Google flight search
I start my search for flights using Google.
Since you cannot buy your ticket via Google, I normally buy the ticket from the airline I want to fly itself.
Google is rolling out even more cool ways to plan flights. Check this out.

sleeping in airports
I slept over at the Vancouver airport twice last week. The life of a Jet-setter. 🙂
With my camping air mattress, I sleep better than this paranoid.
Not as well as this guy.
I love catching the first flight of the day because they are more likely to leave on time. Less likely to make me miss a connection.

cycling with Rockin’
Stopping in Vancouver en route to my parent’s place, Rockin’ Ronnie and I got out on the bikes two days in a row.
First, his favourite local ride – the Fisherman’s Trail.
He’d never seen it so green, so overgrown. It was solstice.
Next day we rode over the bridge to Stanley Park, the #1 urban park in the world on some lists.
We met friends for a light lunch on Granville Island.
That’s Edible Canada, one of the best of many fine Granville eateries.
From there we looped busy False Creek.
It doesn’t get much better than Vancouver on a sunny day.
And it’s always sunny when I visit Vancouver. 🙂
cycling Vegas
With Red Rock Canyon, terrific weather (even in June) and an extensive network of bike pathways in the suburbs, cycling is one of my favourite things to do in Lost Wages.

Uber disrupting the taxi industry
I hate taxis. 😦
And would love to support ANY alternative.
Uber sounds great. 🙂
Uber is a venture-funded startup and transportation network company based in San Francisco, California, that makes mobile apps that connects passengers with drivers of vehicles for hire and ridesharing services. …
Uber has been accused in several jurisdictions of illegal taxicab operation. …
On 11 June 2014, in a concerted action, taxis blocked roads in major European cities in protest against what they perceive as a threat to their livelihood by companies such as Uber. The cabbies contended that Uber and similar smartphone app-based services have an unfair advantage because they’re not subjected to the same kinds of fees and regulations placed on taxis. …
Google is one of the biggest investors.
Uber is not always the faster, cheaper option. But it will be, eventually.
