I spent one day in Washington DC this week and the rest of the time at home in Tampa, FL. I reviewed the Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort from our trip last month, one of the United Clubs℠, and covered lots of news around new routes, a new airline coming to the US, Frontier cut more than 40 routes, the LOT Polish lounge opened in Chicago, and ridiculous penalties being levied for stained towels.
