I've heard plenty of horror stories about riding the Chinatown buses. From smelly toilets to breakdowns to firey bus crashes to general unreliability, I was extremely skeptical and cautious in taking my very first trip this year.
The trip up to Boston on Saturday morning was a joy. I had an ...

On my way to Kansas last week, I had a layover at the Milwaukee Airport. I've never been to Wisconsin before, and I don't really intend on going there again anytime soon, so I needed to do something to prove that I had been to Wisconsin.
So I went to the ...

It's amazing how a religion can literally run the government of Utah. Where it shines through the most, however, is in its drinking laws.
When I stepped off the plane, the first thing I saw was a giant stack of kegs on a hand truck. I got all excited. "Wow," I ...

10:30pm-10:30am was a pretty wide window, but Delta managed to deliver it almost smack dab in the middle of that window.

I had no idea that luggage delivery was like waiting for the cable guy.
Great! A twelve-hour window.
How about this, Delta? Next time I fly with you, I'm going to show up for my flight sometime between 6:50pm and 6:50am and see how you like it.

I got down to baggage claim after posting my liveblogging updates, and my bag wasn't there yet.
So I waited.

And I waited.
And it didn't show up. So I go into the dreaded baggage claim office, home of the most depressed employees in the entire airline industry.
It turns out that ...

This morning, I'm flying out to Utah to ski for a few days. Before I do that, however, I have to experience the joy that is a 6:50am flight out of JFK. After my nightmare experience getting to JFK last time, I chose a rather unconventional method for getting there: ...

I kept meaning to post this ad for a while. I saw it last month in a newspaper in Jackson Hole (no, not this Jackson Hole). Check out the latest fashion trend that Wyoming has to offer:
I have a feeling this look won't be coming to New York anytime soon.

Button, you are a horrible button! I hate you! In fact, nobody likes you at all!
There. I depressed the button for 5 seconds. Why isn't it working?

On the last leg of my flight home from Jackson Hole, I discovered that Sunday was Role Reversal Day at American Airlines.
The lead flight attendant was a tall, masculine-sounding, monotone-voiced male. He was also kind of a prick about shutting down electronic devices, but judging from what happened to my flight, I ...
