We came to London with the idea that we might see ghosts, but instead, we left completely enchanted.  This had nothing to do with our own personal charms, but only due to the lovely ambiance at our hotel.  London is a great place to be if you’re with the one you love.  It’s also a [...]

We’ve hunkered down to ride out this extremely uncharacteristic winter weather in Seattle. We’ve been here for a week, staying almost exclusively in our luxury hotel in Seattle.

For many people, a chill is a thrill.  This is not a statement about the weather, but a statement regarding the fun that people find, when they find themselves frightened.  Chilling tales are best heard when sitting around a campfire, on a cool autumn night.  I discovered this during one trip I had taken to [...]

The forest and the trees analogy can easily be applied to the past and present in New York City.  For people who live here, the past is evident everywhere, and most know some of the multiple histories that make up the people who live in the city, but the specter that haunts is always in [...]

When we arrived to the boarding desk, the attendant explained that since we’ve been upgraded to Business Class we could have boarded the plane to New York a while ago.

Mardi Gras is soon approaching, and for some people, that means that New Orleans and its legendary hospitality and hotels are about to be put to use for Fat Tuesday, the big blow out before Ash Wednesday, and forty days of Lent.  The French Quarter’s reputation precedes it for most people who have ever traveled [...]

By the time I landed in New York City, went through customs, then took the C train all the way to Penn Station and walked to my New York hotel, which wasn’t too far away. I had dinner at the hotels restaurant and felt some what delusional. The combination of jet-lag, travel fatigue, being up [...]

Phoenix is a collective series of multiple contradictions, beginning with the lawn.  The city was designed on an idea of Americana, where the picket fence sensibility was transplanted here in the 1950s and has stayed for reasons that are perhaps lost by now.  The lawns are still here, however, and some of the greenest lawns [...]

Canberra is not like most cities. All the buildings seem to be from the same time period, I’d say the 80’s.
