Airport Meals: App Meets Your Appetite

If you’re tired of in-flight fast-unfrozen meals, at many major airports today, you now have internet access to an app that offers a variety of food choices. You can order freshly-prepared restaurant meals, rather than buying those often unappetizing platters in flight.

By using the B4 You Board app while on your way or already at the airport, you’ll get the order delivered to you at your gate. It will be all wrapped up and ready to take aboard your flight, If there’s a schedule delay and you need to stay close to the gate, you’ll be able to dine on a well-prepared quality meal while you wait.

Prices vary, according to the restaurant and ingredients you order. To get the service, simply download the B4 YOU BOARD app from the App Store or the Android Market, and follow the simple instructions and menu choices. There is no charge for the app.

Las Vegas NV: Famed Bellagio Fountains Honored PDF Print E-mail


Whenever we visit Las Vegas, we always make time for a special activity. It’s usually around midnight, and we stroll the sidewalk along the beautiful dancing fountains in front of the Bellagio Resort on the Strip.

As we admire the beautiful designs and colors of the enormous display, hidden speakers along the way play familiar music. Our favorite is Frank Sinatra singing, “Luck Be A Lady” from Broadway’s “Guys And Dolls”. The acoustics are so lifelike, we often stop and imagine Frank is right there singing just for us.

Travel website TripAdvisor apparently agrees with us about the Bellagio fountains. It recently named them the No. 1 landmark in the US. Scholars and historians could argue with the choice, because below the fountains on the list were such historic landmarks as Gettysburg National Military Park, the USS Arizona Memorial in Honolulu and New York City’s Top of the Rock Observation Deck.

Next time you’re in Sin City, add a stroll along the fountains to your itinerary, preferably when Sinatra’s voice fills the night air. Unlike just about everything else in the expensive town, the experience is absolutely free.
