Monthly Archives for February 2015.
There is a dystopian future where the government takes pride in being called Kafkaesque. They make rules that create discord and drive the citizenry crazy. They throw half the world’s population into prison. Inside those prisons, the people are treated like less than cattle. One of their punishments? They have to eat the food of…
This is big. Really big. It’s the wifi hack of your dreams. What if I told you I just uncovered a major trick to scamming free wifi at the airport and all you need is a smartphone? Would you be happy? I bet you would. I know I was when I discovered the secret. THE…
Sunsets are disgusting. Just awful wastes of everyone’s time and energy. “Oh look! The Earth is turning!” Who cares? Nobody. In fact, the sunsets down here in Fiji are even worse than normal because everyone stops what they’re doing to watch. So stupid. We could all be doing something productive with our time instead of…
Negative temperatures got you down? Take a mental vacation with Fly&Dine and check out the posts you may have missed this week. I didn’t get to post very much because I happen to be on a gorgeous private island in Fiji, but what I did post should serve as a brain-thawer. For those of you…
I’m in Fiji. Chances are, you’re not. Be my virtual vacation companion with these beautiful island photos.
I’m at Turtle Island in Fiji having a blast, but one of the best parts is that I have to actually WORK to get wifi. If it need to connect, I have to sit on a bench outside the gift shop and that means I’m not constantly checking my phone for emails. While I don’t…
I love traveling. If you’re reading Fly&Dine, a blog about eating while you travel, I have to assume that you love traveling, too. Either that, or you’re either my Mom or my Facebook friend (Hi Mom!). Traveling allows us to step outside of our daily lives and, ironically, actually live. That means forgetting about carpools…
I can barely contain my excitement. Tomorrow I’m off to Fiji with my lady and it’s all that I can think about. Until then, though, I want you to be thinking about the past week in Fly&Dine. Missed a post? Catch up now with my Fly&Dine Week-in-Review: How did the fancy French food stack up?…
So, as you may know, I totally went to France last week. Sacrebleu! As is the case with some of these fancy press trips, there’s an airline partner involved. In this case, it was Air France, who generously sent me in economy class from LA to Paris. On the way home, however, I won the…
While I’m not a coffee drinker myself, I know that people get very worked up about the type of water-braised bean slurry that they’re served and that’s why it seems like good news that Delta has chosen to serve Starbucks coffee on all of its flights from here to eternity. Reuters reports that Delta has…
Today’s post was sent in by longtime Fly&Dine reader and avid traveler Paul Bacon. If you’d like to submit a story to Fly&Dine and experience all of the glory therein, please send a message to flyandddine@gmail.com with the subject line “Submission.” Take it away, Paul! Today was the long awaited opening of the Grille District…
As regular travelers, I think we occasionally think of airports like cable companies and the IRS, which is to say arcane mazes of bureaucracy that get in the way of what we really want to do (i.e. actually travel). That’s not entirely fair. Yes, airports are the places where we have to endure invasive body…
