Best Flight Compensation Options
In the evolving landscape of the airline industry, a notable trend is the increasing use of payment-delaying tactics by airlines to avoid flight compensation. Various factors, including financial pressures and operational challenges, drive this trend. Airlines, facing tight margins and unforeseen costs, often resort to delaying payments, especially regarding compensations for flight delays, cancellations, and other service disruptions. This strategy serves as a short-term financial buffer for them but can significantly inconvenience passengers awaiting flight compensation payment. The practice affects customer satisfaction and complicates the compensation process, leading passengers to seek assistance from organizations like AirHelp and Flightright. These companies…

The Glacier Express: The Swiss Alpine Wonderland
I have recently published my book: “Unforgettable Train Journeys Across the Globe: Rails and Wonders.” You can order it on Kindle here. I thought I would share one of the chapters here with you. We never did the Glacier Express in Switzerland, but we finally did go on the Jungfrau Railway in 2010. The Jungfrau Railway in the Swiss Alps is a cogwheel railway known as the Jungfraubahn in German. It transports visitors from the picturesque village of Kleine Scheidegg to the Jungfraujoch, often referred to as the “Top of Europe.” The journey took us through tunnels and steep mountain…
Washington DC Landmarks and Oak Leaves
I was so glad to be going back to Washington, DC. I can’t believe that it’s been almost 20 years. I’ve always loved the city, even if, at times, it seems a bit contrived. The DC Landmarks, cleanliness, architectural consistency, and free museums make it a great place to visit. Although it mainly focuses on American experiences and history, it is still quite enjoyable. It’s pretty apparent to me that it’s due to cold weather when I enjoy a vacation or trip a little bit less. Well, that certainly wasn’t the case this past week. We had a couple of…
Ageism – It’s A Matter of Time
Do I really look that old? As we were coming through security in Washington DC, the gentleman, a little older as well, asked me if I was 75. I answered no and asked him if I looked 75. Then I realized he was trying to be courteous as once you hit 75; you don’t have to take your shoes off going through security. However, I remained offended. Now I realize I’m looking older, but haven’t I got a great hairstyle and dropped 20 kilos? I don’t dress frumpy. I know I have a lot of flabby skin that I try…
Iconic Exterior Staircases of Montreal
Montreal’s signature exterior staircases are not just architectural elements; they are woven into the city’s cultural and historical fabric. These staircases, primarily found in neighbourhoods like Plateau-Mont-Royal and Mile End, have become emblematic of Montreal’s unique architectural identity. Origins: Practical Design Choices The origins of these staircases are rooted in practicality and efficient use of space. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as Montreal experienced rapid urbanization, there was a need to maximize living spaces within the constraints of narrow lots. Placing staircases outside allowed for more interior living space and helped reduce construction costs. Influence of Climate…
