Honestly – how many times have you sat in your seat on the aircraft totally ignoring the flight attendant as she runs through the usual instructions for how to fasten (and loosen) your seat… Continue reading Have we forgotten how to travel?

Up your game Karen!
Don’t you love it how sports sayings and expressions have made their way into our general conversation. I honestly don’t understand the game of baseball (it wasn’t exactly popular in South Africa) but yes, I use the expression “touch base” with gay abandon. Honestly, I still really don’t know what it means from a baseball… Continue reading Up your game Karen!
From one bag to another
Last week I went down to my basement to check on something. I don’t go down there often – to be honest it is a bit of a mess. I totally forgot what I was looking for because there I saw my travel collection of bags. Small carryon with wheels for just an overnight trip,… Continue reading From one bag to another

Airport etiquette and strange sights
Honestly, airports bring out the worst in me.

My pet peeves – Checking the arrivals / departures board – Don’t stand right in front of the board so that nobody… Continue reading Airport etiquette and strange sights
Would you like bugs with that?
Bugs can be a deal-breaker. Just as you have that tropical package all sewn up and ready to go THAT question jumps up. “Er, do you think there will be bugs there?”. Well, it’s Costa Rica. Pretty good chance of there being bugs. Same thing in Belize, or Mexico or Africa. Bugs kinda like hanging… Continue reading Would you like bugs with that?
