Budget Travel: Ft. Lauderdale {Gadling}
Nov 3rd 2009 8:21AM Rosie,
Thanks for the suggestion of where else to stay--plus your Bonnet House impression. From what I read about it, it's the exact type of place I would like to visit. I'm glad you were able to take it in.
Edgar Allan Poe travel for Halloween weekend {Gadling}
Oct 29th 2009 10:59PM Thanks, Chris!
I know there are other sites as well. I never knew there were so many Poe sites until I started looking. How great that there has been so much effort to preserve his legacy.
Ten vintage carousels with a romance side {Gadling}
Oct 27th 2009 11:07PM That's a good one too. I knew of some and did a search for vintage carousels. That one did not come up. I thought Walt Disney got his idea for Disneyland from Tivoli Gardens. Where I got that idea, I can't remember.
South by Southeast: In Bangkok? Head to the mall! {Gadling}
Oct 27th 2009 5:33PM You were at my favorite Bangkok mall, the Emporium. You're experience there sounds totally awesome. Along with the great food, there's that marvelous top floor where the movie theater is located. Where else do you stand for the king before you watch a blockbuster movie? The last movie I saw in Bangkok was "Remember the Titans."
Inside Air New Zealand's Matchmaking Flight {Gadling}
Oct 27th 2009 1:44PM Mike, I really enjoyed reading this. It sounds like fun and you captured the personalities of the people. I wonder if any of the other passengers that were not part of the 100 wish that they had been?
Free press travel: necessary ... and certainly not an evil {Gadling}
Oct 24th 2009 12:04AM Tom,
One of the benefits of press trips is also that one really does find out about places one wouldn't find out about otherwise. There are places I've been on a press trip I've yet to write about because of lack of time or not having a specific angle, but I keep telling friends of mine to go to these places because I was so impressed.
My general feeling of the few press trips I've been on is that people are so happy and interested to show off the gem they've created in the world. I am always impressed by people's passion.
You're right about the pace, particularly meals. It's not easy eating great food all day long. I'm serious about that.
Northwest pilots fly plane miles past airport where plane was supposed to land {Gadling}
Oct 23rd 2009 4:50PM The tapes are going to be listened to as part of the investigation. It sure doesn't look like they'll come out ahead on this one.
These boots were made for ... airplanes ... {Gadling}
Oct 17th 2009 6:14PM These boots look way cool. Not inexpensive I imagine. Or are they? What's the sticker price?
Chesley Sullenberger, of Hudson River plane landing fame, touts new book on the Daily Show {Gadling}
Oct 15th 2009 4:12PM Could be, Bob. It was interesting seeing him interact with Jon Stewart, or maybe the other way around. Certainly a contrast in personalities!
Top 10 travel-themed 50's songs {Gadling}
Oct 15th 2009 4:11PM Hi Bob,
I did say it wasn't a Belafonte original and also found the info you mentioned as well and the details about Edric Conner. The song seems to have a couple of versions.
