I remember all too clearly the dangers that are involved when combining early morning travel and zero coffee. Today another little wrinkle, if you can call it that, was thrown into the mix. First class seats. I didn’t really know what to expect. Celebrities in every seat, wild wild west mentality, rampant “please use the […]
Airplanes and Suitcases
Airplanes and suitcases. The unsung heroes that make travel possible and, without fail, are somehow left out of the stories told once the journey has been completed. Trains are so two centuries ago. My recent trip to London was only possible due to my parents’ working for Bell Helicopter and it’s involvement in the bi-yearly Farnborough […]
The Tower Revisited
At some point during the last two years London Tower was invaded by steel wool animals. Baboons, polar bears, lions and an elephant have all appeared at various spots throughout the Tower grounds. The Monkeys are Taking Over Apparently, the Tower was used as a menagerie/holding cell/terrible place to live-and-die for all sorts of exotic […]
Thursday is Friday and Three equals Four
Otherwise known as travel mishaps. And in the Rubin household you can be guaranteed at least one per trip. From bird poop, to rainy beaches, to getting stuck on a narrow street mid three-point-turn.

Sometimes there is a great article that inspires you to plan a future trip, change reservations or be extra cautious. And, without fail, […]

Babysitters
No. Not pregnant. And yes, there are still many blog posts to come about my London adventures. But first, a funny story. A few months back Adam and I were joined by my family in New Orleans for a long weekend of fun. Fittingly this fun started at Pat O’Brien’s to partake in a New […]
Magic Number 3
I often mention on here how much we love traveling in order to experience new ways of being and living. In a lot of ways our expectation is to always find ways that other places are unique and different from the U.S.A. One way we thought Santiago was different and unique is the much smaller […]
