Halloween definitely ranks up there as one of the top days of the years for kids.

Yesterday Lucas had a great time trick or treating and came home with enough candy which should last for quite sometime!

What’s a kid to do if they’re flying on Halloween and won’t be able to trick or treat??? Continue reading Girl Goes Trick Or Treating During Flight!

American Museum of Natural History

For Halloween this year, Kim, Lucas and I did something a bit different. Rather than go trick or treating around our neighborhood, we headed to Manhattan for a very interesting event.

We went to the American Museum of Natural History for their 20th Annual Halloween Celebration.

The event sounded like a great idea where we could experience the museum while trick or treating, see characters likes Curious George & Llama Llama, hear live performances and check out what other activities were planned.

We decided to have a family theme for this year’s costume. Continue reading Michael W Travels Halloween Flight Crew

Warning: Uber Surge Pricing on Halloween

There’s been lots written about the horrors of high prices associated with Uber’s Surge Pricing and many people feel strongly whether it’s for or against it.

With today being a big holiday- Halloween, Uber sent out a warning. The warning was to let us know that Surge Pricing is most likely to kick in tonight when demand is high.

Uber was nice enough to send out this message with some important info and an idea on how to save money on rides. Continue reading Warning: Uber Surge Pricing on Halloween

Trick or Treat on Southwest Airlines with a Free Drink!

Southwest Airlines

Earlier in the month I wrote about a couple of new Southwest drink options as well as a couple of upcoming free drink dates.

Southwest’s new drink options include tequila & margarita mix as well as a new beer. Since one of the free drink dates is coming up I wanted post a reminder. Continue reading Trick or Treat on Southwest Airlines with a Free Drink!

Southwest CEO Gary Kelly Loves Halloween

What’s the best part of Halloween? Is it getting dressed up or getting to go trick or treating?If we were to run a poll, my guess would be that both options would get their fair share of votes.

Based on a video I came across, I think Southwest’s CEO Gary Kelly would choose dressing up in awesome costumes. Continue reading Southwest CEO Gary Kelly Loves Halloween

Spend Halloween in NYC at the American Museum of Natural History

As a little kid, I always found it exciting to get dressed up and go trick or treating around the neighborhood. I always got a kick out of ringing strangers’ door bells and scoring lots of treats.

In recent years, we’ve taken Lucas trick or treating a couple of times but I can’t say that it was so exciting. Then again, getting dressed up is half the fun. Check out Lucas as my little burger from a few years back during Purim, another holiday where you get dressed up. Last year we all dressed up as skeletons. After Lucas picked out his costume at the store, Kim got crafty and made us ours.

This year I am really excited for Halloween since we’ll be doing something quite different from what we’ve ever done before. Continue reading Spend Halloween in NYC at the American Museum of Natural History

Beware of Uber Surge Pricing on Halloween

While I’m not at all a frequent Uber user, I’ve heard about their Surge Pricing from many people and even wrote about a $94 2-mile cab ride in NYC during a snow storm last year.

For those of you not sure about Uber surge pricing, here is a quote from my post last year:

According to GothamistSurge pricing goes into effect when demand for a car reaches exceptional levels, with examples including Halloween, New Year’s Eve, and yes, Icy Wet Snow Day From Super Hell. The idea is that prices are raised in real time in accordance with “supply health,” rising and, eventually, falling as cars become available.

11 Hair-Raising Sites Around the World

Happy Halloween to everyone! I hope you have a spooky and fun day.

As a little kid the day was quite special due to the large amounts of candy we’d love to collect while going door to door. (I also enjoyed ringing people’s door bells many times if they weren’t quick to answer their door!)

These days, I can’t say that I care much about Halloween but Lucas is actually excited to dress up this year. Kim made costumes for us, (We bought Lucas’). Mine is actually just a shirt but it’s related to one of the things I am quite interested in when traveling catacombs and bones.

Yes, we’ll all be skeletons for Halloween. How creative! Continue reading 11 Hair-Raising Sites Around the World

10 Best Halloween Celebrations in U.S.

Halloween can be a really fun day for all ages. Growing up I always looked forward to this ghoulish day but as I got older, (like most I’d assume) I became less  enthusiastic about it.

In my adult life I’ve only dressed up a handful of times that I can recall. I dressed up as a baseball player, in my idea of traditional German clothing (not what I’ve worn to Oktoberfest) and DJ Lance from Yo Gabba Gabba. I may have left out one other time that I’ve dressed up but I can’t think of what I dressed as. Continue reading 10 Best Halloween Celebrations in U.S.
