8 Million Miles And Counting…This Guy Flies A LOT!

// May 26th, 2010 // No Comments » // airplanes, frequent flyer

So I just stumbled onto this ABC News piece about Tom Stuker. He’s the guy George Clooney’s character in “Up In The Air” is partly based on. The piece is worth watching. I get a lot of what he says about feeling like royalty when he flies.

I have to admit, when I saw this video yesterday, I was jealous.  Why?  Because when in my life will I ever get to ride an Ostrich?  I know when…the next time I’m in Vietnam. Sign me up! Thanks to Jeannie Mai (and her mom) for sharing this video with us!

Jet-Setter Beau Kelsey shares this video with us of his sushi dinner last night at Love Sushi in Moorpark, California. He says he “loves” that place. After watching his video, I understand why.

They aren’t just rocks, they are giant stones in the middle of the UK.  And like so many others, I had to see them first hand.  Here’s a look at my day trip to Stonehenge.

// March 31st, 2010 // 1 Comment » // Uncategorized, austin

I received a very nice email from Nina in Texas, who, after seeing a video I put together on Austin and the SXSW Festival (South by Southwest), decided to make the journey there herself.  Here’s what she wrote:

“Thank you for convincing me to go to SXSW. I went and had a blast! Make sure you come next year so we can all meet up and have a dandy time.. sincerely – nina.”

Nina: it’s always great to know I inspired!

Angkor Wat and Cambodia

// March 25th, 2010 // No Comments » // Cambodia, Uncategorized, travel tips

I just returned from Siem Reap, Cambodia on a 2 day trip.  Let me just say it was AMAZING! Siem Reap is a charming city, full of great cafes and a French Colonial feel.  I was surprised at how clean the city center is.  There were moments I couldn’t believe I was in a Third World Country.  I’ve been to a lot of places and would rank Cambodia in the top 5.  I can’t wait to go back and explore more.  Angkor Wat Temple, which is only a few miles from the city, is truly a wonder.  No wonder its been named one of the Seven Forgotten Wonders of the Medieval World.   Video will be available very soon.

Thai Elephant Trek…Mahout Style

// March 10th, 2010 // 2 Comments » // Uncategorized, thailand, travel tips

Talk about an amazing experience!  My friends and I learned how to ride an elephant like a true Mahout (a person who looks after and drives an elephant.)  There were no baskets…we were one with the animals.  This was all thanks to the folks at the elephant camp at the Anantara Resort and spa near Chiang Rai, Thailand.  This facility is unlike any other I’ve seen:  5 star service, wonderful people and amazing animals.  This was a true treat!

Fish Massage In Thailand. You Gotta Try It

// March 8th, 2010 // 2 Comments » // Uncategorized, just cool, travel tips

I flew 18 hours non-stop from Los Angeles to Bangkok, had a 2 hour layover, then flew another hour to Chiang Rai (in Northern Thailand) all to experience a Thai Massage.  This wasn’t what I had in mind but was worth it!
