Are You A Superstitious Traveler?

Do you allow your fear of the numbers 13 and 666, black cats, and broken mirrors influence your travel plans? If you answered yes, you’re not alone. Recently, workers at Brussels Airlines learned just how many of their customers hold tightly to their “irrational” beliefs.

According to the company, a short time later it was flooded with complaints from superstitious customers in the United States and Italy. … Continue reading →

Friday the 13th and Travel

The head of the city’s taxi commission says he will not be getting rid of taxi medallion No. 666, regardless of the fact that some riders refuse to patronize a cab bearing the number of Satan. A cab driver who had “666” assigned to him last year recently asked the agency to retire the number because it had brought him nothing … Continue reading →

Is May an Unlucky Month to Get Married?

May is both a spring and a summer month depending on where you are located. June may be the most popular month for marriage (the month being named for Juno, Roman goddess of marriage and wife to Jupiter), but I know many people who wed in May. In fact, one lovely couple that happens to be very good friends of mine are celebrating seventeen years of marriage … Continue reading →
