Moxie가 처음 가본 Buc-ee’s – Leeds, AL
지난 5월말에 아틀란타에서 멤피스로 운전하고서 잠시 다녀올 일이 있었습니다.
왕복으로 다녀오는 길에 있던 미국에서 최근 크게 성장하고 있는 대형 고속도로 주유소 겸 휴계소를 오늘 소개합니다.
아틀란타와 멤피스간의 이동은 약 6시간정도 걸렸는데요. 아틀란타 출발 약 3시간이 채 되기전에 Leeds라는 알라바마의 동네를 지나갑니다.
Buc-ee's는 오래전부터 한번 가보려고 마음은 먹고 있었고요. 작년 이맘때쯤 저희가 St. Augustine에...

The shift shows how little traditional elite upgrades are worth now that airlines would rather sell the...

Asiana Airlines LAX-ICN A380-800 Business Class 2026 Review
올 4월에 다녀왔던 ATL-LAX-ICN-SGN-NRT-ORD-ATL 여행 일정중에 두번째구간 비행 탑승 리뷰에 왔습니다.
여러번 탑승해봤던 아시아나 항공 A380-800 비지니스석이긴 한데, 포인트발권으로 좋은 자리가 보여서 한국으로 가는 비행편으로 선택을 했습니다.
