I saw this sign when I got back to Dulles airport in the B concourse. As a foodie and a student of the restaurant industry as a whole, Starbucks has offered a wealth of case study. Now, they’ve started branching out past coffee, mints,…
There’s been plenty of press over the last few months about possible progress between the pilot’s union and American Airlines. At times the pilots have seemed delusional but recent reports seemed to indicate things were moving closer. Oddly, it seems we may be all…
The first domestic US commercial flight of the 787 Dreamliner happened this week, and Mommy Points was along for the ride. Other than her “Dreamy” pun it’s a solid read about a memorable day in air travel. 😀 I had a great experience on…

I haven’t been traveling to Las Vegas as often as I used to, which has lead to a serious dent in my poker playing. Along with a brief stop at the Palazzo a few weeks ago, I also had a chance to walk through…
