Ice Hotel in Quebec City
February 11, 2013 by 14 Comments
The Ice Hotel in Quebec City is an experience in and of itself. It is constructed out of solid ice at the beginning of the winter and generally stays operational through the end of March-depending on the weather. It is quite the spectacle to see. It’s hard to fathom how or why someone decided to […]

I’m the first to admit that cage fighting isn’t for everyone. Some may love it, some may loathe it but pretty much everyone at this point is aware of its existence. Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) organizations like the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) have taken over the lead in violent mainstream entertainment from sports like Boxing […]

While St. Pierre and Miquelon is the only part of France left in North America; Quebec City is far and away the most European city in North America. Quebec City just oozes France around the magical streets of Vieux Quebec or Old Quebec City. Its charming cobblestone streets snake around hilly curves much like Montmartre […]

Ahhhh the Bahamas. I love the name Bahamas, it just sounds like it should be in the Caribbean. It just sounds colorful, tropical, and full of life with amazing beaches. That’s pretty much accurate too! The Bahamas are made up of hundreds of islands spread out over a pretty vast area not too far off […]

I’ve spent a ton of time in Las Vegas. I’ve literally been about 100 times. Vegas is a great place to see and do a ton of different things. I don’t do Vegas like your typical guy who goes once or twice a year and goes on an insane drunken bender. I have friends there […]
The Oxygen Masks Came Down

I’ve flown thousands of flights on over 200 different airlines across six continents. Never in my flying life, has anything happened like what happened today. On my flight from Newark to Fort Lauderdale aboard United Airlines, the cabin depressurized; the oxygen masks came down; and for about 10-12 minutes; I thought I might die. United […]
The Best Headphones For Travel
January 22, 2013 by 14 Comments
You see and hear a lot about noise canceling headphones these days. You hear how they are great on airplanes because they block out screaming kids, airplane engine sounds and assorted other airplane annoyances. You see commercials on TV featuring celebrities and athletes sporting cool headphones. So I decided to check a few of them […]
Top 20 Travel Songs
January 17, 2013 by 10 Comments
I love music-everybody loves music. For me, music is best when I associate it with a certain place, time in my life or person. The same goes with travel. Some songs just elicit thoughts of being on the road. Perhaps the song reminds you of a place, a bar, a road trip or someone you […]
