Sometimes flying standby means you get to the airport an hour before your flight, and jump on when it’s time to board. But usually, it means waiting around for hours and hours until you finally hear your name and don’t know how to react because you're positive you are hallucinating from being out in the airport desert without a...

We did not want to miss the Bullet Train on our trip to Japan! Even though I get awesome airline rates as an airline employee, we were willing to forgo this luxury to ride the bullet train both times we traveled from major metropolis to major metropolis. The first time we rode the Bullet Train was from Hiroshima to...

What happens when the highest paid actor in the world, worth $225 million dollars, who typically plays roles as America’s hero, none other than Mark Wahlberg, serves your kid raw chicken at his mediocre restaurant at Boston Logan International Airport, BOS? He doesn’t give you a refund, that’s what. That extra $30 is going to bump him off the...

Our family trip to Norway was one of those standby adventures gone wrong, but one we probably should have known better to anticipate. I was stressed for weeks leading up to this vacation. We had three flights to take after disembarking the Disney Wonder cruise ship, and making our way to our Christmas destination in Norway. That meant three...

Renting a car in Costa Rica is the biggest hassle, and the biggest expense (excuse my superlatives) of anywhere in the world, but if you don't get a car you will regret it. Exploring the countryside at your own pace, and at your own leisure affords you an experience of a lifetime. We happened upon rice terraces, banana and...
JR, JR Rail Pass, Metro, Subway, Japan, Diapers on a plane, DiapersONAPLANE, traveling with kids, family travel, rush hour japan
The JR trains, or Japan Railway East Company, in Japan are incredible. The network of trains that go in every direction, crisscrossing and weaving with the utmost fluidity, are remarkable. Take the opportunity to walk around the city, and take an elevated crosswalk that crosses above them. You’ll see upwards of 10 lines working their magic. (Even if it...

Icelandair (ICE) is a cool airline. That’s not meant to be a pun. They aren’t cool because their code is ICE or because they fly to cold weather destinations, they are cool because they offer a stopover connection with a stopover buddy for free! Whether you are flying to the US from Europe, or to Europe from the US,...

All things considered, during our eight day trip in Norway we actually spent a majority of our time at the Oslo Airport, OSL. Three of those eight days were spent at the Oslo Gardermoen Airport in fact. We had zero success getting on a flight to Tromsø for Christmas, and we had zero success getting on a flight out of...

Should You Rent a Car in Mexico? The answer is unequivocally yes! You will absolutely waste half a day in Mexico, starve your body of the required nutrients to survive in the process, sweat out your life force, and figuratively tear off the head of anyone who comes into your vicinity. But when the car rental process is over...

Should you Drive in Mexico? The answer is unequivocally yes! Just like you should definitely Rent a Car in Mexico, (see Part 1), you should absolutely explore Mexico outside of the tourist zones of Cancun and Playa del Carmen. You may have to take your nerves to the gym to pump some iron in advance, because driving in Mexico can...
