The promise is great. Earn your miles on one airline and reap the rewards regardless of the carrier. So when I fly 50,000 or 100,000 miles on United, I should get the benefits on Lufthansa, and the other Star Alliance partners as well. But it doesn't always work out that way. I flew today from Sydney to Los Angeles on United and got bumped up to Business. But the rest of the flight back to Amsterdam...

Kathy Sierra has a recent post about how nice it is to see a sign that tells you to do what most signs tell you not to do. There is a sign at the entrance to the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney that asks you to please DO walk on the grass. Thats a great sign. But in that same city I saw two signs that were very different on my last trip there. Both had a common theme: don't do something, but if...

Its actually quite an amazing list. Yesterday I saw the massive sea-going vessels at the Viking Ship Museum and traditional Norwegian homes at the Norwegian Folk Museum , both in Oslo, Norway. Last week I saw aboriginal art...

I have been in Sydney, Australia now for about 2 weeks, though this was the first weekend I could see anything. A colleague asked me a week ago what I thought of the city. At that point I had only seen my mediocre hotel (Sheraton Four Points at Darling Harbor), our offices in Rosebery, and a customer’s office in North Ryde. Based on that I felt it wasn’t a very livable city…meaning...

At the end of next week I am traveling again. This time I head to Singapore for a week, then Melbourne for a week, Canberra for a week, and Sydney for a week. Not really sure what I want to do while I am there (apart from teach a few Captaris classes). Does anyone have any recommendations for me? Is there anything I have to do while I am there? Looking out to July, I am also heading to Oslo, Bangkok...
