On my mind: arrving in Athens yesterday I recorded an upcoming Amateur Traveler episode on Nauru, Tuvalu and Kiribati. Quite a mental leap to jump from Greece travel mindset back to island hopping.
Events:
- Sign of thaw with Iran: American cellphones ringing in Tehran.
- The anti-helicopter parent’s plea: let kids play!
- Greek yogurt is no longer the trendiest yogurt.
Ideas:
- The case for outcast media.
- They’ve Got You, Wherever You Are.
- Duterte always loved communists – except when he was killing them.
Travels:
- A quick tour of the remotest island in the world.
- Air Canada opens new Maple Leaf Lounge at Newark Airport.
- Goodbye Antarctica: it’s been a fun dream.
Hacks:
- The essential Ritz-Carlton properties.
- Chase makes no notice change to annual fee refund policy.
- Etihad aligns tier benefits across all Etihad Airways Partner airlines.
