Next Stop: Babymoon II – Fort Lauderdale, FL

With the due date around the corner, Cat (my wife) and I are itchy all over.  No, not from bed bugs. We’ve got the travel itch, and tomorrow at 7:00 AM, we’re giving it one major scratch that should hold us off for the new few months to come. Who doesn’t love a long weekend filled with sand in between their toes, palm trees, and an azure ocean view? Fort Lauderdale, here we come. Where are we going? For those of you who know us, we aren’t exactly your “sit on the beach and read a book” type. Our last long weekend was a jaunt to Istanbul, and it...

Sunsets in Scottsdale, Arizona: Natural Fireworks and the End of 2012

Who needs fireworks when you have the setting sun and cloud formations. As I reflect on 2012, I think of all the places I’ve visited, the things I’ve experienced, and the people I’ve met and smile. 2012 brought many lessons while on the road. However, 2013 brings with it a whole new sense of wonder: we will be welcoming a baby into our lives. So as I sit here and watch the natural fireworks of Scottsdale burst, I wait with giddy anticipation for all 2013 has to offer. Happy New Year, friends. Wishing you as much joy and love as I feel right...

Photo Essay: My Secret Place

This week’s #FriFotos’ theme is “secrets.” “Secrets” are truths to some, lies to others. They’re unknown. Elusive. Not meant to be seen. Subjective. To me, a secret is something you unexpectedly stumble upon. A secret is something special; something intimate. And as I pondered the description of what “secrets” were to me, I knew exactly what photos to share. Last winter, I visited the British Virgin Islands for the second time. Readers of this blog know just how much I love the British Virgin Islands. However, there was a particular cove that stuck...

The Minute Tour: Foz Do Iguaçu

“Brazilians consider Brazil ‘God’s Country’ – and not just in an esoteric sense.” Adriana leans forward against the back of my chair a row behind me on the double decker bus as she shares this insight. “We have no wars, our soil is fertile, we respect one another, love our country, and our prosperity is at a turning point. It’s God’s Country because it is so divine, and you will know exactly what I mean when you stare at the Iguaçu Falls for the first time. I guarantee the sight will change you.” ‘God’s country;’ almost impossible to imagine a place so exquisite it...
