Vacation

This week, our GM Lisa Janes, sounds out on Summer Vacations....what they were.... and what they are now.  Take a listen!

This news ought to do little to renew your faith in airport security systems. On Tuesday, a man boarded a plane in San Diego without a ticket. Even worse, he was just released from jail a day earlier.

Pretty much everyone knows by now that the US has a real obesity problem — even aircraft manufacturers like Airbus. In response, the company is now offering airlines the option to equip its new planes with extra-wide seats.

Buying airfare shouldn’t be as complex as trying to handicap a race horse, but the truth is sometimes it’s trickier.

There is something making people sick and twisted deep in the woods of Russia. Strangely enough that something is one of the most bizarre amusement park rides we have ever seen.

Their video says it best. “Are you attractive, but don’t have the money to travel?” How many of us have wrestled with this issue? Well, our prayers our answered (PRAISE TRAVEL JESUS!) because MissTravel.com connects generous male travelers who “hate to travel alone” with attractive companions who are willing to go on free trips.

Last year, airlines in the US posted their highest profits in more than a decade — but all that money sure didn’t buy a lot of customer satisfaction.

"Dad, don't forget I have baseball practice at 7.  Mom says she can take me but then she has to go get Craig at the church, so be sure you hurry to the ballpark to watch me."  This was just one of the 15 calls or texts I got yesterday alone.  In case...

The cruise vacation industry hasn’t exactly had the most stellar year. Thanks to the recent sinking of the Costa Concordia, vacationers are fleeing from cruises like a rat diving off a sinking ship (but enough about the captain). The trick to giving yourself any good vacation is knowing what you’re getting into, so if any of these tell-tale signs pop-up, then it’s time to abandon ship.

Just took a few days off and my wife and I made a trip to Las Vegas. She'd never been there before and after the flight there, I didn't think she'd ever go back.  Somebody had a couple children on the plane who were just little tyrants.

In the Arabian Sea, the Italian coast guard is reporting that the Costa Allegra, an Italian cruise ship, is adrift near the Seychelles islands after a fire broke out and caused the motors to stop working. They say the passengers are safe, but the ship cannot travel anywhere.
