Exotic Airlines and Exotic Destinations

I have been very fortunate to travel around the world quite a few times. At 49 years old, I am still like a little kid when I know I am going to fly. As an avid airline traveler I have come to appreciate certain airlines for certain destinations as not just a flight to a destination but an experience to be thoroughly savored and enjoyed. Here is my list of airline and destination matchups, most of which I have experienced.

  • Cathay Pacific into Hong Kong
  • TWA into Milan
  • Varig into Rio de Janerio
  • British Airways into London
  • Swiss Air into Geneva
  • Qantas into Perth
  • Lufthansa into Munich
  • Singapore Airlines into Changi
  • Pan Am into Buenes Aires
If you have ever flown on any of these combinations you know what I mean. Keep the flip flops and sweat suits to Southwest Airlines. For class travel go with one of these listed airlines.

John Thain Are You Out Of Your Freakin' Mind

Talk about the pinnacle of arrogance. John Thain the CEO of Merrill Lynch wants 10 million dollars because he was able to secure 10 billion dollars for his company as part of the grand bailout. Is he out of his F--King mind?? You need to get in touch with reality Mr Thain.

If anything you should get your dumb ass fired for leading your company into the state it is in now. People like you really really piss me off.

Enough said..............

Favorite Place Favorite TIme

My favorite time of day and my favorite type of place. I have always said when my time to pass on comes I want to be sitting by sea at sundown and as the last ray of light disappears over the horizon I am taken. (for that reason my wife forbids me to take any type of chair to the beach)
