When you grow up in a big city, like Los … [Read more...]

Has Travel Come to This?

I polled a family member currently on vacation in Croatia - who enjoys using his phone while traveling. I had a good laugh when we read this. "Travel is all about staying in touch … [Read more...]
Stop in Quito Ecuador
I've been to South America quite a few times (focusing on Peru) but it has been too long since I was last here - so it was quite nice to finally touch down again on the continent very late this evening.

Not so here - the officials were laughing and joking … [Read more...]

Destination: Buenos Aires, Argentina
I could see myself, watching myself. An “out of body experience,” they call it. I was naked, wallowing hysterically in the crisp, clean, white sheets of the king-sized bed in my Marriott hotel room. I hadn’t eaten for many hours, too tired, emotional, and downright fearful to leave the room to forage for even a candy bar, of which there were plenty. Abundant bodegas were filled to the brim with candy brands foreign and domestic; chocolate … [Read more...]
