Free companion ticket?!
Posted Sep. 30, 2009BA is currently running a promotion where they offer a free companion ticket for the next time you fly when you buy a ticket before January 29. I guess the trick is that you may not be able to SIT with your companion...

On my birthday list!
Posted Sep. 23, 2009This sounds PERFECT-- thanks for the inspiration. It's time to dump the lumpy ripstop duffel and pick up one of these.

David Byrne
Posted Aug. 07, 2009I love DB's online journal and he just had a great post about while touring with his band. His reaction, like yours, is excitement about what's next: He... more

You saw a wolf!
Posted Jul. 28, 2009What an amazing two-day trip--this sounds like a great way to feel as though you've taken whole vacation on a long weekend. Great story.

Porto wine tasting
Posted Jul. 27, 2009We enjoyed an unexpectedly private tour and afternoon port tasting at the Taylor-Fladgate port house in Porto, just by virtue of the off-season. The tour was fascinating and covered the history and culture of port and then we were led into a room... more

I know a secret
Posted Jul. 24, 2009One addictive element of the juicy, delicious Black Iron burger is SALT. So salty. So yummy. Also, at lunch, it's definitely a neighborhood place, not a scene, just a mix of late-rising neighborhood 20-somethings and people from local shops an... more

Cool pool and booking suggestion
Posted Jul. 23, 2009Unbelievable, perhaps, but we had a hard time convincing our 7- and 9-year-olds to leave the Polynesian's pool and go to the Magic Kingdom. The zero-entry main pool has a thrilling waterslide through a fake volcano (seriously fun--I squealed the ... more

Strictly takeout
Posted Jul. 20, 2009Don't count on getting a place to sit at this tiny (but DEFINITELY worth a visit) shop--the only perches are in the front window and they're usually occupied. Do remember to snag some napkins with your bag of sticky Valhrona, pistachio, churro, o... more

When to visit Galicia
Posted Jul. 17, 2009Winter! Counterintuitive, yes, but the weather's more consistently clear than summer and you'll see the local culture and arts scene without the tourist-trade influence. Don't make our mistake, though, and assume that since it's off-season, a we... More

"Obscure" don't miss in Lisbon
Posted Jul. 17, 2009The camera obscura set up in the Castelo de Sao Jorge casts this already surreally beautiful and offbeat city in a perfect light. When we were there last, it was hardly promoted as an attraction at the castle and manned by two blase art students,... More
