Whether it’s a final day breakfast at an American Roadside Diner in Paris, a frappe from the first Starbucks you’ve seen in two weeks in Athens, a bagel in Tokyo, a desperate dinner from McDonalds in Italy. I’ve found that sometimes you just need a small taste of home while away no matter how disgusting. […]
Travel Day
Subtitle: In Which Zeke Obtains A Seat For Himself Travel days. Not everyone’s most favorite part of travel, but a necessary evil. I happen to be one of those weirdos who still thinks air travel has that special shimmer to it, as if we’re still back in the golden age of flight. Plane food? Delish! […]
I did it!
Well, I did it. I successfully did not post for an entire year. Congratulations? I’d begin to tell you about the mental stamina and willpower it took to avoid posting for that long, but I don’t want to give away all of my blogging material at once. Therefore I will kick off 2016 with a […]

The Best In The World
Stumbled upon an interesting article which attempts to rank the Best Cities In the World… Pause for dramatic effect. It certainly made me smile to see some of the places I’ve visited had made it onto the list. (And it kind of made me visualize Elf congratulating the #1 spot…) “Congratulations! You did it! Best […]
