Don’t know why, but the flight out to Rome just seemed to take forever and ever. Couple that feeling with a slew of airport mix-ups (stroller lost; driver gave up; phone just wouldn’t work) that by the time we reached our hotel we were beat. But of course, […]
No matter what time of day you are traveling it is a cocktail hour somewhere. Flying is the great equalizer-or should be when it comes to cocktail drinking etiquette. Meaning, people shouldn’t pass judgment on the beverage of choice of their fellow passengers when the flight attendant passes […]
