There are lots of interesting and unique stays available to book through Airbnb.

There used to be a pizza themed rental available in Brooklyn, NY but the listing was pulled (I assume) due to COVID-19. An apartment in a NYC housing project was listed on the site. You can also book a stay in a 6-ton potato!

From time to time, Airbnb runs special listings which are almost like contests. These properties are only available for a limited time.

Blockbuster Videos used to be very popular but have virtually disappeared. Continue reading Book A Sleepover At The LAST Blockbuster Location In The World!

How Did Kim Get To Fly Without Her ID?

fly without idIn late October, the Michael W Travels family went on a quick trip to Portland, Oregon. This would be the first flight for Theo!

Our day started out very early and before heading over to security at LaGuardia Airport, we stopped by the Amex Centurion Lounge for a quick breakfast.

When we got to security we then encountered a problem. Kim’s NYC ID wasn’t considered a valid form of identification according to the TSA. Continue reading How Did Kim Get To Fly Without Her ID?

Kim, Lucas and I were thrilled to recently add a new member to our family- Theo Oliver!

Since the three of us love to travel, we wanted to start our little guy off early. Lucas got to fly for the first time (to Barbados) at a week shy of three months old. This time around we were looking to going a bit sooner.

A couple of weeks back we headed to Portland, Oregon for a quick visit. This would be Theo’s first time on an airplane at just 7 weeks old!

Here’s some details of what it was like flying with two kiddies for the first time! Continue reading Theo Takes His First Flight at 7 Weeks Old!

The legal acceptance of marijuana around the U.S. has been increasing in recent time.

According to CNN, as of April 2015 four states (Alaska, Colorado, Oregon & Washington) and Washington, DC allow the recreational use of marijuana. Many others legally allow its use for medicinal purposes.

From what I’ve read, more states will follow, allowing for the recreational use of marijuana in the future. I’m not a smoker and prefer not to breathe in other people’s smoke whether it be cigarettes, cigars or pot so these new laws do nothing for me in a positive way…

So what if those that enjoy smoking up want to fly with their marijuana? Continue reading You Can Fly With You Marijuana In This State
