A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, on April 13th, I flew to Amsterdam for a quick business trip. It was one of those “fly in, have a dinner, spend an afternoon, then fly home” trips… which are kind of crazy when you spend 18 hours in the air for less than 48…
This continues the story of my Asia expedition begun in An Asian Expedition Part 1: Seoul, Korea. ONE THING that will forever be memorable about my first trip to Tokyo is that I actually flew there in Business Class from Seoul. A little thing? Sure, but it’s only the 2nd…
I TRAVEL A LOT for my dayjob, but typically just to domestic cities. Over the past few months, however, due to a special circumstance, I had the opportunity to go to four international locations, the most recent being a trip to Asia, visiting Seoul, Korea and flying from there to…
LAST MONTH, I had a short trip to Barcelona for business, and while I didn’t get much free time to sight-see, I did discover a couple brewpubs that are must-stops for any craft beer lover. I had one afternoon where I was able to take a City Tour Bus around…
I’VE BEEN TRAVELLING a lot for my dayjob lately, which is not terribly unusual… but I am not usually on trips abroad. This fall, however, took me to both Ghent, Belgium and Barcelona, Spain. While on business trips, I don’t usually have many hours of daylight to “see the sights,”…

DURING THE LAST WEEK in February 2013, I flew to Santiago, Chile for a week-long business trip. I’ve never been to South America before, and really didn’t know what to expect. People (and the Internet) insisted that folks in Santiago would have a good smattering of English, since it’s a…
I’VE BEEN WORKING at the same dayjob for almost 20 years, so at this point, I’ve stacked up a pretty good bit of annual vacation time. This year, for the first time ever, I decided to take two straight weeks off and do a driving vacation with the family. We…
