I have learned to swallow my pride and request such assistance. Some of the most pleasant employees associated with airports and air lines whom I have encountered have been those who drive those carts. Or, push the wheelchairs.

I would never, ever consider flying on either of these airlines or any combination of them!

So, the "smart ones" who decide such want to discourage those of us who are seniors and want to travel and have the financial resources to do not to travel?

That's a good sounding menu! "Various chowders" intrigues me. Other than Clam, what might they offer?

Or, just an AU cruise?

Airports are getting too darn big! And, this new terminal is an example of that. So far to walk and the more senior one becomes, the more difficult it is to do so. Those who design these terminals will sometime wonder: why did I make it so large?

My first train trip was at an age close to the age of your son. Don't know the reason it happened, but one one trip the train's conductor gave my Mother and me an upgrade to the Parlor Car (a car that had individual, swivel seats with an Attendant). We always traveled in Coach on that part of...

I often have difficulty in using In Flight Entertainment systems. I can get something started OK, but, then trying "to surf" the system to see what else I might want to watch: often, I am unsuccessful. During a Singapore Airlines flight, the system kept freezing. The Flight Attendant for my...

For many years when I was teaching, I used a 16 mm Bell & Howell projector. Good times? Not always. When the film started to "chatter" as it went through the projector and I couldn't get it to stop. (Most of the times, I was successful, but there was a couple of inopportune times when I...

Thank you for your advice. I miss my 3G flip phone.

I have a Samsung Galaxy A12.

My brother initially had motion sickness issues when he was young. He seemed to focus on "something" that was moving. Then, he would begin to get queasy. During a train trip, he began to focus on the ground racing by the window of our seat; my Mother told him, start to look elsewhere. During...

Please don't laugh when you read this post. I am a new smartphone owner and I am trying to learn how to use the phone. What is "airplane mode" and how does one activate it?

Agree with your thoughts, except, the formality can become a "bit too much" if one has a Dining Room Assistant Maitre d' who becomes obnoxious to the point that this guest (with the urging of my tablemates) had a "face-to-face" discussion with the gentleman following one evening's dinner. That...

That is what I have recommended to people for many years. What do most people do soon after boarding a cruise ship? And, why does the cruise line encourages people to do? Go to the buffet and have lunch! Having a full tummy does discourage Mal de Mer. Although, part of seasickness is...

Yes, it can. But, for me, that's part of the enjoyment of a crossing or a cruise. One knows that you are not a land based resort!' I had one of these in-hull staterooms on Queen Mary 2 and will not book another one again. With the steel hull being the outer edge of the veranda, one sits on...

Amtrak needs to change some people's perception of their service. On another message board, Amtrak is getting trashed because of the Federal money that they expect to receive while there is a reduction of service in the Silver Service route. The basic complaint is why can they predict this...

I agree with your practice.

Thank you for providing this information about calling 911 on a cell phone. I did not realize that an open line for the 911 operator was needed by that person.

My reasons for tipping are several. I want to recognize personal service to me. If that service is truly exemplary, the gratuity increases. Tipping is historically the proper thing to do when traveling by train. Tipping encourages staff to do a good job. (Everyone likes a bit more money in...
