Not Yet Beaten: The Path to Bundi
Believe it or not, pounding the tourist trail can be hard work, especially somewhere as intense as India. When it all gets too overwhelming, it’s time to take a few deep breaths (another thing India often seems to make challenging!) and reassess. What are we traveling for? What do we hope to accomplish? For us […]
Temples, Towers and Townspeople
Walking the streets of Seoul each day, we found the major tourist spots as well as some hidden treasures: small parks, alley restaurants, just the adventure it should be. Seoul really lends itself to this kind of wandering, and we found it all too easy to lose track of time. Beneath Gwanghwamun Square is a […]
High Sierra Music Festival
Arriving from the ding-ding-dinging of Reno to the quiet, sleepy Quincy was a great change of pace. We checked into The Sporting Inn located on Main Street. The B&B is located on the second floor of a storefront, in a building that looks to have been there since the town’s early days. It was like […]
Sasquatch
It was a crazy Memorial Day weekend between the Country Cabin Motel and working at the Sasquatch Music Festival in the middle of Washington State. The festival is held at the Gorge Amphitheater, and features a great line-up of indie/alternative bands. Due to the remote location, most people camp, and we were set up right […]
Long Beach Grand Prix
Once a year the streets of Long Beach are closed for the weekend as they host the Long Beach Grand Prix, the famous Indycar street race. Inside the Convention Center, sponsors (including Coke Zero) gathered to show visitors and fans race-related products and exhibits. In addition to the big race, there were four smaller races, […]
Choroni
Choroni is a hopping little beach town and one of the more accessible for harried Caraqueños trying to escape the big city. That being said, we left for Choroni on Monday morning. Using public transportation to arrive is an adventure. The bus from Caracas to Maracay is no big deal, $2.50 and an hour and […]
Colorado to Missouri: An Unlikely Route
Under pretty much any circumstances, it doesn’t make any sense to stop in Springfield, Missouri on the way from Denver, Colorado to Los Angeles, California. It’s almost 800 miles in the opposite direction, but apparently someone in Springfield has some pretty persuasive powers. Working as tour managers in the field of mobile marketing, schedules and routes can […]
Music City Nashville
Since neither of us had ever spent much time in Nashville, we wanted to get a taste of what it has to offer. With the Nashville: Music City All-Access Pass, we were able to choose four major attractions (plus bonus entry to the Parthenon). We did a whirlwind tour, and accomplished quite a bit.Nashville is […]
