After our flight from Hyderabad, we headed to the Etihad Business Class Lounge for a quick breakfast (we slept through the flight). The lounge was located not far from the security check point and we were promptly admitted upon presenting our boarding passes. Disclaimer: Lately Etihad has made significant cuts …
After my Norwegian Fjord Cruise, I was eager to explore the town of Kaupanger and the Northwestern region of Norway. However, jet lag began to creep in and my family started falling asleep one after the other. Figuring that it wasn’t safe to be driving through tunnels with a car …
Our SilkAir flight to Hyderabad left from Terminal 1 at Changi Airport so we had to leave the lounge a bit early to make the trek there (you have to take the skytrain). The walk itself isn’t bad at all, but there was a huge line near the gate for …

After picking up our bags, we hopped in a cab for our half hour ride to the Westin Melbourne. It was an altogether unremarkable ride and quite frankly I don’t quite remember it at all because I fell asleep as soon as I got in. I believe the ride cost …
With all the drama going on with the Kavanaugh nomination, it’s easy to miss a major law that has unanimously passed Congress two weeks ago and has now been signed into law by the President: the “The FAA Re-authorization Bill.” The bill brings about some well needed changes within the …
