Turkey Trot

I’m off to Turkey for just over a week on a trip sponsored by Intrepid Travel. I’ll be tweeting along the way, so be sure to follow me. I’ll also be posting stories on Gadling about the trip. I’ll be trying my best to write from the road, but we all know how tricky that [...]

Westward, Ho!

I’m off to Jackson, WY for a couple of days and then driving up to Yellowstone National Park for the weekend. Looking forward to good people, fresh air and some wild game (both for viewing and eating). Expect some radio silence on the ol’ blog until I’m back in the big city. Know any hot [...]

Tacos are great (even the chocolate variety). To that end, I’m heading to Texas for the weekend. I’ll be in Austin until Sunday evening. Holler if you’re in town or if you have any good recommendations.

SkyRest Tests

I happen to be a tad obsessed with the SkyRest Travel Pillow. I even tested it on a plane, as it was intended. But what happens when I get tired during other activities? Planes aren’t the only places made for naps. So, as a public service, I will be testing the SkyRest Travel Pillow in [...]

And so it begins…

So, what the hell is the point of this site?  Well, I’ll be writing about travel, sharing interesting news and, above all, attempting to [...]
