I took a few days off from blogging, though not totally voluntarily. Hurricane Sandy has affected millions of people, me included. Our family has a house on the Jersey Shore and my father has been up there trying to figure out if it’s okay. …
I guess it may be a good thing I’m not in charge of American Airlines. If I ran the airline and a judge had already told me that I could void the pilots contracts, I don’t think I’d be back at the bargaining table…
I had just started detailing a post on what to do if you were stuck traveling through the hurricane when I saw this post courtesy of View From The Wing. If you scroll down past the electric stuff, you’ll find Gary has already put…

I’m quoted in this month’s Travel & Leisure magazine talking about Global Entry. I’ve talked in the past about how much of a fan I am. I’m also a huge fan of TSA Pre-Check. Most people don’t know it, but you can have access…
