So, I’ve been asked a couple of times about airlines - which ones are great, which ones I’d sooner carve all my ex-boyfriends initials into my flesh with a dull pocketknife than board ever again. And although technically, the worst problems I’ve ever experienced flying the friendly skies were things like delays and flight cancellations, [...]

If you live in the Houston area, you’ve got to check out the Orange Show Center for Visual Arts & their Eye Opener tours. When discussing plans for upcoming installments of Tourist in my Hometown, my friends Neil and Ethun recommended this quirky little jaunt. I’m putting together plans to get down there and experience [...]

I feel like I’m grounded. Now that I’m back working a full-time shtick, I’m slowly and painstakingly accruing PTO (which is just a simple way of saying, your sick time and your vacation time is the same darn thing) to blow on a trip to Prague in the fall. It’s freaking torture. Spending those many [...]

For a while, I was just too busy to go blog-hoppin’ like I used to. My lunch hour is pretty freakin’ precious and usually I spend it outside, in the sun, reading. But the other day, I was doing some googling and found this site.

Brazil is top on my imagination vacation list, because [...]

Anyone know a simple way to get video footage off my camera and onto my blog? I have some fun clips from Costa Rica, Scotland and Barcelona that I would love to get up here. In fact, I thought I had them ready to go this morning, but it turns out, I am not as [...]

how gleeful being linked in this post by Alan Cumming on Kenneth Cole’s Awearness Blog makes me. So much so, that I’d be perfectly despondent if it’s not legit. Because, Alan Cumming, I do adore ya.
Thanks to everyone who contributed their comments to the referenced post; I always appreciate your insight. And so did Alan. [...]

I am such a contest tease. I announce it and then leave you hanging. For that, I apologize. I’ve been distracted with all these crazy real life adventures like, getting a job. Boy was that a trapeze act.
Here’s where we are with the contest: we’re picking a good prize and a winner. And then, [...]

I was a bundle of nerves. Italy was the first country I’d ever visited where I knew I wouldn’t understand a single word. Okay, I knew grazie and ciao, but how far are those going to get you when you’re in search of help at the pharmacy or asking for assistance deciphering a train schedule?
I [...]
