San Jose, Costa Rica: Don’t Miss Sharing a Different Culture

“Al, I found a flight to Vietnam for only Five Hundred Forty Nine, round trip,” Laura said. “It will be a great add-on.” We were in San Diego, California.

Knowing her passion to travel, and armed with the knowledge of her convenient excuse to find a way to get from one place not so exotic to another…

Chicago: Travel Ideas, Food, Oysters, and more.

Well, we stopped in Chicago again for a quick two days. Why? No particular reason other than we like the city. So we kicked off our fall tour in the Windy City. Our first stop was Shaw’s Crab House again, of course. “I hate the slimy little things,” said Laura. As for me, well, I was not into oysters either, but the Shaw’s folks made believers out of us.   Join us on this episode for those…

Amsterdam: Where Everything is Legal?

Amsterdam: Where Everything is Legal?

Do you ever dream of a land with no rules? Where anything goes? Where Rastafari meet prostitutes, meet religious priest, meet alternative gender meet heteros, and if I missed any specimen, any one or anything else with two legs and no wings?  Although, the winged type are probably coming soon. “That’s the way we do things here in Amsterdam”, said the twenty-something narrator on the booze cruise…

Cinque Terre, Italy: Hiking, Medusae, and More Laundry

Vernazza “Keep climbing,” Laura said, looking back at my nearly dead and dehydrated walking corpse. “Look at this great view.” When I finally reached the peak, the look down onto Vernazza was one of the most amazing views I had ever seen, making the hike worth every breath, every droplet of sweat, and every near heart attack.

Bologna, Italy: Wine, Food and Laundry

“Hey Al,” said Laura, “are those your boxers hanging in the courtyard?” To my surprise, the answer to her question was in the affirmative. But before I go there,  allow me to digress and start from the beginning of our memorable experiences from our Bologna, Italy trip. Bologna dates back at least 1,000 years. I said I would start at the beginning.  The University of Bologna is the oldest in the…
