I’ll have a more complete Weekly Round-up tomorrow, but here’s a brief one for your idle–or not so idle–Thursday. Lots of activity in the Middle East…
I’ve found SilkAir and Singapore Airlines to be very helpful when finding regional flights in Southeast Asia. It’s allowed me to hop around Asia and include a stop in Singapore for many trips. .

I can’t remember who taught me about the napkin button-hole. I think it was my father, after all, he took to the buttonhole napkin immediately on our last Lufthansa First Class flight. It is truly a marvelous invention, and I can tell you that many spills did not make it to my shirt because of…
