Airlines charging for extra bags… don’t even think of bringing a third bag!
Me 22 Apr 2008 | : Airlines, Travel News
According to the New York Times, Delta, Continental, United, Northwest, and US Airways are just about ready to charge people for bringing more than one bag on a flight. Second bags are going to cost $25 and third bags will be a whopping $100! As if airports weren’t already slow and chaotic, now people are going to be complaining more than ever about their flights. Relatively speaking, flying is still somewhat cheap between many North American cities but adding another $100 to the tab is quite a jump. We’ll see how long this lasts once it’s set in place.
Battlestar Galactica Season 4 Episode 2

The peculiar thing about this post is that it’s focused on this episode. Yes, I know, it’s pretty random but let’s face it, Battlestar Galactica is one of the ultimate travel shows! It’s up there with Star Trek, especially ST: The Next Generation as a show that will be remembered for a long time, but also as giving viewers a unique look at what life in space could be like.
Anyways, the character development and intensity of the show is incredible. Everyone is guilty of something and it shows human and non-human “toaster” flaws. This particular episode was of interest because of the interesting turn of events we see on board a cylon basestar. The centurions shooting several cylon models… gotta love that!
If you haven’t been watching BSG, you’re missing out. Yes, it’s sci-fi but it’s also a very well written drama. It also features some hot talents!
Supermodel Naomi Campbell Banned from British Airways

According to a story published by the BBC, International supermodel Naomi Cambell was banned from flying on British Airways flights after assaulting a police officer. Her VIP status didn’t help her get out of it and it’s an impressive move by BA since high profile celebrities tend to get away with just about everything. It turns out Naomi has a history of anger management issues as evidenced by a previous court appearance regarding a scuffle with her housekeeper.
A bit of everything, ya know?
I started it in 2006, did a bit in 2007, but now it’s finally time to get moving (no pun intended!). I’ve been meaning to do this for a long time and it’s finally time. The early days of this blog were creative and to some extent useful and interesting with a focus on travel. The goal in this new wave is now to expand to different topics, many on travel but some on other areas of our lives. So that’s where we’re at… a little bit of everything, ya know?
