Booked

Just booked myself a one-way ticket to Tokyo using my frequent flyer miles. I made it onto the ANA flight that I wanted; the phone rep asked me why I wanted to book Star Alliance rather than the United flight that’s an hour later, and I explained that ANA has on-demand video while United does … Continue reading »

IDC about the TSA

I Don’t Care about the Transportation Security Administration. Really, I don’t. And that is why I should stop reading the comments on TSA Blog. Because everybody there is ranting for whichever side they support (most are against the TSA) and I just don’t care that much. I am quite happy to just move along through … Continue reading »

Suites on A380s

I happened to spot an advertisement for the new A380 service offered by Singapore Airlines, so I thought I’d check it out. The real standout is their suites…whoa.

But I don’t have a foursquare history for the cruise (much too hard … Continue reading »

Disneyland 2010

We went to Disneyland at the beginning of the most awesome trip ever. This recollection is brought to you courtesy of Foursquare. I checked in just about everywhere I spent significant time attending, so I have a “running commentary” of things I did!

Trip Home

So let me summarize the 2010 NAD conference the best I can! It’s really also the story of my trip home from Japan. Actually, let me start by saying that before I left, I had a pretty relaxed week; most of the time was spent creating ASL materials like a video with numbers and another … Continue reading »

Catching Up: Japan!

Let me see what I can reconstruct of the blog entries that died with my Dell netbook…this is going to be a long one! The flight over was totally fine. It was 13 hours or so, but I was surprisingly comfortable. That can probably be attributed to the upgrade I got at the gate – … Continue reading »

Passport Hijinks

My last post, about the phone rental, was made last Wednesday night. On Thursday morning, I placed the rental reservation, and the confirmation email said I needed to send a copy of my passport as required by Japanese law. So I went to get it out and take it to school for scanning, and…it wasn’t … Continue reading »
