1 Dinkette Down, 1 To Go

It’s a banner day, dahrlings! After suffering the ignominies of working for 2 testosterone laden, tiara loving, tee-heeing, nincompoopsies over here at the Jaw – one them is retiring! (Not as in ‘she’s shy and soft-spoken’. As if.) I mean…

Sesquiquoi?

Apparently the federal government is spending ½ a billion dollars on some kind of 150-year old sasquatch because it’s Canadian. They bought a red couch to celebrate. (I have no idea why, but it seems to be a ‘thing’ with…

Is It Over??

Well, dear Pumpkins, it’s another year come and gone like a snow flake on a warm bosom. None of us will be happier to see its backside more than I. You couldn’t write a movie script to equal the 2016…

Stop The Presses!

This just in, Pumpkins: research has uncovered a primal head scratcher that travel professionals have pondered for decades. Yes, dahrlings, the question of what really pisses off travellers has been answered. You’re probably thinking “I know! I know!” “It’s the…

Rumour Has It…

The birth of a Travel Nation has spawned the birth of a sale. Yes, Pumpkins, I have it on woolly authority that Jonathan Carrol has done it again.  Travel Nation Canada is rumoured to have been acquired by Seekda. What is…

Why can’t they say what they mean?

Thank God for Google, pumpkins. One of the ditzy dinkettes called me in a panic yesterday, saying she had received a press release but simply could not understand what it meant. Clearly she was fearing early onset cognitive dementia, and…

My device is charging

I love the fact that airlines are installing AC outlets right at your seat, Pumpkins. You see, I travel with a number of devices (what used to be quaintly called marital aids) and I like to have them charged and…

I Can’t Find My Tribe

GDS company Amadeus has released a ‘whitepaper’ (apparently that’s one word now), the 4th in a series dubbed Amadeus Future Traveller Tribes 2030. Highly sophisticated data-crunchers (I picture hipsters on couches eating kale chips) have identified 6 traveller ‘tribes’ “expected…

A Celebrity Worth Celebrating

Talk about creating waves, Pumpkins. Going against the tide. Making a splash. Wading into hot waters. A cruise line goes political! So much better than going postal, like the debating duffus Hillary had to face last night.  Celebrity Cruises is…

Pyjama Party

Remember, dahrlings, when airlines roared “I am the fairest because of my great fares!” “No, me! I have perfect seat pitch!” “But I’m much more rewarding after a long ride”. And meow it went. Nowadays, PJ’s are where the tread hits…
