Jon and I are starting to plan out the details of going to southern Africa this summer for an entire fortnight (i.e. 14 days for non-Shakespeare fans; also a LOT of time for American travelers! two whole weeks!). We’ve decided on a five-day safari that would zoom us around the major parks of northern Tanzania, [...]

On My Itinerary: I’m going skiing, somewhere, this winter
Jon took off to Tahoe for the weekend for a friend’s bachelor party. All week, it had been storming snow in the Tahoe/ Reno area, and he flew right into one and managed to hop a free shuttle from Reno to Harrah’s in South Tahoe. From there, someone picked him up to the giant ski [...]

On My Itinerary: Los Angeles!
It was about time I gave tribute to my former home, one that fulfilled the California Dream so many have and so few bother to pursue. Believe me, picking up and moving to California was a great and excellent decision.
Los Angeles gets a bad rap from Northeasterners, many of whom actually have never even set [...]

In The Suitcase: Car rentals
It’s actually been an entire year since I’ve been back to my beloved Los Angeles, and even longer for Jon. Now when I go back, I like being super touristy and renting a convertible to cruise around in, even though I was fairly anti-convertible when I lived there. Mostly because my HR told me stories about [...]

On My Itinerary: Gothenburg/Gotenborg/Göteborg
What is particularly cool about typing on a Swedish keyboard is that now I can implement all these letters, like ö and ä and å without having to search through Word symbols and inserting. We are now using the free services of the Apple store to check email and update although the CPU are hidden [...]

On My Itinerary: London Town!
Update from London with working Internet opportunity because my friend Dave’s place in Notting Hill has a spotty connection. We’ve now spent three days walking straight across London – day one in the rain, day two and three in the sun, because the Tube costs 4 pounds to ride. If you do the math, that [...]

On My Itinerary: London and Sweden, here we come!
In exactly 24 hours we’ll be on a flight heading from DC to Boston… then a 12-hour layover (yes, American Airlines screwed us and changed our flights so none to London take off until evening) eating lobster rolls and looking at the birth of our nation… then following the Redcoats path across the pond to London [...]

On My Itinerary: Southern Florida
I’m headed to SOUTHERN FLORIDA this upcoming Memorial Day for the wedding of my dear friend, Karen. Karen and I went to college together, spent a summer in Loire Valley, France and voyaging around Europe on our weekends 0ff. Later we lived four blocks apart from each other in Manhattan and spent many a night [...]
