Flight Stats

Andrew is coming to visit this weekend and again I have turned to this handy website Flight Stats. It tells me if his flight is delayed, when it departs and when the plane touches down. The text messages it sends are a bit cryptic and the number of texts received per flight seem to vary. Other than that the site is intuitive and the service is reliable. I haven't used it for anything more than setting text alerts about incoming/departing flights but it has a lot of different functionality for the avid traveler. *** 1/2

Hunan Garden, Palo Alto

This place is great! The seating is indoor/outdoor. It has these great fish tanks built right into the walls on one side and the other is a big window that looks out to the peaceful garden. It is all very serene with just enough energy to make it feel like you should be having fun. The wait so far has been non existent, the service is friendly and efficient without being to pushy. The drinks here are great and very strong and a great price. The food is good too! I especially enjoy the Orange Chicken. If your looking for a place in Palo Alto to relax with some great food all for a decent price this is the place. ****
