Back in June of this year I had a whirlwind travel schedule that saw me flying from SEA-MSP-EWR-YYZ-MSP in the span of 48 hours. This was for a business trip that saw me speaking at conferences in New Jersey and Toronto on the same day. Given the tight timeline for delivering both speeches (and crossing country borders to get there), I was fully expecting to have some sort of … [Read more...] about Delta Airlines Bookings on WestJet: Buyer Beware

The Madison Hotel Review, Morristown New Jersey Hotel Review
While the Madison Hotel shares a name with the nearby city of Madison, NJ, it is actually located in Morristown, which appears to confuse both cab drivers and GPS's equally. Neither my cab driver nor his GPS could manage to find the Madison hotel on our first approach, so we ended up driving through the campus of Farleigh Dickinson University for around 30 minutes before … [Read more...] about The Madison Hotel Review, Morristown New Jersey Hotel Review

Every year or two I add photos to the wall to include updated destinations from my … [Read more...] about [Friday Photo] Panoramic View of Salzburg, Austria from Kehlsteinhaus

While posting has been a little light on the flagship Jeffsetter.com lately, it doesn't mean that I haven't been active in the travel community.

[Friday Photo] Original US Capitol Columns at the National Arboretum
Perhaps the best kept secret in all of Washington, D.C. (an extremely bold statement, I know) is the National Arboretum. I had never heard of it until my wife suggested that we spend an afternoon there in October of 2011. If the adage in real estate is location, location, location, the National Arboretum probably has the worst location of them all. It's not located along the … [Read more...] about [Friday Photo] Original US Capitol Columns at the National Arboretum
