ToiletSign Sign Spotting: Severe Weather in the Bathroom

I spotted this one at the Houston Airport during a layover, and I must say, after having Airport Tacos, the men’s room can certainly turn into a severe weather area! And the toilet bowl swirls just like indicated in the photo!

What’s On the Other Side of the “Welcome to Las Vegas Sign”

Hey Adventurers,

Everyone knows the “Las Vegas Welcome Sign“. It’s the famous sign located at the end of the strip. It seems like everyone that visits Vegas has to take their photo with this landmark. And every photo looks the same.

So it got me wondering… what’s on the other side of the sign. No one ever takes a picture of that! So I thought I’d show you.

How nice of Vegas to provide our departure with a gentle safety reminder! It’s unfortunate that no one ever takes a photo of this side of the sign. So I did and I’m sharing it with you.

One of the stops on my Great Alaskan Adventure was North Pole, AK. And while strolling through the parking lot, I spotted this symbol for the disability parking spaces.

Next Stop, Vegas: Speaking at the ASTA Travel Bloggers Show

VegasSign Next Stop, Vegas: Speaking at the ASTA Travel Bloggers Show

Hey Adventures,

Over the weekend I had the opportunity to speak at the Central Florida Bloggers Conference. It was a great afternoon meeting new bloggers, but more importantly, it was the perfect venue to get some feedback for an even bigger conference I’ll be speaking at in September…

ASTA Travel Blogger Show

The American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) is hosting their second Travel Blogger Show (with support from Tripatini). I had the pleasure of attending last year and learned quite a bit (like this and this). Now, a year later, I’ll be a featured speaker at the conference and will share all that I’ve learned over the past year.

What Symbols Represent America?

WelcomeUSA 300x225 What Symbols Represent America?

I was returning home from Vancouver via the U.S. Border Crossing in Washington State and encountered this sign. Iconic American landmarks welcomed our return home:

  • The U.S. Flag
  • The Statue of Liberty
  • The U.S. Capitol Building
  • Mount Rushmore
  • The Golden Gate Bridge
  • The Seattle Space Needle

While waiting for the endless queue to advance, I contemplated this sign for a bit. I suppose it’s because I do so much international travel, I don’t ever think about U.S. Travel. France has the Eiffel Tower, Australia the Opera House and Uluru, Egypt the Pyramids and the list goes on and on. But what represents America?

Hey Adventures,

I saw this photo while waiting for my helicopter tour of Victoria Falls in Zambia. It caught my attention, made me laugh and so I thought it might be fun to see what captions you could come up with. What do you think this sign is trying to say?

Sign Spotting: No Smoking by Skeletons

skeleton 300x225 Sign Spotting: No Smoking by Skeletons

I found this sign in South Africa in the same place where tampons weren’t allowed. Translated literally, this sign reads in Afrikaans, “Smoking Smokers Have Your Lungs Cooked”. We all know that literal translations never work. Our cultures use so many idiomatic expression that you just can’t translate like that.

Which is why, I think the sign reads, “Skeletons are not allowed to smoke”.

Has South Africa taken the no-smoking thing too far? Do you think skeletons should be allowed to smoke? Why or why not?  Share by commenting.
