Paying more for things today is nothing new and complaining about it is a right given to everyone, including HipsterTravelGuide. Earlier this week, as we were driving down to Key West, we heard the news reports of all the major airlines increasing their ticket prices by $10 each way. $10 doesn’t sound like much,...
The TSA announced this morning that Palm Springs International Airport now includes Advance Imaging Technology — aka body scanners — so let the inappropriate fondling begin. Congrats Palm Springs residents, now you can either get some sort of unknown cancer from an untested machine that spreads radiation like Santa spreads Christmas cheer — or...
Last week I wrote about watching a colleague get groped in broad daylight at the San Diego Airport (and Gentlemen’s Club). I thought I had seen it all until this week when I went through security with another colleague at the Jackson Hole, Wyoming Airport. My buddy whom I’ll call “Arv” (primarily because that’s...
This may shock some of my loyal readers but there are a lot of things that really piss me off. If there weren’t, this space would probably contain a public service spot. The other day I was sitting in a rather hellacious place known as coach on a flight to Detroit from San Diego....
Hilton Hotels and Resorts in the UK are finally showing their Christmas Spirits this week, debuting their 12 drinks of Christmas. The tasty concoctions take their name from that horrible song we’ve all had sing at one point in our lives — and now award winning mixologists Nelson Bernardes and Daniel Caravalho have something...
They were always there — running around in their skinny jeans, drinking bad Belgium beer while smoking Gauloises and turning their noses up at tourists, corporate types and anyone else who didn’t truly understand the irony of it all: The European Hipster. But now, The Courrier International is featuring “Le Hipster.” A bearded bespeckled ...
Gloves. A must have when you trek outside in the dead of winter. A trusted tool when you work in construction. And a fashionable accessory for the uber chic gala event. But there’s more to wearing gloves than just pulling them on and wiggling your fingers. Wearing gloves comes with some simple responsibilities of...
There’s a great song in the movie Dumbo where two crows watch this damned elephant soaring through the heavens. The chorus goes, “I guess I seen ‘bout everything, when I see a elephant fly.” (I said they were crows…not English language scholars). I was reminded of this song the other day when several colleagues...
Aruba is an island. A little tiny one covered with rocks and whatnot that require tour guides in off-road vehicles to transport tourists around — and sometimes, they let them drive. De Palm Tours gave me and other bloggers hosted by Marriott Resorts a dusty tour of the island. Here’s what I saw: Back...
Poking around on the computer, we found this on YouTube. This is Adam Savage from Discovery Channel’s MythBusters. He’s that kinda geeky cool on the show, and surprisingly pulls it off quite well on live on stage as well. 12″ long razor blades being missed on a full body image scanner makes you wonder...
