With more travel blogs online these days than adult websites about midgets, keeping track of them all can be a bit overwhelming. So from time to time I like to spotlight posts that caught my attention recently. Be sure to Stumble, Digg, re-tweet, and print them out for your grandmother to enjoy. Last week I [...]
Appointed by Friedich Wilhelm II to represent peace, Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate is just one of the many amazing sights to see when visiting Germany’s vibrant capital city. The architectural design of this popular structure has not been touched since it debuted in 1791. The Gate was designed by Karl Gotthard Langhans, the Court Superintendent of [...]
It has been 20 years since the collapse of the Berlin Wall, which was a pivotal moment in world history. With that wall being torn down, it not only put a major dent in communism and caused the the Soviet empire to eventually implode. Germans were able to unite just in time for a free [...]
Last week I wrote about how America was voted the “most liked” country in the world. So with so much love for the U.S. going around, one question must be asked. Has the world’s crush on Uncle Sam helped with the country’s tourism? In a word…kinda. Year after year when the U.S. Commerce Department’s Office [...]
Nein, nein, nein! Warum!!! Yup it’s true. Germany has indeed been dethroned as the “most liked” country in the world. No longer is the land of giant pretzels and beers the most beloved according to a new survey. So what country is “most liked” right now? The United States of America. Yeah I was shocked [...]
I have been fighting the flu all week. But today it just has hit me so hard and I have been bedridden most of the day. So I felt the need to break out the old clip show idea for today’s update. According to one definition online, “A clip show is an episode of a [...]
The other day I was conversing with a friend of mine who is just about as obsessed as I am with gallivanting throughout this planet. It seems that when one of us is on the road, the other is planning the next “big” adventure and vice versa. One day over a few adult beverages at [...]

Today is “09-09-09″, and while that may be catchy enough, it has also been dubbed “Beatles Day.” The reason behind the nickname is because the Fab Four’s entire music catalog is being re-released starting today in proper CD digital format. So that means you can get a hold of all the legendary British band’s popular [...]
Now I’m not a raging alcoholic and I don’t need 12 steps (at least I don’t think I do) – I just deeply appreciate an icy cold adult beverage, whether it be an exotic lager from a far away land or a strikingly good stout made in a local brewery. One of the best ways [...]
Well when you gotta go…you gotta go. So the next time you are traveling in a city like Amsterdam, Belfast, and London, be careful when walking down certain streets at night.
