Hot. Humid. Amazing views. These all describe my experience in Agra, India, where I went to visit the Taj Mahal and the Agra Fort. To start this whirlwind journey (I was only gone for 24 hours), I caught a flight on AirAsia to Delhi. Not having been to Asia before, I’d never used them, but […]

Yes, I did make it to Mysore! Granted, I made it there a few days ago and I’m just now getting around to writing about it, but it’s crazy how quickly the time is flying by on this trip. Of course, time always passes more quickly on trips, but this one has a bit odd […]

Another day in India! And this one didn’t involve arriving very late (or very early, depending on your point of view) or getting up for work, which was a welcome relief after yesterday. My very nice driver, Chandra, offered to take me around to a few local sights today, which was great because, although I’m […]

It’s the end of my first day in Bangalore and before I fall asleep (for what will hopefully be an amazingly restful night of slumber), let me catch you up. As you learned in my last post, my flight from Paris to Bangalore was delayed, to the tune of THREE HOURS. Ugh. Definitely not ideal, […]

I shouldn’t be able to write this post right now, but my flight to Bangalore is now approaching a two-hour delay, so why not update the blog? 🙂 On the positive side, the flight to Paris was just fine, though I didn’t really sleep much. I was laying down for a good 3-4 hours, but […]

The time has come – I’m on my way to India! Well, I’m on my way there via Paris and I’ve just boarded my flight in Minneapolis, so I’ve got a solid 17-18 hours of flying time to look forward to yet. But hey, at least business class makes it comfy! Leg room for dayyyyyys. […]

My oh my, how time flies! Clearly I’ve been neglecting my blogging duties of late, but if it makes you feel better (or if it makes me feel better), I haven’t really had much going on in the travel world since my last post. Aside from my annual trip to Los Angeles for Gallifrey One […]

In December, I made a return visit to the Big Apple. The reason was two-fold – I had never visited around Christmas (which is my favorite holiday and my favorite time of year) and I wanted to see my girl Mariah Carey in concert again. Yes, I just saw her live in Las Vegas in […]

On this, the (nearly) two-month anniversary since my last post, I resolve to let you know what happened after I left London. Did I enjoy my Premium Economy seat? Did I get any sleep on the plane? AM I STILL ON THE PLANE TWO MONTHS LATER?!?! Read on for the answers to these questions and […]

Well, I managed to wake up at 430a, despite sleeping pretty terribly. Boo! And the fact that I’m seated on my plane right now means this trip really is over. Double boo! But, as a reward for waking up so early, I decided to upgrade myself to Premium Economy. Hooray! Although I booked this trip […]
