Welcome to September travel. I was born on September 30th, nine months after New Year’s Eve, do the math, more than likely alcohol was involved in my conception.

Three-quarters of the year has passed, and there’s no shortage of craziness.

Club vixens rob old man after romping in hotel room –

An elderly Florida man joined a long line of horndogs who have fallen prey to lusty ladies who seduce men at upscale Manhattan haunts before robbing them blind.

The 79-year-old ladies’ man was wining and dining at a Manhattan hotspot in May when he conked out and later found himself being pounced on by two busty bandits at the Loews Regency Hotel, cops said on Tuesday.

I’d hate to be that guy, but you’re 79 and from Florida, that equates to a target on your back. You’re not that “Sexy”, that Rolex or Audemars Piguet on your wrist, real or fake, more than likely it’ll be gone in the morning.

Airport baggage handler enjoys switching baggage tags for wrong destinations –

Tay Boon Keh has been charged with 286 counts of mischief, according to the Straits Times newspaper.
He swapped tags starting on 8 November every day for three months, the court heard. But no motive was given for the alleged crime.

How many times do I have to say it, there are two types of luggage, carry-on and checked. Possibly TBK wasn’t loved enough as a child, but apparently, in later life, he decided that swapping bag tags was his kink.

Deadman sat in truck for 8 months in airport parking lot before someone found him –

A dead body sat in a pickup truck for eight months in a parking lot at the Kansas City International Airport before someone discovered it.

There are two things that scream to me with this story. First, Randy Potter was 53, I turned 53 on September 30th. Second, no one realized that he was dead in an airport parking lot for eight months. It’s sad that Randy went to the airport and hadn’t returned for eight months. What’s sadder is that no one said, “Hey, it’s late August where the hell is Randy?”.

Pilot Spotted With Beer in the Cockpit –

A Jet2 passenger was shocked to find a can of beer inside the cockpit on a recent flight from Alicante, Spain to Birmingham, England.

It’s been a few years since I’ve landed in England, but I don’t recall seeing a beer holder in the cockpit. It seems that Stella Artois just might be the official beer of Jet2. Pilots + Alcohol = Monthly Post.

Guy Attacks Police Officers At Changi Airport, Gets Six Months In Jail –

If you’re going to act stupid at an airport, don’t do it in Singapore!

I believe that you can show up late for the prom and you can show up late, but you can’t do both, especially in Singapore. If you want to be an asshat, don’t do it in an airport, security doesn’t mess around.

Goat checks into La Quinta Inn – Two guys and a guy walk into a bar. One of my standard lines is that “La Quinta is Spanish for “Behind Denny’s”. However, La Quinta might stand for “Goat checks in”.

St. Regis bar booted me for my makeup and swanky outfit –

St. Regis bar booted A man who tried to grab a drink at a famed Manhattan bar wearing makeup and carrying a woman’s purse was ejected — but served when he later showed up in a tux, a lawsuit claims.

Andy Simon, 60, who describes himself as “an openly gay black man,” says he strutted into the St. Regis Hotel’s legendary King Cole bar last September in a $4,400 outfit that included “a long black silk Givenchy shirt, an Alexander McQueen evening shoe, a Rick Owens silk scarf and a lady’s clutch purse.” me for my makeup and swanky outfit

This link is an interesting read. Ever seen the movie Roadhouse? There’s a quote from Dalton,  “I want you to be nice until it’s time to not be nice.” I use this quote on a regular basis and in this case, it applies.

Nudist resorts welcome hurricane Irma evacuees across Florida–

The resort’s “take off as much as you are comfortable” policy will remain in effect, but there are not too many people walking around right now without clothes, he noted.

The Caliente Club, a nudist resort in Land O’Lakes, has also opened its doors to the public and currently has more than 100 non-members on site. In terms of accommodations the hotel has filled its 350 homes and 113 trailers, so the staff is now looking for other ways to welcome more evacuees.

Clothing or not all should be welcome, be it shelter or a house at the end of the street.

One Man. One mission. To live in Helsinki Airport for 30 days. – I’m all for living at an airport, there have been several times which I’ve uttered “I could live here”, especially on a Friday in the Centurion Lounge.

Iowa mom jailed after leaving kids for European jaunt – I’m a parent, and there have been countless times that I’ve wanted to get away from the little freaks. Wait, I’m already gone three to four nights each week. Seriously, four kids all under the age of twelve left by themselves, ever seen Home Alone?

There you have it, a small sampling of September travel craziness. Looking forward to October’s offerings.
