Talking to a well-traveled friend about Devan’s and my Christmas trip instilled a bit of fear in me as I was stoically informed that TAP Portugal, on which we were booked for our inbound flight to Prague, via Lisbon, is considered vaguely reminiscent of the international counterpart to Spirit Airlines. I found it slightly troublingContinue reading “TAPping our way to Prague”

Southern Hospitality in the Lowcountry
My son’s and my Thanksgiving 2014 trip wasn’t the most extravagantly planned or executed trip I’ve ever taken, but the visit to the Lowcountry of South Carolina was indeed an enjoyable one on many levels. I was fortunate to be able to coordinate a business meeting in Ormond Beach, Florida, with my visit to theContinue reading “Southern Hospitality in the Lowcountry”
Come Sail Away
Seems Dennis DeYoung and Styx’s 1977 hit “Come Sail Away” may have had farther reaching implications in my life than I realized; not only is it one of my favorite classic rock songs to this day, but it may very well have affected my long term travel style. Well, my ship of choice, unlike thatContinue reading “Come Sail Away”
“A walk about Paris will provide lessons in history, beauty, and in the point of life.” ~ Thomas Jefferson
I had not been a Francophile for many years, since Parisians in particular had been well-known for their supposed rude treatment of American visitors to their fine city. However, I have to agree with Thomas Jefferson in his assessment of Paris’ many virtues, and for this reason, I felt my son needed to experience the cityContinue reading ““A walk about Paris will provide lessons in history, beauty, and in the point of life.” ~ Thomas Jefferson”
“And what a plan! This vast operation is undoubtedly the most complicated and difficult that has ever occurred.” — Winston Churchill
Because of my penchant for over-planning and -researching in preparation for my trips, one might think that Winston Churchill’s above quote may very well have been referring to my oft intensive travel itineraries. While I wish that I’d ever accomplished anything worthy of recognition by Churchill’s insightful wisdom, the British Prime Minister was obviously referring to D-Day andContinue reading ““And what a plan! This vast operation is undoubtedly the most complicated and difficult that has ever occurred.” — Winston Churchill”
Hungarian Rhapsody – Live in Budapest
I guess Bohemian Rhapsody would have been a more appropriate title and song for my Czech Czech Czech post including random facts about the Czech Republic and Prague, but contemplating what to include in my discoveries about Budapest and Hungary, the Queen album, Hungarian Rhapsody – Live in Budapest, recorded in Budapest in 1986, poppedContinue reading “Hungarian Rhapsody – Live in Budapest”
Oh, Vienna……
Continuing my quest to learn some random facts about my December travel destinations, a little online research brought me to these (unverified) bits of trivia about Austria and Vienna: Legal voting age in Austria is only 16 years old. While that’s really young, I doubt teen Austrian voters could be any less informed than the majority ofContinue reading “Oh, Vienna……”
Czech Czech Czech
As I scour the web to figure out how my son and I should best spend our time in Prague, Vienna and Budapest this coming December, I thought it might be interesting to read up on some little known (at least to me), fun facts about our upcoming destinations. I like to learn new things every day, and discovering useless triviaContinue reading “Czech Czech Czech”
Austin Power
As I’ve been working on hashing out details for my son’s and my upcoming Christmas trip overseas, a recent, more spur of the moment trip came to mind. Last year, a good friend of mine asked me if I was interested in taking a weekend trip to Austin, Texas, to check out the Fun Fun FunContinue reading “Austin Power”
I love it when a plan comes together
Thinking about how my upcoming Christmas trip to Prague, Vienna and Budapest is slowly but surely starting to take shape reminded me of the Colonel John “Hannibal” Smith line from the ’80s TV series, The A-Team. I’m probably really dating myself by admitting that show and quote comes to mind for any reason whatsoever, butContinue reading “I love it when a plan comes together”
