Last night I participated in a great media event for the new Nokia N95 phone at the top of Rockefeller Center which overlooks all of Manhattan. It was a first class event featuring media from all over. I did an on camera interview with Dow Jones and met with several print magazine editors including Budget Travel and Mens Journal. It was really exciting. The event featured multiple plasma TV’s around a big room continuously playing the video that…

I Hate the Airlines
November 12, 2007 by 4 Comments
…he lead airline on a split ticket I have with them and US Air to return to New York from Cabo. I want to come back a day early and they say that there is no availability on any single airline leaving Cabo for New York tomorrow all day. However, if I want, I can buy a one way ticket for tomorrow and be able to get on a flight. Now if they were full, how can I buy a ticket for tomorrow when they said they can’t switch my ticket? This is just one rea…
Delhi is Maddening

…m all walks of life. Delhi will make you long for the “slow paced” life of New York City because compared to Delhi, everywhere is slow paced. Delhi will make you scream and yell and start to act in ways you would never dream toward other people and wandering animals. Delhi is the trip of all trips and you can get sky high from your own sensory overload. I never dreamed of a place as crazy as Delhi. I have been everywhere from Cairo to Bangkok to J…

…, and withdrew from Vietnam. Rather than recognizing the Communists as the new government, they gave their backing to a government established by Emperor B?o ??i. B?o ??i had set up Saigon as his capital in 1950. When Vietnam was officially partitioned into North Vietnam (the Democratic Republic of Vietnam) and South Vietnam (the Republic of Vietnam), the southern government, led by President Ngô ?ình Di?m, retained Saigon as its capital. At the c…
Genos vs. Pats Philly Cheesesteaks

…elphia is a fun city to visit for weekend and is only 90 minutes away from New York and is very easy to get to. It has a lot of what New York has but just a lot different with a Baltimore meets Boston feel to it. I personally love to go there and eat at the great restaurants and of course the cheesesteaks and water ice don’t hurt either. And if you’re a total movie geek like me then don’t forget to run the steps just like Stallone did in Rocky-jus…
Studying Abroad

…n fact, at the time I didn’t even know there were many other options as I knew a few people from school who had gone to London and one of my best friends was going as well. I went in Fall 1998 which was before the Internet was really big and I didn’t have the access to different programs that they have today. Today you can easily go to programs on all continents. I have gotten emails from people studying abroad in Cape Town, Buenos Aires, Prague,…

…least 2 or 3 times a year and each time I leave to come back home to cold New York, I wonder why I don’t live there. Obviously there are many negatives, mainly the traffic, but I love the restaurants, the laid back vibe with the healthy outdoorsy lifestyle that many people live. This past weekend I stayed in Hermosa Beach which was the first time I have stayed at one of the LA beach towns in years since I stayed in Manhattan Beach in 2000. It is…
The Democratic Political Process?
March 7, 2008 by 2 Comments
…former Presidential candidate Howard Dean comes on TV and says they both knew the rules and we have to abide by these rules. Why are they the rules if they make no sense? Again, who cares-so they moved the primaries up-does that matter? Are people in these two states incapable of making up their minds sooner? And regardless, can they possibly take away millions of peoples’ votes because of this? Is this America? I am not for either of these two c…
US Sports Are Back-Finally!

…s the weather gets warmer, even though it’s below freezing this morning in New York, the sun will rise again with the beginning of another great sports year. I haven’t even begun to fill out my brackets yet with my predictions but I am just excited at the idea of having nonstop college hoops to watch all weekend for the next 3 weeks including two weekends from now when I will be in Las Vegas to watch the sweet 16 and elite eight! Then, as soon as…
Living in Australia

…of hard to explain exactly what it is, but he worlds greatest cities like New York, London, Paris, Moscow, Tokyo all have it. Sydney certainly fits that bill. In my view, Sydney is basically the capital of the Southern Hemisphere with great beaches, nightlife, restaurants, quality of life and places to live. You can be in the city or be secluded, it’s up to you. I would choose Melbourne second and it’s a very close second because Melbourne has a…
