Mar 13th, 2008 at 10:30PM: Tomorrow I'm flying to San Diego on Southwest Airlines and on Sunday I'm going by bus to Mexico to build houses with more teenagers (one of them my daughter) than I've been around in awhile. That's the plan anyway. I'll fill you in on how that goes.
With Southwest Airlines' woes of having to ground planes and cancel flights, I'm wondering about the first leg of this endeavor. Since I'm supposed ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Feb 14th, 2008 at 2:00PM: Passengers on a flight from San Diego to Hawaii were expecting to have a safe flight followed by, hopefully, some relaxing time in Hawaii. Instead, they were exposed to measles.
Measles is a highly contagious disease and is characterized by the famous rash that first develops on the face and head, spreading downward to the torso and arms.
The San Diego Union-Tribune reported that an 11 month ...Concierge's IT List: Places for upscale tastes, but maybe cheaper
Jan 6th, 2008 at 3:30PM: There's The New York Times list of 53 places to go in 2008 (see post), the 40 travel tips and suggestions from London's Times (see post )and now Concierge.com has an IT List of 10 more suggestions, all with sound reasoning behind each one.
The way a destination ends up on this list is that it's had enough people show up to increase the odds that it has some sense of what travelers like, ...10 of the 53 places to go in 2008
Dec 28th, 2007 at 12:00PM: I already mentioned Detroit as being number 40 on the list of the New York Times places to go in 2008. Sad to say, I have only been to the airport in Detroit. After posting about this city, I agree that the capital of the automobile and Motown is indeed a place to see this year.
Places to go lists such as the New York Times version can either make a person feel as depressed as hell that one can't ...California fires close parks and other attractions
Oct 24th, 2007 at 9:30AM: If you've got a trip planned to Southern California this weekend, it might be a good idea to reschedule. Besides the current poor air quality and the fact that you might need to outrun a wildfire, many attractions and amusement parks have shut down until the smoke clears. SeaWorld, Legoland, and the San Diego Wild Animal Park are all closed (although the San Diego Zoo remains open). Broadway San ...Skybus to Cut Flights and Add More
Oct 16th, 2007 at 11:15AM: Rats! Be still my heart. I just heard that Skybus is canceling its Columbus to Bellingham flights starting in the spring.
I wrote that line last Thursday after I heard it on one of my local news stations, but I couldn't get a confirmation if this was indeed fact. Skybus wasn't talking on their website and whatever I did find, was a vague might. Today, it's official. My husband even called me ...Reasons to Love San Diego
Aug 6th, 2007 at 1:35PM: It's hard to read this list of reasons to love San Diego from Budget Travel without picturing Ron Burgundy pointing at you and saying, "Stay classy San Diego". Or maybe that's just me. It's not that I'm NOT a big fan of California's southern most city. I actually lived there and taught windsurfing a loooong time ago on Mission bay. But taking a look at this list, I realized how much the city has ...U.S. Cities With the Worst Traffic Are ...
Jun 14th, 2007 at 1:27PM: The U.S. Department of Transportation has recently announced nine of the most congested U.S. cities which are in the running to obtain federal traffic-fighting aid. Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Miami, New York City, San Diego, San Francisco, and Seattle where the nine semifinalists, with a "winner" set to be announced in August. The winning city will receive $1.1 billion in ...USA Today on San Diego
Dec 16th, 2006 at 9:34AM: San Diego - I've only been there twice. Once when I was 8 years-old on a family vacation to see Shamu at Sea World and the only memorable moment of the entire trip was my crying at the bottom of a speed boat when my father let me 6 year-old brother take control of the steering. I thought I was going to die that day in San Diego. The second time was several years later and I had taken a quick day ...
