      I have been reinforcing my decision to never again fly in an airplane.

      It's an interesting dynamic to watch people. Both crowding the gate knowing their boarding group is 10 minutes from being called and standing up/blocking aisles when it's not there turn to move. We chose bulk head seats for each leg of our last flight so we were easy on/easy off for the most...

      I have been reinforcing my decision to never again fly in an airplane.

      I vary. If I'm going to take a handgun, obviously I have to check a bag. If not, it's carry on only with very rare exception. Not because it's that much of a PITA to check the bag, but largely because it's a real time saver to not wait for the baggage to come back out if it's a bigger...

      I have been reinforcing my decision to never again fly in an airplane.

      I'd probably like it less if it was a job. As you say, it's a hobby for me, so I enjoy near complete flexibility. Since I don't have to be any particular place at any particular time, I can (often) avoid airports I know suck, times I know are peak travel times, etc. I can choose flights with...

      Tips for cheap travel abroad

      For anyone who's interested in Portugal, TAP has tickets in early December in the $300-$320 range for round trip from Chicago on certain dates. Premium economy is $1000 on the same dates. TAP doesn't fly every day, so look at the calendar. Direct flight ORD -> Lisbon. Premium economy on TAP...

      Portugal travel log

      I survived another round of the flying death tubes and have returned from my second trip to Portugal. This time was: Lisbon->Porto->Aveiro->Coimbra->Lisbon via train. In total, we were there for 10 full days plus two travel days. Cost: Cash wise, this trip was pretty inexpensive. I used...

      Portugal travel log

      Been back in Portugal for a bit now. Porto is an awesome city to just walk around and explore with no real destination in mind. Just had one of the best meals of my life, complete with a very nice stout beer and a sangria for my wife for 45 Euro. Not quite $49. Porto is cheaper than the...

      The Czickness LII….it is the grey time of year. Tungsten Grey that is…

      I'm fine, thanks for asking. Just busy and my internet time is reduced and forum time more so, which is likely to continue until at least May or so. I was out in New Mexico/Texas to participate in the Bataan Memorial and then do some other hiking/exploring. Thread here...

      35th annual Bataan Memorial Death March

      I just returned from a trip to participate in the 35th annual Bataan Memorial Death March. Some of you may remember I flew out in 2020 to try to complete it, but they cancelled the event the day I flew due to COVID and all the uncertainty of that time. Unfortunately, the last US survivor has...

      ND at Top Golf

      Top Golf is more adult Chuck-E-Cheese than actual golf. Think of it as a sports bar with an arcade/driving range and you've got the idea.

      Wayne LaPierre Resigns

      So they why when someone argues it's not likely you revert to you're merely arguing it's possible? Do you not know the difference or do you assume we don't, since you're questioning other member's literacy skills? Especially after purposefully misstating other people's posts? No, you're just...
