Hope everyone had a happy Turkey Day! If you watched the Macy’s parade yesterday, be sure to check out Jamie’s post where she got the inside scoop from a balloon handler’s perspective. And of the many things I was thankful for his Thanksgiving, one of them was that I didn’t have to fly this holiday. I’m wondering if the extra airspace Prez Bush opened over the Eastern corridor eased air traffic at all; we’ll find out soon, I’m sure.
Also this week:
-
Neil told us how to buy goods that have been confiscated by the TSA. If anyone finds a deal on my confiscated Aveda shampoo, let me know.
-
Jamie gave us the good news that skiing opened early in Vermont this year. Especially considering there’s still no skiing in South-central Alaska, that’s great news for North-easterners. Think snow!
-
Martha discovered that even though Michelin’s stars are usually concentrated in the Western world, this year Tokyo has snagged the highest number.
-
Leif boasted of his super-heroic battery-whispering (and killing) ways. If you travel with lots of gadgets, check out his post.
-
Finally, Grant produced a guide to getting better airplane seats. If you’re traveling over the holidays, read his guide, score a sweet seat, and stretch out those legs!
Happy Friday! And if you celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday, happy digesting!
