Happy Holidays from the Virgin Islands! Christmas Card Infographic

by

A few weeks ago I posted a photo of the week that I also used as the front of our Christmas card. It was this picture of the Duomo Cathedral in Milan. At the time I mentioned that I was also thinking about posting the other side of the Christmas Card after my family and friends had received their cards in the mail. My goal was to post it on Christmas Day, but I ran into … [Read more...] about Happy Holidays from the Virgin Islands! Christmas Card Infographic

Belkin Ultimate Keyboard Case for iPad Air Review

by

As I mentioned in a recent post, I have long been a skeptic of the iPad as a productivity device. It took the folks at Belkin putting an iPad case in my hands to change that perception, and perhaps after reading this review you may have the same feelings. If you want an opportunity to win the device I'm reviewing, you have until midnight EST on 12/20/2013 to enter my Holiday … [Read more...] about Belkin Ultimate Keyboard Case for iPad Air Review

Leave Your Laptop at Home? I Did and Lived to Tell About It!

by

When it comes to technology, I am a first generation kind of guy. In 2007, I waited in line with 300 other people for the privilege to spend $599 on an iPhone on opening day. My early adoption tendencies also applied to the iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S and the 5S.  First generation Kindle? Yeah, I bought one of those too. When the iPad came along in 2010, I bought one and took it … [Read more...] about Leave Your Laptop at Home? I Did and Lived to Tell About It!

The Case for Delta Diamond Medallion Just Became More Convincing With Global Upgrades

by

I have been a Delta Platinum Medallion for the past several years, reaching the 75,000 Medallion Qualifying Miles threshold for Platinum status fairly painlessly along the way. Usually I am somewhere between 25k to 40k short of reaching Diamond Medallion status, but elect not to go out of my way to earn the 125,000 MQM’s needed to reach Diamond status. Instead, I have decided … [Read more...] about The Case for Delta Diamond Medallion Just Became More Convincing With Global Upgrades

And Then There Were Three… American and US Airways Merger Legally Closed

by

This morning I received an email from American Airlines announcing that their merger with US Airways has legally closed. While this is a major event in the process of folding US Airways into American Airlines, it will still be a while before US Airways fades into nothingness. From initial announcement to complete integration, an airline merger takes years to complete and is … [Read more...] about And Then There Were Three… American and US Airways Merger Legally Closed

Photo of the Week: Christmas Markets in Milan

by

Jeffsetter has been radio silent the past 7 days and for that I apologize. I shut the laptop down before we boarded our flight to Milan and didn't pick it up for a solid 4 days. Since I only write posts on my laptop (not on the iPad), that meant no posts while I was in Milan. I finally picked up my computer in the Milan departure lounge to download and organize the 600+ … [Read more...] about Photo of the Week: Christmas Markets in Milan

Epic Twitter Fight Between Delayed Thanksgiving Travelers Will Make You LOL

by

As I mentioned in this morning’s post, today is a travel day in Jeffsetter land. When I have connecting flights in Atlanta it’s always a rush to find the gate of my next flight. After I board the flight I find myself killing time before the plane actually takes off. This usually involves reading novels or checking my Facebook feed for something interesting. While waiting for … [Read more...] about Epic Twitter Fight Between Delayed Thanksgiving Travelers Will Make You LOL
