Today I arrived in Delhi after a 24-hour jaunt to get here – both in the air and waiting in airports. After clearing customs and being really surprised that my luggage made it to India with me after going through three countries I headed out of bustling Indira Gandhi International Airport at 4:30 AM to … Continue reading »

[Photos] Good Times, Great Food in Seattle
Last week I visited Seattle on a press trip with Microsoft (which means they paid for everything and fed us very, very well). The purpose of the trip was to learn about Windows 8 and Office 365. Although I am a hardcore digital maven I admit I didn’t take to the changes to Windows very well. I shunned … Continue reading »

He’s been in Texas since Thursday – enough time to get acclimated to the time zone and rested before he had to race today. He sent these photos of the course and some of the surrounding … Continue reading »
Why I’m Going to India for Two Weeks This Fall
Earlier this year I saw a call-out from Water for People’s CEO Ned Breslin to travel with him and report from the field about the water crisis. I love to travel and report about global development issues, so without a moment of hesitation I decided to apply. In fact, what was really compelling about the … Continue reading »
[Photos] New York City
New York is a gritty place. That’s the best way I can describe it. I love every bit of its grit. New York is also filled with an energy that can’t be replicated anywhere in the world. It has character and wears it well. I had to head up the east coast for a few … Continue reading »
[Photos] Beautiful Coast
After a year of heavy travel it’s nice to use some of the points you’ve racked up for a quick getaway. As a family we hadn’t been to the beach in over a year so we decided to drive a few hours east to the coast and see the ocean. It was our first time … Continue reading »
