Sensational San Diego!
"San Diego. It means whale's vagina in German," insisted the droll newsman Ron Burgundy, as he and his date looked out over the fair city. That line from Anchorman kept me snickering for weeks as I readied for my first trip there. More »

In-Flight Fitness: Stretches for Tired Travelers
Rated 5.0 Stars
Unless you're going to a neighbor island, the nearest flight out of Hawaii state takes at least five hours, to the West Coast. Five hours is a long time to be sitting on a plane. And with more people trying to take their luggage on board instead of paying a baggage fee, there's less leg room on board, as well. More »

Road warriors, this one's for you. If you spend a lot of time traveling for work and/or for pleasure, you - like me - probably want to find a low-hassle way to maintain your health and fitness. It's not all about vanity, after all - exercise helps the body adjust to a new time zone. More »

Trekking Around Truckee
'Ski trip' and 'baby' are two things that don't really go well together. What started out as an optimistic spring ski trip with our baby, ended up being more of a family vacation in snow territory.

Vail: Like Nothing On Earth
My wife and I have a shared "fun" goal. It's to ski around the world together. Alpine skiing is her favorite sport, and this Hawaii native was so interested in the sport, she was briefly a ski instructor. I learned to ski some five years ago, which most people find hard to believe since I grew up in Europe, but it's true. Anyhow, I liked it too, and together, we've tried to take yearly ski trips.

Controlling the Skies: How the Air Traffic Control Tower Works
When you're taking a plane trip, how much thought do you give to the people working to keep you safe in the skies? I never considered it on my many flights as a traveler, but after I got my private pilot's license some years ago, I had to learn more about the inner workings of the control tower. Recently, the Federal Aviation Administration opened up the Honolulu tower to a rare media tour. More »

How to Win Playing Slot Machines, Really!
As I said in part one of this series there are some secrets to winning at slot machines but no-one can guarantee your financial results. You've seen those slot systems advertised on the web for $39.95, $49.95 or more and your chance of winning is no better with or without their secret. Save that money and you are already a winner.

Travel Trends in Wedding Registries
When Hawaii Kai residents Kiriko and Duke Oishi got married in September 2007, they realized they had blown their entire savings on the wedding. "When we were going over the costs, we realized we'd be broke after the wedding," says Kiriko Oishi. More »
