New York: Do As We Say, Not As We Do: Yoko Ono’s NYC Rooftop Edition

What’s that wise saying again? Ah yes, “do as we say, not as we do.” Never is it truer than in this case, where a Korean tourist wandered into a private condo building in New York City in order to access the roof for some scenic city photos. On his way down, he shared the elevator with Yoko Ono who lives in the building, and she called the cops on him. He is now being charged with criminal trespassing . However, what this tourist did is something that happens all the time in NYC, something which no one talks about but everyone does, and this is sneak to the rooftops of apartment buildings. We’ve got our own little roof garden secret spot, where the building security is lax and the views are stupendous, but you can be darn sure it’s not in a building filled with celebrities who might call 911 when they spy us chugging some Dunkin next to their 34th story daffodil planter.

Travelers need fast, free Internet connections — why can’t they get it?

I’m writing this from the Vista Café on Deck 4 of the Disney Dream. But itll probably take half an eternity to post it, because the “high speed” wireless connection on the ship is significantly slower than what I’m used to on dry land.

Even Santa Can’t Deliver a Boeing 787 in Time for Christmas

The only thing we know we’re not getting from Santa Claus this year is a trip on the Boeing 787 before the year is over. After many delays, the first commercial flights were pushed into 2011, and after a little bit of an in-flight emergency , it seems uncertain when things will finally fly next year. The brand new birds have been sitting on the ground for weeks now, but apparently it’s only going to be a few more days until they begin flying again to test every little switch and lever. However, even with the resumption of testing, there still hasn’t been any indication of when the first delivery to All Nippon Airways might take place. Boeing’s CEO hinted at something (like a new delivery date) coming out over the next few weeks, so we’ll let you know when to mark your calendars—just be sure to use pencil!
