Update: The name of the National Forest has been corrected.
Having visited Arches National Park in Moab, UT, nearly three years ago, this weekend I went for colder climes: the 11,000-foot Grand Mesa National Forest, just east of Grand Junction, CO.
My route took me east past Palisade, then south past the Powderhorn ski resort and into [...]
Since I was flying cross-country, I spent some United points and upgraded my flight to First Class for the first two of the three legs I had to fly today.
When I arrived in Chicago, I noticed that my seat said “6A.” Six-A? The 737 that had the most First Class seats had four [...]

It didn’t make sense, all those $10 and $25 tickets, unless they willing to buy the market and raise prices later.
The AP reports that Columbus-based Skybus Airlines is shutting down and filing for bankruptcy protection.
Some of the things Skybus did, other airlines are doing now, such as charging for onboard meals. Depending on [...]
Thursday night or Friday you will see a Hotel Report about the place I am staying in, which is an extended stay hotel. You’ll get the specifics then, but the general differences deserve a post of their own.
