Disappointing to still get these news headlines.

One Week: Los Cabos, Mexico Sun-soaked and proudly welcoming, Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo—together known as Los Cabos—offers a mix of beach relaxation, fresh seafood, and vibrant coastal culture. I’ve found Cabo to b…

Had a great week in Cabo with family. Wrapped up the holiday with a fresh round of updates for all my travel tips. upperlefttraveler.com/2023/12/02/l...

Thankful for Mexican surf and sun this thanksgiving. #cabo

If Dallas’ DART transit system doesn’t use the Thanksgiving traffic debacle at @dfwairport.bsky.social to promote ridership, I can’t imagine a worse missed opportunity

The internet is giving me life today. ❤️

Yesterday was a beautiful day for a walk to admire the changing leaves. Today? Back to Portland rain.

Weird that Alaska Airlines would launch sales of their new SEA-FCO route online without sending as much as a emailed peep to AS frequent flyers or folks who signed up for notifications. But it’s now in their online newsroom and landing page. Can’t figure the comms strategy there…

Madonna’s album “Confessions on a Dance Floor” was released 20 years ago this week … not Like a Virgin. Or Erotica. Or Ray of Light.
Wild.

SCOTUS rejected a bid by former Kentucky county official Kim Davis to overturn its landmark 2015 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide. Davis was ordered to pay more than $360,000 in damages for refusing to issue marriage licenses to a gay couple reut.rs/4oyrQ5J

Kinda bummed to read the news of Marriott and Sonder calling their partnership quits. In Seattle and Vancouver especially, the Sonder properties are such great locations www.reuters.com/business/mar...

The Republicans are going all the way to the Supreme Court to starve hungry children but please tell me again how the shutdown is the fault of the Democrats.

Flashback Friday to Palm Springs Pride

Catching flights, not feelings (again)

Love Flighty App’s holiday humor (we were aboard AS 353, FWIW) #iflyalaska

Reminder: November 4th is extremely important, don’t forget to vote!

It’s the season for: is it portland or is it Halloween?

Gotta say: @centurylink.bsky.social customer service might be worse than @xfinityx.bsky.social
Internet out on Saturday, and the best CenturyLink can do is refer me to their M-F tech support 800 number. Wtf?! 🤦

Departing ATL is a way better view than inside the airport…

3. “Open with your foot” is cool … unless there’s a latch that requires you to run the handle anyhow. 🤦🏻‍♂️

2. Architects and designers clearly put no effort into bathroom design. The ATL admirals lounge for instance: paper towels no where near the closest sink. So basically, everyone’s wet hands are going to drip all over the room.

Airport rants: a thread from the Admiral’s Lounge at ATL.
1: people who claim a service dog that isn’t really one are a special brand of assh*le. There’s a couple here with a dog nowhere near well trained to be a service animal.

The ‘maters 🍅 are pretty much tapped out in the garden, but excited about my fall greens 🥬 coming in!

A little A330neo #wingtipwednesday distraction from the rest of the world’s chaos. FRA-YVR last Sunday.

Happy #twosday! I’m wishing I were still at #oktoberfest instead of working, but alas, those vacation bills aren’t paying themselves.

Prost! 🍻

So, the woman in the row ahead of me on today’s flight is bragging about her Tucker Carlson fetish and throwing shade at the guys hair next to her (not like hers is natural, but I digress). How should I troll her for the next 2 hours?
