Zurich on a layover

Sure, just when I think that I won't have a lot of time to make a travel post, I discover one today!  And in my preferred city no less...

posts and a grill

Needless to say, I feel bad that my posts of "place of the day" have curtailed recently.  I've been swamped with finishing up my final PhD classes as well as working on my dissertation proposal (which is near completion so I can defend it) that was delayed due to some scheduling complications with my advisor.  Once that is all wrapped up, the Place of the Day posts shall return.  My bucket list is pretty long, as I reflect on those I've already made a highlight.

One thing I enjoy while traveling though is grilling - whether that be at a restaurant or planning it out ahead.  As I currently have no grill and recently passed through a residential area that smelled of many grills, I find myself longing for a grill. 

Maybe my travels in the short term will lead me to finding one of my own.

Or, there's always this.

Best and worts airports

I do quite a bit of flying each year, and have to say that I'm usually pretty impressed with the airports I fly to.  The larger ones (LAX, ORD, HOU for example) have much more to do to keep clean and orderly, while other smaller ones have put together extremely clean and well kept concourse areas (PVD, MSN to name a few). 

Do you agree with some of the following?

It's important to note that his survey only took into account the 22 major airports in the U.S.

Qatar Video

Can't claim any credit for this, other than seeing it through a friend - but wanted to share since it's so excellent!
