Air Travel Today
As a former flight attendant, believe me when I tell you that I have seen it all when it comes to traveling on a plane. It is as if people become someone that you do not recognize. It is understandable when we are required to release ourselves to a total stranger. These planes take us from A to B, and we have no idea who is flying them. I can assure you that these people are highly qualified. It takes long hours of flight and classroom training before you can fly a commercial airplane. Most pilots are former military, and have plenty of experience flying. Your flight attendants have a lot of training as well. You should put down your book, magazine, whatever you might be doing, stop talking, and listen to what they are saying. If not for yourself at least out of respect for the people that are sitting near you. They are not doing that safety demonstration for themselves. They already know everything that there is to know about that. Remember if anything goes wrong these are the people who are going to help you. They know those planes, you don't, so you are going to need them.

Kauai
We opted to take the red eye flight out of Vegas to Kauai to make sure we could take advantage of as much of each day of the trip. To those worried about not being able to sleep on the flight, no worries. Kauai has some of the best coffee in the world grown right on island—enjoy! Landing on Kauai with our first beach stop at Poli Hali, naturally we picked the beach with a four-mile dirt road entry as the very first spot to head! We enjoyed a few hours of decently aggressive shorebreak with maybe another six people within sight along over 14 miles of beautiful beach. This beach is actually only a few miles away from our next destination: the Napoli Coast, back behind those rather large volcanic cliffs in the background of the photo below:

Day in Salem
My film studies professor told us about an exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum called "It’s Alive," which features posters and props from classic horror and sci-fi films. It piqued my interest and so Jasmine and I decided that we would go downtown today since my only class was canceled and Jasmine did not have class until 3:05.

Exploring the Forgotten Spanish Countryside
As we made our way up through the flat landscape, occasionally glimpsing the edge of a vineyard or orange grove. We had no idea where exactly we were heading. You see, to us it's not the destination that's important, it's the journey you take to get there.

Fall in Love with London. Top Story - October 2017.
London has always been a huge tourist destination in Western Europe. It is a city that has been featured hundreds of times in both film and TV. London is a place that anybody can visualize and tell you at least one monument that resides there. However, you can't truly understand the city until you have touched it, felt it, and of course seen it for yourself.
