University Club, Boston, MA USA

The joy we all got from watching my 2 year old son interact with reptiles and curious creatures at the University Club in Boston on a Saturday morning was hard to compete with. I think he loved the turtle the most, although the tarantula was extremely cool (and he got a kick out of seeing […]

Favorite Bistro, Las Vegas, NV USA

I couldn’t believe I was at an event with ~1000 other tourism professionals in Las Vegas less than 24hrs after a late-night wedding.

There was so much to celebrate just around that notion, I almost didn’t need my daily Starbucks at Logan airport. I don’t recall the last time I flew […]
