Greetings from Chicago. I spent the earlier part of this week in Tampa and am now enjoying the summer weather in the Windy City. I’m home for more than a week, which is rare for me. This week in travel news we saw a pilot busted in San Francisco, some new lounges, my reviews of a few hotels, and much more.
