No Kids, Will Travel
Airline Roundup
Have you ever looked at the Lufthansa logo and wondered, where did that come from? I get that it’s a bird and birds fly, but other than that what is it? Well, we recently found that out while pursuing the airline media sites and it’s an interesting story. The golden bird on the tail section […]
An Ocean-Going Viking is Nothing to Fear
Viking Cruises are best known for their leisurely river cruises that cater to a more leisurely crowd (and not necessarily the target audience of this blog). But the small river boat company is making some big waves in the cruise business with some much bigger boats. The Viking Sea, the second in a new class […]
How to Choose a Date for Easter
We’ve been telling you all about Greek Orthodox Easter for the last four years, and this year will be no different. If you’re new to our blog you might be asking, “Easter? Wasn’t Easter a couple of weeks ago?” The answer is both yes and no. Easter is celebrated on different dates depending on whether […]
We’re Just Window Shopping, Right?
We know it hasn’t been that long since we’ve written about sailing, but it is one of the things we love so it gets a lot of column inches. The best part of a town like Annapolis, MD is that it has more than one boat show per year. The shows aren’t small filler shows, […]
Is This Heaven? No, it’s Pittsburgh’s Bicycle Heaven
I stumbled across a unique spot in Pittsburgh the other day my attempts to unload some 1970s era bicycles. I imagined that it was going to be easy. I was going to go down to a bike shop about a mile from our apartment and drop them off where they would be recycled for parts […]
The Old History of an Old America
I love history and warm places, hence my love of Greece, Italy and Egypt. But did you know we have a 450 year old city in the United States? A city founded as the renaissance in Europe was only 60 years old. Amazing, right? The city of St. Augustine, Florida is just south of Jacksonville […]
Come Fly With Me…
I don’t think anyone said it better than Sinatra. If anyone’s voice evokes a sense of the golden age of air travel it’s Old Blue Eyes. I’m not just limiting that feeling of nostalgia to one song, either. Sinatra recorded an entire album of songs dedicated to travel (and associated pursuits like finding some exotic […]
Maryland Day!
I make no apology for wearing my Maryland pride on my sleeve. Our flag is the prettiest state flag, after all. I point out that we my live somewhere else but we’re from Maryland, that our state is progressive but is still tied to its farming roots. We might even point out that the pilgrims of Mayflower […]
A Burger Worth Waiting For…
Amanda has been waiting for this moment for months, ever since winter set in here in the Allegheny Mountains (and no it’s not spring). Well, spring is one of them, but the other is a day that’s warm enough for an evening walk to Market Square in Pittsburgh and the best burgers the Steel City […]
News in the Air
Lufthansa Links You to Your Bag One of my favorite airlines just got better by finally giving me the same ability to track my bag that we expect from our latest shipment of shoes from Zappos. Lufthansa has officially unveiled its digital luggage service. You can now use the Lufthansa app on your mobile device […]
