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 was exactly...

The Minute Tour: Kamakura, Japan

The Ethereal Escape from Tokyo. Standing on the beach as Mount Fuji looms in the distance, it’s easy to feel like you are living Hokusai’s famous woodblock print “Great Wave.” Recognized as the birthplace of Zen Buddhism and the original seat of the Shogun, Kamakura’s quiet nature is a welcome change from Tokyo. Easily reachable on Tokyo’s JR Subway line, Kamakura is a walker’s paradise and offers something for everyone: ancient temples and shrines, hiking paths, onsens, and some of the most delicious curry in Japan. Whether winter or summer, make...
