· Everyone has an opinion on the recent shake ups at Midwest Airlines.
· JetSetCD isn't surprised that Cedar Point is the best amusement park in the US:
How can it not win? I practically grew up on the Bluestreak.
· Meanwhile juliana is more likely to visit Cedar Point than the rumored new Six Flags Tampa:
We used to go [to Six Flags] every year for high school field trips.... It's an interesting place, let's put it at that. Oh yeah, and too many people in bikinis and cut-off shorts who shouldn't be wearing bikinis and cut-off shorts.
· And BS has another great airport make out spot:
Gravelly Point park in DC/Nova is a similarly cool place to watch the planes go by reeeally close overhead.
Short week. Summer. Friday. Yeah, we're about ready to start the weekend, too. But before we head out for some adventures, we're taking a little inspiration from this awesome "photo-romain" of New York City.
Meanwhile, for those of you dreading a Saturday and Sunday in front of the computer, have no fear: Weekend Editor Victor Ozols has a special something planned for the next couple days!

To fans of the New England Patriots, a new season means a new chance to go undefeated and make Eli Manning's Boy Scout face go far, far away. For us, it's an opportunity to see if Foxboro retailers' bid to liven up the town around Gillette Stadium actually works.
The regular-season home opener for the Pats is Sunday. Since Patriot Place hasn't opened yet, if you hit our hot spots now maybe you won't need glove warmers--'cause you'll be holding hands with someone who isn't Pat Patriot!]]>
Jaunted attended the Entourage Air wheels up party at JFK yesterday and wound up in Vegas. (How Entourage of us, huh?) Oh, and we Twittered the whole thing.
We tried to channel Queens Boulevard Era Billy Walsh for the photo gallery below. After the jump, find our full party report.

If you're headed to San Diego for one of two film festivals in the next few weeks, then there's something else to add to your itinerary. A new exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego features works from artists that have spent time in World Heritage Sites around the globe.
The exhibit, Human/Nature: Artists Respond to a Changing Planet, concentrates on the environment. For example, artist Mark Dion stalked reptiles in Komodo National Park in Indonesia. Other artists visited the Atlantic Forest South-East Reserves in Brazil and the Galápagos Islands in Ecuador for inspiration.
If you're interested in a visit, the feature is running through early 2009. Admission into the museum will cost you $10, includes access to the museum's permanent collections as well.

There's no doubt that scuba diving is one of the most amazing ways to experience the ocean. But you can't just jump in off a dock with a tank of air and start exploring, and pre-dive safety training isn't exactly our idea of a vacation. Snorkeling is a pretty good stand in but lacks that adventurous feeling. That's where Snuba comes in.
Snuba combines the best of snorkeling and diving into an underwater sport that allows anyone to enjoy the sights up to 20 feet below the ocean's surface. You're always connected to an air tank that sits above the water and you aren't weighed down by cumbersome diving gear.
Experiences with Snuba are available in Florida, Hawaii and many of the Caribbean Islands. If you're going somewhere warm with sandy beaches, odds are that you'll be able to find a tour guide to take you under.
