A massive landslide dropped a mountainside of dirt and rocks on the Pacific Coast Highway 1 in rural southern Monterey County, California this past weekend. The highway is buried under 40 feet of debris for 1/4 to 1/2 mile and will likely be closed for more than one year for repairs. Highway 1 had already…
The Monterey Peninsula gets some serious tourism with a couple million visitors throughout the year. Tourism here peaks June to August, but May is still relaxing for me in the weeks before the crowds pick up and travelers fill the coastal walking paths. As a local Monterey resident, I headed three miles down the coast…
A fare war started last week continues between the three major alliances. Oneworld and SkyTeam strike Austrian and Swiss Air cities with low fares in the $400s from California airports LAX, SFO and SJC Graz, Innsbruck, Salzburg and Vienna in Austria, along with Basel and Zurich, Switzerland. SkyTeam services Graz and Oneworld services Innsbruck, Salzberg…
The last few days were one of those periods when airfares in California were anomalously lower from regional airports like my hometown Monterey MRY, with lower airline ticket prices to Europe than airfare from Los Angeles LAX and San Francisco SFO/San Jose SJC. These kinds of fare sales have happened a couple times this year…
This is an update on the nationwide fare sale with American, Delta and United to Europe for travel from August through March 2017 that is now going on 48 hours or so.

United Airlines has a major deep discount sale to Europe with ticket prices in the $600s and low $700s from California regional airports serviced by United Express. This is a rare opportunity to book United Airlines tickets from California regional airports to Europe for about the same price, and sometimes an even lower price, than…
As I study airfares today during day one of a major USA-wide sale by American, Delta and United to Europe-wide destinations, I finally got around to looking at my home base of Monterey, California. Tickets to Europe for travel from late August to March 2017 are on sale today across the USA for about $500…
United Airlines with fares in low $600s to Barcelona, Paris, Madrid and Rome from California regional airports like my home base of Monterey MRY are far from the norm for California, even in this age of low fuel prices. One of the most significant aspects of the sudden low fares from the USA to dozens…
Club Carlson is offering 15,000 bonus points for one stay at a Park Inn hotel in the Americas between September 30 and December 31, 2015. There are 16 participating hotels. This is not as lucrative an offer as the 44,000 points deal a few years ago, but sufficient incentive to send me to Fresno again.…
Monterey is one of the great places in the world to be from late December through January. The gray whale migration is the longest migration of any mammal at around 10,000 miles from the summer feeding grounds in the Bering Sea of northern Alaska to the winter breeding and calving lagoons on the western coast…
