Thanks, George. We agree – Jon (Wanderlusty) is fantastic. Great content, awesome photographs, and just a really classy guy!

We are really excited about our newest bloggers: Road Warrior Way, Top Travel Tips and Dispatches from Abroad. All of them promise solid travel content!

Sorry to see TravelBlawg and Will Run for Miles go, but they’ll always be friends and part of the F2B family!

In reply to Dia. Whenever I stay in a Fairmont I feel guilty for living it up and hope my kids do not think they deserve it. I make the point "If it was not for the points/miles we would NEVER pay for this". I hope they understand :-)

In reply to Dia. TBB Editorial Board does not permit lobbying. Proof of using the TBB Amazon link or buying banner ad is a different story lol

In reply to FFHigh. +1 on Wanderlusty. I lobbied to get Jon on the site (I had to lobby Jon, F2B was on board right away) and love both his take (the stuff about being gay in Russia was killer) and his photos. So glad he's getting a wider audience. Deserves a spot on the "blogs I like" list, IMHO.

In reply to Steve.

When I was young, there used to be a TV show called Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Sitting in the living room with my family, we’d watch things that would seem crazy and barely imaginable. In the past five years of this game, I’ve had over the top experiences. I’ve slept in the Presidential Suite of a major Chicago hotel. I’ve taken a 3 year old roller blading in Tiananmen Square. I’ve watched penguins on the beach in South Africa. I’ve stood alone in Kim Il-Sung Square. To my parents and a lot of the people from my childhood, I live fantasy.
OMAAT is even more over the top, but I’m pretty sure Mr. Schlappig understands it won’t last forever. It’s a fantasy blog, and that’s fine with me.

Those of us who live on planet earth are well aware that Gary, Lucky and The Credit Card guy are in a never-ending race to see who is the most out of touch with actual earthlings

To that end, a strong entry from Lucky in his AUH-LAX trip report

“For example, we sat on the ground an hour before pushback, and I got offered one glass of champagne the whole time”

Just one glass? it’s amazing that Lucky didn’t pass out from dehydration
