Rather than choose to give birth in a hospital, a tourist chose to have her baby in the Red Sea.
While this sounds like a crazy idea, water births are an option some woman choose. I’d assume that they’re usually in a tub or pool, not in a sea! Continue reading Tourist Has Water Birth In The Red Sea
A 21 year-old Australian woman, Danielle Di Fiore moved to “London in March with her boyfriend and best friends, two year-old Indian ringneck parrots Kakota and Elvis“.
She paid Qantas a huge sum of money to get her birds to London, but one didn’t arrive in good health, dying of hypothermia soon after. Continue reading Qantas Freezes Pet Bird To Death, Won’t Take Responsibility
While traveling, one of the best ways to document a trip is by taking photos. And is there a better way to share details of your trip than by posting vacation photos on social media?
I used to share lots of vacation photos to Facebook but rarely do so anymore. It can be a pain and I also don’t really think about doing it. I think for one trip in the past year or 2, I posted photos since I had free WiFi during the flight home as a way to kill time. (I have been posting photos to Instagram though.)
The New York Post shares some interesting news related to vacation photos. Continue reading Can It Be True? Nobody Cares About Your Vacation Photos!
Driving a taxi can be a very dangerous job. For that reason, most taxis have a plexiglass partition between the front and back seat.
If you look at most taxis, they also usually have a small video camera near the rear-view mirror. I assume that they record the rides now but I’m pretty sure they used to just take still images every few seconds (or something like that).
I came across a really sad story about an Uber driver killed by his teen passenger. Continue reading Just Awful, Teen Kills Uber Driver
Uber has proven to be quite a popular and useful service, thanks in part to some awesome promos. (Have any of you taken advantage of the free airport ride offer?)
I’ve only used Uber for shorter rides with our longest trips being… home from the airport a few times.
Have you ever wondered what the longest Uber ride has been? Continue reading The Longest Uber Ride Ever!
Over the summer a bizarre emotional support animal got loose during a flight.
Back in 2014 an emotional support pig was kicked off of a flight. And while not flight or travel-related, a service kangaroo was kicked out of McDonald’s in 2015!
A couple of days back, I received a text with a very interesting story from my older brother. Continue reading Emotional Support What??? on a Plane
There have been planes diverted for a variety of different reasons.
Recently Delta flight attendants got into a fight which caused the plane to make an unscheduled landing. Donald Trump’s plane had to make an emergency landing due to engine troubles. A plane was also diverted due to a 9/11 rant.
Imagine a plane diverted due to peeing! And no, the bathroom wasn’t broken on the plane. Continue reading Plane Diverted: Man Pees On Other Passenger During Flight
I recently wrote about a tourist scam in New York City where a couple of tourists paid $400 to ride the FREE Staten Island Ferry! I came across this story not too many days after hearing about tourists being charged up to $30 for a hot dog in the city!
This goes to show that you need to do your research and have an idea of what things should cost when visiting a new place.
I just came across another story of a massive scam which might be better described as a con. This time the target wasn’t tourists. Continue reading Woman Claims To Be UN Diplomat, Cons Hotels & Restaurants
