Bumpetty Bump

Consumers are so spoiled, Pumpkins. They demand cheap flights and then they demand compensation for being bumped. Back in the day of passes and ID75’s, if one of us got bumped we knew to respond with “thank you, mistress,…

Let Them Smoke Crack!

Honestly, Pumpkins, I don’t know what to make of anything anymore. Everyone in travel is old (or worse, ‘oldish’), except for the young people. No one has sex (not surprising considering how old everyone is). There’s no money. And…

Travel Budget? We Don't Need No Stinking Travel Budget

We had a good thing going with those Senators, Pumpkins. Until some ethical goodie snot-shoes got involved. The Senate’s motto: “Travel budget? Pish!” were words to live by, Pumpkins. Money’s no object when spending the tax payers’. That’s democracy,…

The Morning After The Day Before

Lordie, Pumpkins, the day after Travel Agent Day is always such a pooper. Dixie cups and Bits & Bites all over the floor. Discarded paper flowers made from napkins. Ah, good times. I spoke to a few agents yesterday…

Looking For Groups In All The Wrong Places

Back in the days, Pumpkins, the Joneses would throw a cocktail party and bingo-bango – we’ve all got our clothes off and the group is on. A travel agent told me last night she hangs around her church basement hoping…

I've Got A Bee In My Bonnet

On the Sunquest front, dahrlings, the question on everybody’s mind is – where’s the product? There is nothing in the system past April. Either the docking technology for hooking into Fun Sun is clogged up, or the poor dears at…
