The Bathroom Diaries (www.thebathroomdiaries.com) is really more amusing than useful, because I don’t know if it will really be reliable when nature calls and you don’t have a phone or computer with you in whatever part of the world to reference the site. It lists and rates nearly 9,000 bathrooms throughout the US and 3,000 [...]

The news had poked around my radar, but I didn’t get confirmation of it until I went onto www.nwa.com to check my miles number only to have it redirected to Delta’s site. For a while, the two airlines had been operating together [...]
