Go Inter-modal, Young Man… For almost as long as I can remember, I’ve really had an interest in one mode of transportation being carried by another. For example, cars and boats being moved by rail or by semi-truck…ships hauling containers that are placed onto a train at port, and later onto a truck….car ferries…cargo airplanes…
The Famous Cliffs A visit to County Clare in Ireland wouldn’t be complete without trekking to the Cliffs of Moher. I don’t know that I have any profound words to say about this incredible geological feature, that haven’t already been spoken. We spent a good part of the day walking about the trails and climbing…
Another installment in our Ireland trip from last Spring (2013)… Our Aer Lingus flight from Boston Logan Airport (BOS) to Shannon, Ireland (SNN) was short – barely 5 1/2 hours. On the one hand, it was nice to arrive swiftly (well, not counting the time we spent connecting from Dayton to Boston); but on the…
Part 1: http://newlatidude.com/2014/01/05/treasures-in-waterford-ireland-part-1/ Waterford Medieval Museum Conveniently located right beside the Bishop’s Palace is the Medieval Museum, which first opened in August 2012. Our visit was shortly after the formal grand opening in March 2013, so it was a unique day in that we experienced both the “new carpet smell” and antiques from the Middle…

One stop along the way was in Waterford, located in the southeast of Ireland in Munster province. The oldest and fifth-largest city in the country, many are familiar with the…
As has become our tradition, we took a trip over Thanksgiving week. This year we visited the vacation home that my parents recently purchased in Port Charlotte, FL. For the last two days of our getaway, we traveled to Legoland, Florida, located on the grounds of the old Cypress Gardens. About halfway between Tampa and…
We ventured out to Pere Lachaise Cemetery one slightly drizzly morning. Many Americans are most familiar with Jim Morrison of The Doors being buried there. And we certainly did make the effort to find his grave. I was always a fan of their music and didn’t get a chance to come here during my high…
Valid Photo ID? Continuing on the humor theme for this fine Saturday, Lucky at the One Mile At a Time miles & points blog, posted this recent observation!
Like all of Key & Peele’s stuff, this is hilarious. Who doesn’t love “the pit of the doughnut” or the “fapoon”? Breakfast while on the road can be a lot of fun, or not so much, depending on your breakfast preferences. I’m not one to skip breakfast, so I need to have something before…
How many miles have you flown in your lifetime? Which airline or aircraft type have you been on the most? Have you flown enough miles to have reached the moon or the sun? Answers to these and other fun trivia are part of what makes http://www.FlightMemory.com so much fun, at least for me! They offer a…
