It can comfortably fly 10,000 Miles (16,000 km) at Mach 0.88 or 654 mph (1,046 km/h) with 1000 passengers on board ! They have kept this secret long enough. This shot was taken last month by an amateur photographer. Boeing is preparing this 1000 passenger Jet Liner that could reshape the A ir Travel Industry….
The Freddies have been awarded (I cast my ballot too) and I would have an idea – not that anyone asked for my opinion – but I cannot help it. The voting should be only for qualified travellers, the super-voters, if I might call them like that, travellers who have been using different airlines and hotels.

I came across an article that says: “Not eating for 12-16 hours can help people quickly reset their sleep-wake cycle, according to a study from the Harvard Medical School.

I travel every week and most of the time I do not sleep properly. So I bought the app as it was only $0.99 and #1 paid app position in many countries, including Germany, Japan, France and Russia (so many people cannot be wrong). How it works (from the Sleep Cycle site) Have you ever woken up…
“My country is not a country, it is winter.” I read this quote at the Musée de la civilisation from Quebec City and I liked it. I was there at the beginning of April and it was cold (very by my standards). The Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré is situated 30 kilometres (19 mi) east of Quebec City….
Even if I said in my other blog Why I Stopped Reading the Business Section I didn’t have anything better to do so I read the business section a few days ago and an article drew my attention.
