To Text or Not To Text in Flight. Is Line2 the Answer?


Many airline passengers forget to turn their cell phones off in flight, or maybe obstinately refuse to.

But, mobile phone use is still not generally allowed on planes.

Emirates and Malaysia airlines do allow them in certified aircraft using AeroMobile technolog

It’s just a decade old, but as you’d expect, this resort on the South China Sea beachfront in the small Malay sultanate ruled by one of the world’s richest men — originally built as a royal palace by the sultan’s very naughty kid brother to the tune of more than US$1 billion — has been in the front ranks of Asia’s top hostelries ever since. With 420 rooms, suites, and villas on a lushly landscaped 45-acre (180-hectare) spread, the palatial joint is awash in soaring columns and all manner of sum

Beaches and wheelchair don’t usually mix. It’s very hard to get a 300 pound, electric wheelchair to move once it’s stuck in the sand. Some beaches have concrete or wooden ramps to the high-tide line but after that, you’re on your own. A few more beaches have special wheelchairs available for loan that a helper can use to get you to the water, but you can have a hard time finding anyone who knows about them.

Still, some waterfront areas are accommodating to those who do use a wheelchair. In my hom

Nantucket on My Mind

Years after Nantucket’s whaling industry virtually decimated the Atlantic whale population and became fabulously wealthy in the process, Ahab and the White Whale are gone, but the wealth and charm of the island remain.

This small island (9 x 12 miles) well off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, has lost none of its magic.

Late fall Nantucket is a perfect time to visit this storied island, far from summer's "madding crowds," and very much how she really is without the exc

A Scottish Cemetery Visit on Halloween

One of my favorite benefits of business travel is seeing new cities, towns and countries, and experiencing different cultures.

I’m in Scotland for business and today is Halloween. When I arrived here, I wasn’t sure if Halloween is celebrated in the UK or not. Oh yes … and for much longer than it’s been celebrated in North America.

A bit of history:

The Celtic festival Samhain is one of the four quarter festivals. In Gaelic it is Samhuinn which means hallow tide or season, the feast of all-souls.

Just as astrology can identify, say, business and romantic opportunities or challenges, those celestial bodies slinking about the stars can help pinpoint optimal times and places for travel. Also, destinations have their own astro-charts, which interact with yours -- meaning astrology can serve as a kind of spiritual travel agent. It can tell you, for example, about places likely to be good or not-so-good matches for your temperament, personality, and current astrological indications. Check your
