Guys, it’s time. I’m coming home. It’s been half-a-year, which is simultaneously an eternity and far too short of a time to be gone. I wasn’t sure how long I’d be away, though I figured until at least the new year but it turns out I accomplished what I set out to sooner than expected. […]
First Night In Barcelona My travel companion Jenni and I arrived late evening in Barcelona, our 2nd choice of city on the Tomorrowland Discover Europe tour. It was midnight by the time we found our hotel and settled into our Spanish-inspired room. We were starving at by this point and due to the late hour, our […]
I met my friend on a hot day outside of a train station an hour west of Rome. He is a First Officer for Royal Caribbean and one of the perks of being friends with sailors is that they will take you cruising with them for essentially free (although you may end up in their cabin if […]
The Tomorrowland Hotel and Welcome Package Amsterdam was the first of city that I picked for the Tomorrowland Discover Europe tour. Discover Europe provides the option of 4 different packages with a choice of 4 or 5 cities. Brussels (near where Tomorrowland is held) and Paris are mandatory options. The other options are Amsterdam, Barcelona, […]
Rather a Boeing 777…and not knowing when I’ll be back again. So I’m really leaving. After years of itching to travel again and months of anticipation starting when I bought tickets to Tomorrowland in February, I’m finally here. At the airport. Waiting for my flight to Europe. I’m ecstatic, terrified, and sad at the same […]
Once, within the span of 1.5 years, I crossed the Pacific Ocean no less than 10 times. On the first of those journeys, I was so exhausted and sleep-deprived that I walked full speed into a glass door. Since then, I’ve learned a thing or two about how to lessen the pain of long-haul flights. […]
If you live on the opposite end of the continent like I do, a trip to Ultra Miami is going to hurt the bank account. Ultra Miami is held on the last weekend of March, which coincides with spring break for a lot of the country. Therefore, it is a VERY expensive weekend to travel […]
Partying for 3 days with 100,000 people under the electric sky is not for the faint-hearted. There are millions of bright lights and loud sounds to potentially cause you a world of confusion. People dressed in costumes stumble about and inevitably push against one another in front of heavily crowded stages. To help you out, […]
The Maeklong Railway Market is a rather unique attraction in that multiple trains pass through the center of the busy market every day. What is probably the most surprising part about the market is that the shops and vendors aren’t set up around it rather than right on the railway tracks. When there is no train passing through, […]
The Amphawa Floating Market is a series of shops, bridges, and walkways along the Amphawa Canal and is the second largest floating market in Bankok, located some 50 km outside of the city. As opposed to the touristy Damnoen Saduak, Amphawa draws mostly local visitors. I boarded an organized minivan tour on Khaosan Street that […]
