Feb 8th, 2010 at 9:30AM: If you think long distance dating is difficult, try being married to an airline employee. It ain't easy. Because working for an airline is not just a job, it's a lifestyle, a very unusual one. Even now, seven years later, my husband, a man who travels more often than I do, doesn't completely understand how things work in the aviation industry and will often times get frustrated whenever we're ...In the Heart of Central America: Planning a wedding or honeymoon in Honduras
Dec 14th, 2009 at 9:00AM:
Imagine walking down a lush green aisle to a small open-air wooden structure where billowy white curtains frame a view of a valley spread below and blueish mountains in the distance.

Jun 23rd, 2009 at 8:00AM: Planning a wedding is the final test of a relationship. If a couple can survive this gauntlet of vendors and family members, the marriage has a real shot. It's even more taxing when you're putting together a destination wedding (definitely not my favorite kind). The only thing that could make this experience worse is the emotional toll exacted by interfaith struggles. If you're dealing with this ...Easyjet's jilted in the sky

The airlines plans to conduct mile-high marriage ceremonies, however, were stymied by local British bureaucrats who said they couldn't give the airline permission.

Nov 26th, 2008 at 3:30PM: If you have just the slightest clue what the title of this article refers to, then you will also know how I feel about the subject. I guess you could say there are two subjects in this case: Cabo San Lucas as a celebrity hotspot and Speidi getting married. Neither subject is a pleasant one in my opinion, but just the thought of the second makes me want to wretch. Yes, they did. Spencer Pratt and ...The Thai Women's Guide to Scoring a Foreign Man
Sep 16th, 2007 at 6:41PM: I love Thailand. It's a great place to travel to and is brimming with gracious people, good food, rich history and amazing scenery. But one of the most disturbing things about Thailand is the sex trade, which is literally everywhere. Beautiful Thai women (and ladyboys) crawl over one another for the chance to 'entertain' fat, balding foreign men (or women!) who they believe can be their passport ...Getting Married? Here's Some Good Advice.
Aug 23rd, 2007 at 10:00AM: My recent post about the wedding at Prague's Ruzyne airport got me recalling my own marriage to Carol in 2003. Travel's a big part of our life together. Even though we're both from Auckland, we actually met in Thailand, and more often than not it's her photographs which complement my words.
When we got married we'd already been living together for several years, so certainly didn't need anything ...Band on the Run: Train Crashes the Party
Aug 11th, 2007 at 1:00PM:
I have been thinking a lot about trains lately. On August 4th in Prince George, BC, there was a head-on collision of two CN trains just on the edge of town. The resulting derailment created a huge fire that burned into the next day and threatened the nearby Fraser River with contamination from the small gasoline spill. One tanker was northbound carrying the oil product and the other was ...A Canadian In Beijing: Two-Wheeled Matrimony
Apr 24th, 2007 at 3:08AM:
I've been here for three weeks and I'm pretty sure that yesterday was my first "bad day." Okay, perhaps "bad" is the wrong word for it. I'd have to say that what started as a good day became a low day, a sad day, a frustrating and annoying day. . . a day when I wished I were home and not here. . . for just an hour, perhaps. I could have even found solace in twenty minutes. (They need to invent ...Moving Overseas in a Relationship
Feb 7th, 2007 at 12:26PM: In today's busy world where most couples each have jobs and we are all burdened by tons of responsibility, it can be hard to live a dream and move abroad. I know that I've long wanted to get back overseas to live, but professional and personal (family, spouse with a job) reasons have made it hard to pick up and go. But should that stop you (or me for that matter?). Well, that is a matter of ...
