Another New Wonder was announced this morning: The Polar Ice Caps in Iceland.
I’m a bit confused over whether “wonders” are supposed to be natural or man-made, so this one confused me for a bit. But I don’t want to get into the politics of the choices made. For me, it’s more about the exploration and […]
I spend a lot of time in hotel rooms, and empathize with others who do so, too.
Lately, I’ve had a tough time sitting down to get anything done. I’ve bounced back and forth between the desk/work station and the bed, trying to find the best location and position to get some research and writing done. […]
I’m always looking for products that will make traveling easier, so I was interested in Xubaz, described as a uni-sex accessory that will help travelers pack “wisely and light.”

The 25th annual Red Rock Balloon Rally will be held December 2nd-4th in Gallup, New Mexico.
Who hasn’t seen photos of a sky full of hot air balloons?
And this rally, by invitation only, is the premier hot air balloon event, and also showcases the dramatic backdrop of the Red Rock area. Over 200 balloons are expected […]
I’m traveling out of the country right now, and it’s been hard to find a consistent time to write. Changing time zones isn’t a problem for me, as I do it often enough.
