Piedras Y Olas or Pelican Eyes is located in the charming fishing village of San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, offering so many luxe experiences, you want to clone yourselves, so you can be in two places at once. Our dilemma: too many tempting options. Fresh tropical drinks, quesadillas and homemade cerviche in the upstairs infinity pool bar overlooking the Pacific? Dinner at their spectacular restaurant La Cascada? Or have something yummy sent up to our deluxe 2-story casita with a private infinity pool under the stars overlooking the ocean (under swaying palms). Comprised of several tranquil gardened terraces, pools, and a sweeping ocean view from every corner, this place doesn’t have a bad angle. Head into town to experience the bustle of a busy fishing village with plenty of vibrant local color. Consider a sailing adventure to explore the nearby volcanoes of Isla Ometepe aboard the 42’ Pelican Eyes. Enjoy 8 hours of sailing, exploring, and a barbequed lunch on the beach with a rum punch midday. When in San Juan, you only need to keep your eyes on the Pelican!

Each morning, my In Box is filled with travel offers of every variety, but there is only one guy I really trust, he’s not for sale, and is as incorruptible as the day is long: enter, The Cranky Flier.

To quote The Observer: “There’s nowhere for airlines to hide these days,” and aptly named The Cranky Flier to be one of the world’s “50 most powerful blogs.” The information is scrupulously researched and documented, and you can tell this man, Brett Snyder, aka “Cranky” is a true believer in the magic of flight (in a Ralph Nader sort of way), but also casts a cold eye on what he believes could be improved because he loves so much. Case in point: he asked his grandmother to take him to an airport hotel to watch the planes land for his 12th birthday. His resume is packed with a variety of airline jobs and which gives him the insider knowledge about what really happens when the cabin door closes. From spiraling baggage handling costs, lost luggage, insurance issues, planes that should retire, and who’s got the very best deals, Brett’s got your back.

He’s also a writer’s writer, penning short, pithy, missives with a droll, detached style, and dash of curmudgeon. He’s credible, he leads by example, and expects others to do the same. The Cranky Flyer is indeed, the tail wagging the dog in the airline industry and should be your co-pilot on every trip you take moving forward. Especially the trip that matters most: your honeymoon!

Excerpted from www.crankyflier.com:

My name is Brett, and I’m an airline dork. I’ve had the bug since I was young. As a kid, I never missed a chance to go to LAX and pick up airline timetables. My grandmother even took me to an airport hotel for my birthday one year so I could watch the planes land. By the age of 12, I had become a travel agent. Soon after I was volunteering at Traveler’s Aid. Since that time, I’ve worked in several places in the industry. In the interest of full disclosure, here is everything I’ve done in an official capacity:

USAir Sales Intern (1996-1997)
America West Sales Intern (1997-1999)
United Dulles Operations Intern (1999)
America West Pricing Analyst/Sr Analyst/Manager (1999-2002)
