So this past fall was the sixth year straight that I’ve attended the World’s largest festival — Oktoberfest in Munich. I’ve been accompanied on these Oktoberfest by a varying number of friends over the years — this year was no exception, as there were six of us including my fiancé, who was making her…
My favorite trip of the year is always my annual pilgrimage to Munich for the World’s largest festival — Oktoberfest! This coming year will be the sixth year in a row that I’ve attended the Wiesn in Germany, so I’ve learned on the fly, but at this point, I think I know what I’m doing pretty…
We arrived in Dubai at the interesting hour of around 8pm and quickly disembarked from my somewhat disappointing flight in United Business First from Washington-Dulles. We were given express passes for immigration, but this didn’t seem to matter much. The walk from the gate to immigration is pretty substantial, and by the time we reached…
For my return flights home to Washington, DC, I intentionally booked a twenty-two hour layover in Tokyo between my inbound flight on Air China from Shanghai and my final leg in ANA First Class to Washington-Dulles. Why, you ask? Because I freakin’ love Tokyo. And my buddy had never been. That, my friends is an opportunity…
Since my first time to Hong Kong during grad school back in 2009, I’ve referred to Hong Kong as my favorite city in the World. After a third trip back, I still think it’s my favorite city anywhere. There’s just so much that this metropolis has to offer. From the markets to the vistas…

After two weeks and just under 22,000 miles of travel around the world, I’m finally getting acclimated to the real world after arriving back in Washington from Tokyo last week. I’d initially planned to publish trip reports as I went on this trip, but after a pretty intense first few days of Oktoberfest in Munich, that whole…

I’m writing this post from about 35,000 feet on a US Airways flight somewhere in between Washington’s Reagan National Airport and Phoenix en route to Las Vegas! I’m heading out to the desert with my girlfriend in tow for this weekend’s Boarding Area blogger Conference… better known as BAcon! The primary reason for the…
We spent three nights at the Park Hyatt Melbourne, where we watched Auburn play in the BCS National Championship Game before touring the city.
