Aircraft Make Emergency Landing Unruly Passenger
May 6th, 2012 
NearlyBionic There are only a few rules to follow when traveling by aircraft and yet it’s so hard for some people to follow them. If the flight attendant cannot persuade such passengers to comply, then there are those rare occasions where an immediate landing may be necessary.
Priceline.com: A Wolf In Sheeps Clothing
May 4th, 2012 NearlyBionic Using Priceline.com when they first opened for business was great. You could get a last minute room, sometimes for dirt cheap, if the hotel was not full and simply interested in filling the room. It was perfect. Fast forward to today and what you’re really paying for is all of the bad advertising and low [...]
Charlotte, NC Airport Doubletree Lacking
April 22nd, 2012 NearlyBionic As usual, we waited for at least half an hour for the hotel van to arrive from the hotel, 10 minutes away. The driver didn’t even have the courtesy to close the van doors! The front desk staff was friendly as always though and made up for the lack in courtesy. Sitting area are warm [...]

Easter, a Rabbit and a Roast!
April 10th, 2012 NearlyBionic No, I didn’t make a rabbit roast. I am not doubting that rabbit is perfectly fine to eat and I am by no means a vegetarian, however, bunnies are just too cute for my palate. I did roast a lovely cross rib roast and baked a cake that looked like a cartoon rabbit though. The [...]
How Do You Board A Plane?
March 28th, 2012 NearlyBionic How one boards a plane is different from how one would like to board the aircraft! Personally, I find the whole process dull and annoying, and there doesn’t seem to be anything that I can do to control the situation except remind everyone that the whole plane is going the same place and not to [...]
The Bullies We Trust To Protect Us?
March 24th, 2012 NearlyBionic Entering the airport, we head through the lobby and past the line of passengers also waiting to pass the TSA check point. I notice a woman in a hot pink t-shirt and gleaming white pants walking away from the check point with her young son. As soon as we pass them, they turn and head [...]
Bruge, Belgium A Beatiful Life Almost Forgotten
March 21st, 2012 NearlyBionic I am not quite sure what brought me to Bruge that day however, I am forever grateful. As much as I love grand cities like Paris and Brussels, they cannot compare with the city that was almost forgotten.
