TRAVEL IS: an addiction that no pill will cure. Only another adventure can scratch that itch. ~ JD Andrews

i’m all for drinking a cold brew or shot-gunning one for that matter but how about sleeping in one?

if you ever find yourself in Lake Skanderborg,Denmark – you can rest your head inside a giant 6-pack of beer! this message was brought to my attention by [twitter-follow screen_name= ‘areadaily’] CHEERS!!

flash mob fun from 38,000 feet above

[twitter-follow screen_name= ‘loladimarco’]

not that i’m trying to jinx my st. christopher’s traveling good fortune but nothing out of the ordinary or eventful ever happens when i fly. i hope that when i make the long journey to Hawaii this coming winter this flash mob decides to entertain our coach cabin too!!! check it out!

reporting by AOL Travel Staff

Hawaiian Airlines is the latest airline to host on-board entertainment that’s not an in-flight movie. 

Na Lei Hulu I Ka Wekiu, a San Francisco-based Hawaiian hula school, performed a traditional Hawaiian dance on a San Francisco to Honolulu flight on July 14.

The airline played the requisite hula music over the plane’s speakers as the performers rose from their seats and joined the “flash mob” in performing to “Ke Aloha,” a Hawaiian song, followed by “I Left My Heart In San Francisco” (get it?).

This is perhaps the most mellow of all the flash mobs we’ve seen recently (though that’s essentially the point).

Others have simply drawn more attention to themselves while at the airport, from a breakout dance party at Beirut Airport’s duty free shopping area, to WORLD ORDER’s show of support for post-tsunami Japan, to Air Canada’s sponsored Christmas extravaganza at the Vancouver Airport back in December.

Q2)What’s on your playlist for a long journey? Travel theme song?
Q3)Musician you’d love to be stuck in paradise with?
Q4)Dream band to tour with? Stop you would make? Instrument?
Q5)Favorite music/musician you’ve discovered while traveling?
Q6)Song about a destination that embodies the place?
Q7)Worst concert you’ve ever seen? Why was it awful?
Q8)Favorite musician/group that’s not from your home country?
Q9)Best music festival you’ve been to? Where?
Q10)“We gotta get outta this place”- Music that makes you want to leave…?
**to see answers to the above questions and the inspiration for the list go to zipsetgo.com
