flight. I had a semi-”matron” for the first time ever on SQ. She wasn’t rude (actually she was sort of nice), but she had zero facial expressions (and it wasn’t because of botox as far as I could tell), and never said “you’re [...]

Wow, what a night! As soon as we boarded the DPS-SIN flight we felt as if we were boarding a redeye. Neither of us were totally adjusted to Bali time, so were quite tired by the time the flight rolled around.

Hello once again from the SKL in T3 at SIN! After an amazing weekend in Bali we are now waiting for our morning flights back home. It’s not even midnight and my flight is shortly after 8AM, but it’s a good opportunity to get some work done now and sleep on the plane later.

I’m just so impressed with this hotel that I have to write up another quick post. Like I said a full trip report with pictures is coming, so think of this as the teaser.
I forgot to mention earlier that the Royal Ambassador arrival gift was the best I’ve ever seen. It included a bottle of [...]
