Nine years, three months and three days. Or for those part of the musical theatre community: Four million, eight hundred sixty eight thousand, six hundred and forty minnnnnnutes If you add nine months or round it up to the nearest year what do you get? 10 years! Or maybe not, I’m pretty useless at math…

Luck of the Irish
When you’re young, business traveling has a certain romantic quality to it. “Look at me, I’m important enough to be sent to different offices in order to do my work” tends to be the thought and of course, the status that comes with it, real or imaginary. Admittedly, I had a similar view of business…
Vespa-pa-pa-pa
I never really realized how big Vietnam actually is. When looking at a map, it simply appears to be a short stretch of land along the southeast Asian peninsula but in reality it’s over two thousand miles long, about the distance from Los Angeles to Charlotte, NC. Because of this, our tour operator correctly booked…
Roosters Can’t Tell Time
Call me crotchety (or don’t, name calling isn’t nice), but the older I get the more I’m drawn to more rural and quiet settings where one isn’t bombarded by domed sort of stimulation. Luckily our next leg of the trip was able to accommodate just that as we left thousands of motorbikes and their horns…
Hanoi’s Old Quarter
It’s been a little over eight years since we were last in Asia and while many aspects of our honeymoon remain fresh in the mind, the culture shock was the one that I completely forgot about. In other parts of the world, it’s easy to blend in with the crowd but the drastic difference between…
The Lost Weekend
Let me take you back to the fall of 2022, where my loyal readers will remember that Lauren and I travelled to Germany (the first time) with a handful of friends to celebrate Oktoberfest. Towards the end of that trip we both came down (presumably) with covid and we experienced the beer tents, zombie like,…
A Weihnachtsmarkt Holiday
Lauren and I had the realization on the London and Berlin flight that we’ve never traveled internationally in the winter to a country that experiences winter like we do back home. This realization was especially evident when we stepped off of the train in Berlin that got us to the city center. Local billboards had…
The Mighty Corson Art Players Present…[Updated]
22.10.23 Update: With our final performance in the books, I want to thank all those who made the journey to Corson to see the show. It was an incredibly memorable experience and I’m extraordinarily fortunate to have been part of such a talented and beautiful cast. This one was for you, Brian. It was a…
The Sun, Sea and Wind (ish)
Our last days on the island were mostly plagued by rain but there were gaps in the moisture that we were able to take advantage of. Leading up to this trip, I’ve been tinkering with the idea of buying a laser dinghy and as it just so happens, Constance has them for use for free…
Travel Rule #2
When presented with the opportunity to use a toilet, use it. You really never know when you’ll get another chance and when staying for two weeks on a tropical island constantly hydrating and on boats with no toilets, it becomes even more imperative. We transferred from Lakaz Chamarel on day eight and took the long,…
