If a picture is worth a thousand words, then prepare yourself for about 10,000 words of what could possibly be the coolest place in the state to escape during the long, hot days of an Arizona summer. I am referring, of course, to the Arizona Grand Resort, located at 8000 Arizona Grand Parkway in Phoenix, Arizona.

Re-entry into UAE / Dubai Fine for Americans and 34 Other Exempt Countries
If you have ever wanted to go to Dubai or anywhere else inside the United Arab Emirates and read recently about the new “no re-entry into the UAE in under 30 days” law that is going around you are probably thinking like I was: “Well, screw that trip…”.
As it turns out, this law firstly seems [...]
American Airlines Adding WiFi to All Domestic Flights
For all the business travelers out there, your life just got a little less sucky — assuming you use American Airlines for your domestic flights.
American Airlines has been trialing the in-flight WiFi service for 6-months on a few select flights and has decided to OK the rollout to it’s entire fleet. The price for the [...]
Visualization of the World's Air Traffic – Unbelievable
This comes in courtesy of Robert Heron. It’s a fascinating animation of the world’s air-traffic. I cannot believe how much air traffic takes place over the US and during any given day, I don’t think I really ever see an airplane in the sky or hear one.
New Zealand: Day 1 – The Sky Jump and Facing Fears
Another blog entry from our trip to New Zealand… perfect fare for a tech blog right? Here I will make it techie: Internet access is expensive here and not as many places as you would find it in the US.
Ok enough about that, we landed at 6am in Auckland after our surprising comfortable 13hr flight [...]
Kelty Redwing 2650 Traveling Backpack Review
My wife and I are preparing to leave on a 2-week excursion to New Zealand (the North Island) as well as Bora Bora and after hitting up London with friends blow-out-style in a 36hrs crazy trip, we got addicted to travelling light.
The amount of stress that melts off your back when you only have 1 [...]
Jedi Mind Tricks 101: You Will Give Me a Free Cruise…
I am a cruise travel agent. I spend all day every day telling people to go on cruises, and which ones to go on. As such, I am a pretty darn valuable asset to a cruise line. I’m also the type of person that if I’m not happy, you’re not happy (aka Only Child).
In high [...]
Microsoft Farecast Predicts Ticket Prices for Best Price
Todd Swarthout sent in a link to a pretty cool new site from Microsoft: Farecast.
The idea behind Farecast is very similar to Kayak or Mobissimo where you specify your departure and arrival city and then use all these nice AJAX-ey controls to fine-tune your search results on the fly.
The difference with Farecast is that it [...]
Airbus A380 Gets Bunk Beds
Thank god this is finally getting done. Looks like the Airbus A380 is going to get triple-decker bunk beds for folks that want to sleep while they fly. Hopefully this is a trend to replace all seating with bunk beds, which will only make travelling easier and easier for folks, helping to compensate for the [...]
Change your Southwest Airlines boarding pass from B/C to A
Great tip. Not sure if this is legal, probably not but I also doubt there is anything in the agreement before hand that states this is illegal. The gist of the idea is to get to the end of the process where you print your boarding pass online, and to replace the “B” or “C” [...]
