The countdown clock is ticking–Super Bowl Sunday is almost here–got to stock up on the chips and dip! Wishing a great game to all the fans traveling to Tampa for the Super Bowl, and for all, here’s a bit of sunny Florida in this 1961 Delta postcard:

It’s hard to believe, but January’s almost over and, uh-oh, Valentine’s Day is coming up quick. Traditionally, it’s a day to shower your significant other with gifts to show the depth and breadth of your love. This year, it can also be your chance to show Mother Earth you care by making some eco-friendly choices. Yes, Green is the new red. And Cupid loves Green.
For gift ideas, how about presenting your amour with organic roses (pesticide- and preservative-free, of course)? Or surprising your sweetest with a romantic (soy) candlelight dinner (just think of the energy you’ll save while you’re upping the romance quotient), served with a local organic wine? Or taking reduce/reuse/recycle to a new level by purchasing a beautiful and unique piece of estate jewelry (think cuff links, signet ring, pendant or bracelet)? Want more ideas? Do what I did and check out Jodi Helmer’s book The Green Year, in which she shares 365 simple and inexpensive Green living ideas that can have a big environmental impact.
Starting small while thinking big is a great way to go Green. There are lots of things we can all do in our daily lives to make a difference. Sometimes, it may mean stepping out of our comfort zones or taking the time to experiment or try new things. Recently, Sky’s longtime Atlanta-based contributor, Jonathan Lerner, took his next step, challenging himself to give up his own car for two weeks and join the car-share nation. Check out his Green Scene story in this month’s issue.
Do you have easy, doable ideas for going Green? We’d love for you to share them!

As many of you know, it’s almost the off-season for the NFL. The season hasn’t gone as great as I would have liked but we’ve fought through a bunch of injuries and we’re going to rebound in 2009.
With the off-season comes some free time. I’m looking at planning some vacations and want to bounce some things off you guys out there. I’m thinking Mexico. Ever been? Have any great recommendations? I’ve been to Cabo before but I want to find some place that’s nice, low key and doesn’t get too much tourist traffic. I’d like a place that my wife and I can eat great food, lounge on the beach and just relax Any thoughts? I’d love to hear them.
In addition, I’d like to plan a hunting trip. Does anyone out there know of a good place to hunt white tail that is NOT in the Midwest? I’m looking for a place somewhere near California. Does Oregon or Washington have any white tail? Help me out with some recommendations!
Even though I’m going to be traveling, I’m still able to find time to work out. For all you travelers out there who can’t always make it to the gym, I highly recommend that you do some research on yoga and Pilates. My wife is a Pilates instructor and she’s armed me with some great workouts when I’m on the road. Its primary focus is strengthening the core and, sometimes, all you need in order to make it work is a wall or a floor. On the road or at a Pilates studio, it’s definitely the way to go.
Thanks for following me this year! I’m looking forward to your feedback. Check out some past entries about life on the road, the five things I can’t travel without, and my favorite places. Or just browse around the Sponsorships category to read all of my posts.

N307DQ arrived last Friday. Check out my favorite of the shots below: “Delta 9901″ delivery flight from Boeing Field (BFI).
As you know, we upgraded our self-service kiosks last quarter to give you a quick and easy alternative to waiting in line for your boarding pass. However, some customers aren’t aware of just how much these little kiosks can do - checking bags, changing seats, paying fees, validating passports, etc.
The demo will launch soon at delta.com, so we wanted to give our most tech-savvy customers (you) a sneak peek to see what you think. Keep in mind the demo is designed to be helpful for people who have never used a kiosk before.
What do you think: Is our demo helpful? Would you share it with a friend or family member who has never used a kiosk?
Thanks for your thoughts as always!
