Memories of jetBlue, February 2007
Ah, the jetBlue Valentine’s Day debacle of 2007. Such memories. As one of those lucky enough to be a bit-player in this particular drama, it never ceases to amaze me that the airline survived at all.
Let me take you through it, just for fun. Lest we forget.
The snowstorm hit the north-eastern seaboard on a Tuesday night. The following day, I was due to fly home to New York City from a company conference in Florida, along with dozens of colleagues.

This is a trip report about India. My husband and I just returned from a month trip to Rajasthan and loved every minute of it. It was our dream to be there at least once but finally we found this country so different and interesting to come back again some time.
I did a search for our trip via the internet and came up with a variety of in-country travel specialists. After reading all info and checking prices etc, decided to go with Mr. Raju www.rajuindia.com and so glad that I did.

No CommentsWhy you do or dont really need a travel agent – Part 16
Over the years i have stuck to the traditional way of booking holidays Travel Agents
The thing about travel agents is finding time going there, then lugging home loads of brochures to look through then finding more time to go back and book your holiday. You now can book your holidays online with most Travel agents nowadays.
Travel agents charge a lot more for the same holidays and charge silly prices for the insurance aswell.
I have booked many flights & hotels over the last couple of years saving me Hundreds
maybe Thousands of Pounds just by sitting in front of my pc.
I will find any holiday cheaper than a Travel Agent.
Tell me were you want to go:

No CommentsTraveling by bus – Part 23
Day off today. Let’s take a Lucky Dip on the buses. To the uninitiated, this involves popping down to the bus stop and jumping on the fist bus to turn up irrespective of it’s destination.
First along is the 710 destined for the town of Hastings.
Most people assume that the battle of Hastings took place here. Wrong. It happened in 1066 a few miles inland in a field . The town which grew up as a result of the famous event is now called Battle.
Anyway, I’m rambling. Hastings is a somewhat – how shall I put it?- depressed town. Actually that’s not entirely fair as considerable strides have been made to improve the place. You know the kind of Read the rest of this entry »
