Comment on The Frequent Flyer Tool We’ve All Been Waiting For! by Scott

Very cool tool it sounds like. Another one I’ve found is MySeatFinder (http://www.myseatfinder.com), which basically uses your frequent flyer account to upgrade you to better available seats. So if you’re stuck in a back row middle and an aisle seat becomes available, it automatically books it for you. It does this based on self-selected preferences of where you’d prefer to sit.

Comment on Newport RI – Come Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day & Irish Heritage Month by Paul

Great article!

You’re right, this is a great time of year to visit the “City by the Sea”. There aren’t any crowds, the deals are better and you can take your time enjoying all the attractions.

I haven’t been in years, but I have many great memories of the crazy times I’ve had at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. I grew up in the 5th Ward, in the heart of the Irish district (Thames Street and Morton Avenue) and only had to walk outside my door to be right in the middle of all the action.

If you missed the Winter Fest in February, be sure and catch all the great March events.

Use the room service and order food the night before your excursion. Bring zip locks with you or even a couple of Tupperware containers.

Then, you get your food delivered you store it in the mini bar (you can get them to clear it out).

Come excursion day, load up your bags with your snacks on land…avoiding either iffy food stops, or just having to pay at all on land!

Also, use waterbottles to fill up on the free juice dispensers onboard!

The tallest snowman was constructed in 1999 at the height of 113 feet, 7 inches.
In 2008 they constructed the tallest snow-woman at 122 feet, 1 inch.
That’s a lot of snow!!

Comment on How To Fly Without Interruptions by Susan

Thanks for this post! Might be of great help, in my case, I go with one carry-on, make sure it’s a little smaller than the minimum size, bring my own food and drink onto the plane, bring at least one good book if not two, eat in the airport before the flight, and get to the airport a little early. I’ve never had to check a bag, and I’ve never had missing or damaged luggage. I’ve never been bored during flight delays. I’ve never been hungry or thirsty on flights. A little preparation goes a long way.

This is so divine! I have been there and I always wanted to come back in that marvelous place from time to time. We have different time line, so every time I enter a new time zone, I should plan on one day to adjust to the difference.
