Farmers Market, LAX Airport, Los Angeles CA USA

Spirit airlines changed my flight time 12 times in the 24 hours leading up to the departure. From being delayed 10 minutes, to 90 minutes, to 29 minutes, to 30 minutes, back down to 10 minutes, up to 45 minutes, then back on time, I was finally at the airport looking at a timely takeoff. […]

InterContinental Hotel, Cartagena de Indias, Bolivar, Colombia

Cartagena couldn’t have been more different than Bogota. And wow was I happy to have landed here for 4 nights. Love Cartagena.

But who cares – I was teeming with excitement […]

Suiran, Kyoto, Japan

Soooooo much sightseeing. Our feet were aching from miles and miles of walking through the narrow streets of Kyoto. Halfway through our trip and at least 12 solid Japanese meals in, my body (and mind) needed something satisfying in a different way. Our first day away from Hokkaido, I used points to book us at […]

W Hotel, Austin, TX USA

SXSW is a nonstop event. It’s hard to describe the experience, but essentially, major mainstream/well-known b2c “tech” companies (and I use the word “tech” loosely) have events throughout the city over a 10 day period, and visitors hop from one destination to another, absorbing as much as they can. Half a million attendees, lots of […]
