I am headed to Southern California this afternoon for a few days on my way to Perth, Australia to get my next trip started to 8 new TCC destinations; Christmas Island, Cocos Island; Tasmania, Lord Howe Island, Norfolk Island, Chatham Islands, Cook Islands and Niue. I will have intermittent stops in Singapore, Perth, Sydney, Auckland […]
Dangerous Mountain Roads and Passes
April 26, 2011 by 4 Comments
CNN today listed their idea of the 10 most dangerous roads in the world. I have to say that I do agree with several of the choices. I have driven 4 of the 10 they listed and another 3 I would love to do but politics and war make some of them quite difficult; namely […]
PS 7 Washington DC
April 25, 2011 by 1 Comment
Washington DC is one of my favorite cities in the United States. I went to college right outside the District at Maryland and essentially grew up going to DC a lot. One of my favorite places to go out to and eat at is PS 7 Restaurant. PS 7 is a chic and cool restaurant/lounge […]
Joe’s Pizza NYC
April 20, 2011 by 8 Comments
Joe’s Pizza is simply the quintessential New York slice. That pretty much sums it up accurately. It is fast, easy and fantastic. There are no frills at Joe’s. It’s just a walk up place for slices with a few pictures on the wall of some celebrities that have eaten there. The same three guys work […]

Where is this statue of Napoleon? The guesses should be pretty narrow with this one. Please comment your guesses and I’ll post the right answer later today. Good luck! It is the place of Napoleon’s birth in Ajaccio, Corsica. I guess it was an easy one.
Yama Sushi NYC

Aside from all Italian food but especially pizza, sushi is probably my second favorite food. In New York City there are all types of fancy places that are really expensive and you don’t even get that much unless you spend a fortune. I know places that charge upwards of $20 for a simple roll or […]
Peasant NYC

So I’ve decided to add a new feature to my site. Since travel, sports, current events and food are some of my biggest passions and I write about the other three, I have decided to start doing restaurant reviews in more detail than just mere mention in my posts…so to speak. I travel all over […]
The Barry Bonds Trial
April 14, 2011 by 9 Comments
In lieu of the verdict on the Barry Bonds perjury trial yesterday I feel like going off for a little bit on the trial, the witch hunt, steroids, the state of baseball and the potential for the Hall of Fame for all these tainted players. As a huge die hard baseball fanatic, I am so […]
El Clásico x 4!!!
April 13, 2011 by 4 Comments
In my opinion this is the best time of the year for sports because we just had the Masters and the NCAA basketball tournament and baseball has finally started. The NBA and NHL are heading into 2 months of playoffs, the European soccer leagues are coming down to crunch time and the Champions League is […]
Where is this Untouched Pacific Paradise?
April 11, 2011 by 17 Comments
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekends and the awesome Masters tournament (if you like golf). Where is this unreal and unspoiled white sand beach that has essentially been untouched for decades. Please comment your guesses and I will post the correct answer later in the day. Good luck! It is on Midway Island. The former […]
