Souvenir Sunday: sweets in Santiago

01/06/13

I’ve been fortunate to start off the new year with a few days working and exploring in Santiago after flying on LAN Airlines’ first 787 Dreamliner flight from LAX to Santiago. The city is large and my time here is short, so I plunked down $155 for a five-hour, personalized, fast-paced tour of the city […]

11/25/12

These dancing turkeys were spotted at Heathrow Airport on Thanksgiving Day and luckily they didn’t gobble up all the cool souvenirs to be found in the shops, such as this cardboard airport. The package says this is for kids and I bought two sets, for about $9 each. One I tried to put together – […]

Souvenir Sunday: chocolate airplanes & Aeroflot give-aways

10/21/12

I’m still snacking on the packaged samples and sorting through the screen cleaners and assorted geegaws I picked up in Long Beach, Calif. last month while attending the APEX (Airline Passenger Experience Association) Expo and discovering the adjacent exhibit hall for IFSA, the International Flight Services Association. Here are two items I wish I could […]
