Since we were going to have such a short time in Moscow, Andrea set us up with a walking tour that featured the “Moscow must-sees”. We spent most of the day Monday on this tour, getting to know all sorts of great stuff about Moscow. We met our tour guide, Milana, in the lobby of Read More
When you hang up the phone in our hotel room in Guangzhou, it plays the 1up sound from Super Mario Bros. How sweet is that? I must have just earned myself 10 extra lives by hanging up the phone!
On Thursday Andrea and I went to the Great Wall at Mutianyu. This was the location recommended by the hotel because it is less busy and in better condition than other sites. The tour we booked featured a ride to the wall in an “air conditioned” bus, along with a Chinese lunch and an English-speaking Read More

Back home I’ll often see signs that say “pizza and beer” – a terrific combination without a doubt. Seoul seems to have a different take on this combination, pairing beer with a number of different things, like… Chicken and Beer Maybe not as strong a combination as chicken and waffles, but still a fine pairing.

Our flight from LAX to Seoul took place on an Airbus A380, the largest commercial jet in the world. This plane is massive! It has two levels, and the Korean Air version sports a duty-free shop on board, plus two bars. I had never been on a plane that featured one bar, let alone two! Read More
