The Makings of a Great Weekend

The Makings of a Great Weekend

What makes a great weekend? I often have thought about this and I certainly have blogged about this topic before, here is one from 2012.   I am a big post-mortem kind of guy, I like dissecting and analyzing weekends, trips, and visits. I like to go back and talk […]

Friday Wrap up: Interesting Things Are Afoot

Hainan, China, a resort that we might be promoting on GoNOMAD soon.

Revving up at the end of the week: Sometimes it takes me a whole week to feel in the groove, or that I’m getting much of anything done.  I have the same thing happen to me at end of the day.  At the close of business, I inevitably get a […]

Saturday Mornings Always Brim with Hope

Saturday Mornings Always Brim with Hope

It’s a Saturday morning at home. I relish these days, when I go back to sleep after waking at my customary hour of 7. Yep, get up, put the cat out and catch another glorious few hours of sleep, with no one needing to wake me. All of my adult […]

Let’s Try Getting the Airline Names Right, eh?

Let’s Try Getting the Airline Names Right, eh?

I love words and I love writers who nitpick and analyze our lazy conversational patterns. This blog piece by Patrick Smith, known as the pilot with a blog, captures perfectly the essence of how most people mess up the actual names of airlines.  Here he teaches us the real names […]

A Tommy gun like the ones used in the famous St Valentine

Yesterday we had a true mob double header here in fabulous Las Vegas.  First we spent two hours discovering more than anyone could ever possibly need to know about organized crime, those who did the deeds and those who spent their careers capturing the bad guys.  A true smorgasbord of […]

Downtown Las Vegas Loves the Old and is Proud of the New

Cameron Calloway, a local soul musician, wowed the crowd with his catchy and positive music at Backstage Bar and Billiards, during the Neon Reverb festival.

We’ve been here for enough days to really get a sense of what downtown Las Vegas is like….and we’ve seen a lot of this vibrant city with a downtown that’s dramatically different from the famous Strip at the other end of North Las Vegas Boulevard. The hotel where we’re staying, […]

Downtown Las Vegas Lights It Up!

This long covered walkway, lit up with a variety of video shows, is the canopy for thousands of people enjoying the exciting nightlife of downtown Las Vegas.

On my way from the airport to downtown Las Vegas, I asked my driver how hot it can get here. “I went to pick up my wife after work at 1 am, and it was 101 degrees!” he said. We are staying at the Downtown Grand Las Vegas, right near […]

Las Vegas is Next

Downtown Las Vegas

I’m heading to Las Vegas tomorrow, joining a group of writers and spending all of our time in downtown Las Vegas, not the famous strip. I’ve only been to this glittering city once, and then I spent the whole time on the strip, attending a trade show and not seeing […]

This photo was taken by a man named Greg who with his wife travels the US in his RV, they call their blog GreatAmericanAdventure.net.

Sometimes I just love my job, so much that I want to share some of the wonderful images that I get to work with, plus some that I shoot myself. I”m about to depart on Thursday for Las Vegas, and will have plenty of new photos. But here are a […]

Ice Bugs Could Really Help Around Here

Ice Bugs have studs that keep you from slipping even on sheer ice. Lifesavers!

These shoes have come up in several conversations with friends. First, someone told me about how she was becoming almost afraid to go out and walk because there were patches of ice that she might slip on, and did slip some times causing a lot of anxiety and fear. Then […]
