Weird Activities and Awkward Encounters at home and abroad
I thought I knew Mexican cuisine before my recent trip to Cancun. I grew up on Mexican food. Where I lived in Franklin, TN, La Hacienda was the only restaurant open past 8pm and therefore became a staple. I’m fairly certain my first cocktail was a margarita at that very restaurant. Comedian Jim Gaffigan has…
I just returned from Tbex Cancun yesterday and I figured I should write this while I’m still on a little bit of a travel high. If you read my previous post you know that I was a little nervous going into something like this alone. My blog is approaching it’s first year, but that’s still…
I’ve spent the last few days feverishly preparing for the Tbex conference I bought tickets to on a whim back in May. I’m a hopeless procrastinator, I know. But in May they offered early bird tickets for $97 so I figured I would go ahead and get them and then even if I chickened out…
Ok, so everyone knows about drinking around the world at Epcot, (of course I have plenty to say about that too) but it seems few people have caught on to the Loop. The Loop is another way to drink at Disney, it’s a collection of hotels you can stop at on the monorail at Walt…
Everyone knows a Disney World Vacation is going to set you back financially, but it’s the most magical place on earth. Who can put a price tag on that? Well Disney can, and it’s a lot. Here are a few magical things you can do at Disney World for free (or almost free). It’s great…
I appreciate any society that values the arts and art in Oslo is alive and well. I’ve mentioned a little about growing up in Franklin, TN on here before. I grew up in a very artistic household in what I would consider a relatively oppressive society by western standards, though everyone there would strongly disagree…
Okay, so I know it’s not technically travel since I live here (and hopefully no one is traveling to Orlando for Margaritafest), but this is the post I wish someone had written about Margaritafest 4 (or 3,2,1) before I spent $35+ tax on my “VIP” experience. I’ll start by saying that the margarita is…
Two and a half days anywhere is hardly enough to experience a city, but unfortunately due to my American amount of allowable time off work its all I had. It probably a good thing though, any longer and I would have to sell a kidney to pay for my food there. I do feel like…
I’m so glad that The Fram was actually small and disappointing, because it meant that I had time to visit the Viking Ship Museum when I was done. I was also glad of the bragging rights that came with my original museum pick being far superior to the Fram, but who’s keeping score? Unfortunately, I…
If you haven’t yet learned from my other posts, or worse yet if you haven’t read my other post (which you probably should), Oslo is weird. Nothing quite makes sense, and the Munch Museum is no exception. I mean, where else in the world could a museums most famous painting be stolen… twice?! To be…
