Post-quake life in Tokyo: 6 weeks after {Gadling}
May 24th 2011 11:27AM Thank you for the update on Japan. The country and the people of Japan continue in my thoughts. I wear a Kanji bracelet I purchased there as a daily reminder of Japan's ongoing suffering.
Galley Gossip: Goodies for the crew {Gadling}
May 27th 2010 7:17AM Saying please and thank you; how hard is it people? I must admit I judge the decency of those sitting around me by whether or not they say "please" or "thank you" to the flight attendant. When one particularly rude man grabbed his drink off the FA w/o looking at her or saying thank you, I leaned over, looked the FA in the eye and said thank you for him. That got his attention. It is the same thing I did with my children were young and forgot their manners. FA gave me a big grin.
Ten tips to make your trip through the airport security checkpoint easier on everyone {Gadling}
Jan 26th 2010 12:34PM I am amazed at the number of people who still don't seem to know about the liquid rule. About a week ago as I was getting ready to put my bag, laptop, etc through the machine at the airport when the screener came back with a bag that needed to be re-screened. She was also holding 3 items which evidently had just been removed from the bag. Three - 20 oz containers of shampoo, conditioner and lotion. The screener and I exchanged a look, but didn't say a word.
11 tips for sleeping on planes {Gadling}
Jan 22nd 2010 4:57PM Okay, no fair. Some of you people sleep longer on planes than I do in my bed. Have tried many times to find the right combination of tactics, but even on first and business class flat beds to Asia and Europe I have had no success sleeping on a plane. Seems the only good thing about regularly sleeping less than five/six hours a night is that I have adjusted to sleep deprivation and I am have still able to function (albeit marginally) when I land at my destination.
