Packed and ready to be a winner at Biggest Loser
Again, let me clarify: I’m not going to be on the show. I’m going to a resort in L.A. affiliated with the TV show. As Mitch pointed out, took me until age 58 to make it to summer camp. In … Continue reading
Moral of frequent-flier story: Save that boarding pass
I said I’d follow up with the results of a query to US Airways. It had to do with some potential frequent-flier miles from my recent round-the-world trip. The miles in question were flown from on Qatar Airways from South … Continue reading
Don’t get tripped up by huge wireless charges abroad
This is the kind of info I found out about minutes before I started my round-the-world trip. I’m not kidding. I was on the phone with AT&T at the gate at JFK, checking on the options for my wireless phone … Continue reading

Let’s Paws: How a pet perceives months apart
The moment my dachshund, Ginger, saw me after I’d been away for almost three months, bam! On back, anticipating endless belly rub. Making up for so much lost time.
Me and my carry-on: bedraggled but great as RTW trip ends
In the olden days (as in, when I was a kid), the end of an American space mission would be marked by a splashdown. The spacecraft would parachute into the ocean and the astronauts would emerge, looking dazed but thrilled … Continue reading
RTW: Favorite places to people-watch in LA
Not surprisingly, my favorite places to people-watch in LA are a little more low-key than the usual. And all involve food. Natch. To get to LA’s real roots — not the bleached ones, I like Olvera Street. Yeah, it’s a … Continue reading
RTW, LA: No beef with an animal-rights conference
I had just been given the key to my luxury yacht and should have kicked back and enjoyed myself. It would have been the first time in my two-month global marathon that I actually relaxed. But something was nagging at … Continue reading
RTW, LA: You, too, can rent a luxury yacht
