It\u2019s easy to get slumped and hunched in a bad posture situation. You can set your laptop on two stacks of books or food storage containers to get the screen level with your eyes, but then how do you type? The solution is a portable Bluetooth keyboard that folds up small for travel. I use&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/keyboard-n\">this one that\u2019s currently 30 bucks<\/a>&nbsp;and it goes for days between charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Taking the Ferry to\/from Baja<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Three days a week you can fly direct from mainland Mexico to the Baja Peninsula, but there\u2019s another option where you can go on an overnight ferry ride instead. I took it between Mazatlan and La Paz a few weeks ago. It\u2019s a vehicle ferry, which could save you more than 3,000 kilometers of driving. Here\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheapestdestinationsblog.com\/2024\/05\/08\/ferry-from-mazatlan-to-la-paz\/\">a detailed post I wrote about it<\/a>\u00a0if you\u2019re interested, with a video tour to show what the experience was like. (Or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/O4tOUQ_md5Q?si=H6yvlkG9kRbwJDpr\">go to YouTube here<\/a>\u00a0for the video only.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>A $35 Billion New Airport in Dubai<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dubai\u2019s airport is reportedly the world\u2019s busiest in terms of passengers, with 87 million coming and going last year. The ruling family thinks that\u2019s too small, so they\u2019re going to spend $35 billion (if they keep to the budget) to build&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/travel\/news\/dubai-plans-to-move-its-busy-international-airport-to-a-35-billion-new-facility-within-10-years\/ar-AA1nNNTd\">a brand new airport<\/a>&nbsp;with 5 parallel runways, 400 gates, and a capacity of 250 million annual passengers. It is scheduled to take a decade. \u201cAs we build an entire city around the airport in Dubai South, demand for housing for a million people will follow,\u201d Dubai&#8217;s ruler said. \u201cIt will host the world\u2019s leading companies in the logistics and air transport sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>The Best of the Worst: U.S. Airlines Survey<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apparently the way to please customers is\u2026 be nice to them. And take care of your employees. Southwest Airlines came out on top a third year in a row in the latest J.D. Power and Associates&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jdpower.com\/business\/press-releases\/2024-north-america-airline-satisfaction-study\">customer satisfaction survey<\/a>&nbsp;on 9 U.S. and 2 Canadian airlines, despite some rough patches they had last year with canceled flights. That was for economy class, where Delta came in second and the other legacy airlines were beat out by budget carrier Allegiant. Delta topped the business class category and JetBlue was second. Air Canada was last in two of three categories: business and premium economy. Frontier was last in economy (472 out of 1,000), where even Spirit topped them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nomadico issue #104 (Two-year birthday!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[2385],"tags":[2386],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42222"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42222"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42222\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42223,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42222\/revisions\/42223"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42222"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42222"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42222"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
