InterContinental Century City, Los Angeles, CA USA

24 hours in LA.  I had some solid meetings lined up, but the original purpose of this trip was the Shoah Foundation 20th Anniversary Benefit Gala. I don’t recall ever having been to a gala before, so this would be a first. And a great one to lose my gala virginity to: hosted by Conan […]

101 Hotel, Reykjavik, Iceland

Why Iceland? Rachel and I only had one weekend during the first 6 months of 2014 to go away together. Our original thought was to travel to “The South” in America.

Quiznos, Palm Beach Airport, West Palm Beach, FL USA

We spent the weekend in Palm Beach County, Florida, where the highway speed limit matches the average age: 70. West Palm, to Palm Beach, to Palm Beach Gardens…. Everywhere looked the same, but I wasn’t complaining… February in Boston is quite cold, and a quick 3 hour trip down south was the exact remedy I […]
