The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Hey,
good news. If you feel like you don't spend enough time on planes,
you can now stay in a Bowing seven twenty seven balanced on top of a
jungle treehouse and it comes with ocean views. Yeah. Former Boeing seven twenty
seven has been built in the canopy of the jungle in Manuel Antonio National Park
in Costa Rica. This overlooks the Pacific Ocean and is regularly visited by monkeys.
The Bowing seven twenty seven treehouse not only has two bedrooms and two bathrooms,
but you're fifty feet over the jungle. The inside of the plane has
been decorated using lovingly restored local teak, resulting in beautiful wood paneling fuselage with
three queen size beds. You don't need to set an alarm, the monkeys
will wake you up. This thing isn't cheap. It is a running like
seven fifty dollars a night depending on the exchange rates at the moment. There's
also the private jet Villa in Bally that combines the luxury of nineteen fifties air
travel with stunning scenery. That plane was once part of them Mandela Airlines fleet.
That jet was taken apart, quote like Lego, transported to its new
spot and put back together. That one's a little smaller when it's a plane
and not a hotel. It'll hold only around one hundred and fifty passengers.
Hey, if you like plane so much, wantn't you charter a private jet
to fly your great Dane around the world. That's what Melanie and Albert did.
It only cost around ninety six thousand dollars. Yeah. Millian and Albert
dreamed of traveling Europe with their three dogs. Lucas he's two, Cooper,
the Golden Retriever's fifteen. Little Brooklyn is a dashound six years old. They
have visited six countries so far, including France, Germany, Austria, Czechia,
England and Scotland. They stay at dog friendly airbnb's and plan to keep
going until November and then they'll head back home to Austin. Melanie said getting
the dogs from the US to Europe took a lot of planning, but we
couldn't leave them at home. We want to see the world with them.
It took three months of planning, cost eleven thousand dollars per person over one
hundred thousand for the whole flight. But now the dogs have seen Iris,
Prague, Vienna and we're planning to drive around the Scottis Highlands. I think
the dogs really enjoy it. People on social media ask why we didn't leave
them at home. The dogs might not know where they are, but they
love exploring new places. It's about having them with us and making memories.
Sitting at the foot of the Eiffel Tower and seeing them roll on the grass,
or at the Christmas markets or running on the beach in Edinburgh. It's
all just incredible. Hey, good news if you lost her Victorian ring,
because it made its way back to you after a chance encounter on Facebook.
Jemma found the silver ring thirty four years ago. It had two mysterious names
on it. She kept it in a safe and hoped to reconnect it with
its owner. One day, she kind of forgot about it, and then
late last year she stumbled across the ring again. She decided to go on
ancestry dot com. The ring was inscribed with the names Vincent and Walter Hand
and their birth and death dates. The date show that Vincent passed away when
he was just two years old due to tuberculosis. Months later, Walter fell
victim of the same disease. Jemma explained, eight year old May just thought
it was too sad to be melted down. It meant something to somebody.
It really struck me that it would have been such a heartbreak for a woman
to lose a child so young. I always hoped to know who would belonged
to, and I thought it was so sad that whoever she lost, those
people so close together, and one of them so young. Jemma went digging.
She found the ring belongs to a lady named Hannah Hand. She was
on Facebook, so on the name Hand in a group about her hometown.
She contacted the post author discovered he's married to Susan Girard, who's the great
great granddaughter of Hannah Hand. The ring was a family heirloom. The ring
is now back with the family. That's awesome. Are you having trouble sleeping?
Maybe you're picking the wrong music. Previous research suggested that slower, low
tempo music with non danceable rhythms was most likely aid with sleep, but a
new research study from the Arhus University in Denmark says June at all wrong.
They found that upbeat, catchy pop songs might be better for you. They
analyzed a total of two hundred and twenty five six hundred and twenty six songs
from nine hundred and eighty five playlists on Spotify that are associated with sleep.
They split the tracks in a six distinct subcategories. These subcategories aligned with typical
characteristics of sleep music slow, low tempo, acoustic, no lyrics. The
other three subcategories feature music faster and higher energy, such as Dynamite by betts
Cia Vibe. Jasperson, PhD, co author of the study, said it
was surprising to see the degree of variation within the music that people used for
sleep. Based on previous studies, we were expecting the music to be from
many different genres, but I hadn't anticipated that much variation. Doctor Michael Scullen
said music listening could serve as a distraction from internal thoughts and ruminations. It
could fill your head with tunes rather than your worries. I am Patty Callahan,
