For many of us the idea of going to an all inclusive resort brings up images of a young couple enjoying a Caribbean getaway during the colder months or maybe a family getaway. Living in New England and being subject to advertisements from places like Sandals, teasing warmer weather during winter from all inclusive’s from […]
In case you haven’t heard, there was a coup d’état in Thailand recently. The military has assumed control over all government and dissolved the current constitution. Brief curfews were in effect imposed my the Junta from 10-5 and then 12-4. After my visit this past week in Bangkok, all curfews had been lifted. The streets […]
I recently began flying Norwegian Airlines, a relatively new carrier to the U.S. that is making a big push into long haul routes. Billed as a low cost airline, their expansion has offered some eye catching fares. Though these low prices haven’t been without their pitfalls. There isn’t much “Norwegian” about this airline’s long haul […]
I was walking around Bangkok during the rainy season when the weather can never seem to make up its mind on what it wants to do. A very brief light shower quickly gave way to a spot of sun and a rainbow creating an almost outer space feel.

Mass congestion can make a trip from the airport to the city take much longer than needed and of course there is always the risk of taxi scammers. Luckily the option to take public transportation is inexpensive, safe and fairly simple. Once you have arrived at […]
The idea of stopping to eat at The Mongolian BBQ while in Dublin just didn’t seem right. Ireland, Mongolian food? Well I had my share of Guinness stew and part of the fun of being in a large city is the vast array of food from different cultures. I had passed by this place on […]
