I went into the trip not really wanting to visit the Canal. It just seemed to cliche and too many people only think of the canal when they think of tourism in Panama. I wanted to help show a different side of the city and country to let people know there is more to do…
Weekly Recap: August 19/26
In my excitement for traveling for fun instead of work I never scheduled my post for last week so here’s a double-up August 19th: an unintentional segment run week. Monday: I flew CLT-DTW-AZO. I was working hard on the Marriott Megabonus so I stayed at the Fairfield Inn while my coworker stayed at the FourPoints…

Days 2-3 disconnecting
The past 2 days I have been at Playa Blanca in Panama. It is an all-inclusive resort about 2 hours away from Panama City on the Pacific. The hotel isn’t a hotel I would have chosen on my own, but it is an OK venue. The resort has 2 pools, one with a swim up…
Day one: surviving transit

Social ride sharing: Coming soon to Charlotte!
One of the drawbacks of living in a city that is big, but not really world class is that we are often one of the last big cities to get something. Case in point, social ride sharing. What is social ride sharing? At face value it is similar to a taxi service. There is a…
PIT: My biggest fear for CLT
Today I flew into PIT and all I can think of is what PIT used to be and what could happen to CLT at any time. This link from Wikipedia sums up what happened to PIT at the hands of the airport and US Airways. My personal experience with PIT: I started traveling for business…
New use for Windows Phones: Delta BoB
http://conversations.nokia.com/2013/08/22/nokia-lumia-820-flying-high-with-delta-airlines/ Interesting. I’d debating about whether to upgrade phones or not and the Windows phones seem interesting, but not on my list. Whether it is a way to suck up to Microsoft to build SEA or whether Dynamics is really running a better product than the previous product is not something that I am…
