TGI Friday’s, Dallas Fort Worth Airport DFW, TX USA

Apparently if you’re flying “First Class” on American Airlines, you can’t use their lounge. So who has access to the Admirals Club? What a lame “rewards” system; spend money to fly first, still can’t use the lounge. My plan switching flights in Dallas was to grab some free drinks and a snack in the lounge, […]

Morning Glory, Gloucester, MA, USA

I saw it on the specials menu. No ingredients, no description, just the name “Fish Cake Club” and an $11 price tag next to it, making it pretty much the most expensive item in the restaurant. I only wanted eggs and bacon for brunch this Sunday, but with my family egging me on, a Fish […]

As I thought about where to eat, restaurants began to fight […]

Yangshuo Resort Hotel, Yangshuo, China

The ride from Guilin to Yangshuo was an easy hour and a half.  A gorgeous hour and a half. An hour and a half that we wished had been slowed by traffic. Sprawling karst formations, lush greenery, bountiful farm land… it was wonderful being in the heart of China’s most beautiful countryside, especially coming from […]
