As a follow-up to my last post, in case you missed my comment about it, I decided to apply for Global Entry. I know it’s more money, but the value seems like it’s there! So how about upcoming trips? As it turns out, I actually have several! Here’s what’s on the horizon for the next […]
Lately, I’ve been looking at some government programs that make travel a lot easier, namely TSA Precheck and Global Entry. I actually started by just looking at Precheck because I recently noticed that some friends of mine had used it. So what good is it?

Well, the convention is over. Le sigh. Conventions, especially this one, are a lot like Christmas. There’s a ton of excitement and build-up leading up to it, loads of fun during it as you get to see lots of friends and have a fun time for a few days, and then a bit of a […]
I’m writing this post from the balcony of my hotel room in Los Angeles, where I’ve been since Wednesday night for Gallifrey One – 25 Glorious Years. And what a wonderful time it’s been! As you learned in my last post, I’ve been coming here every year since 2002 and this year reconfirms how much […]

I was just looking at Facebook and came across this amazing set of aerial photos of London by night. Check ’em out! http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/london-air-stunning-aerial-photos-by-jason-hawkes-1433487 Haven’t I said how important it is to see London (and other cities) by night? Now you know why! Unfortunately, it won’t be easy to see it by night in a helicopter, […]
For this, my 50th blog post, I want to write about something very deep and very important. Something that we all experience at some point in our lives. For some people, these things are gentle and relaxing while for others, they’re arduous and painful. So what are these “things”? ROAD TRIPS! Yes, that’s right, those […]
Okay, I’m only calling this post Looking Back because I’m about to recap the last full day of the London trip I returned from about six weeks ago. But hey, that’s okay! Our last day in London was a good one! After all the excitement at the Doctor Who Celebration the day before, it was […]
Goodness, is it really 2014 already?? Apparently it is! And here’s me, shirking my blogging responsibilities. Tsk, tsk! Never fear though, a new post (or possibly posts!) will be available later today. You’ll get to read about: *The final day of my November London trip (or did you think I was still there, basking in […]
