…Yesterday I was on Your World with Neil Cavuto on FOX News; which is one of my favorite shows to do as I like Neil a lot. We discussed the new EPA regulations for airlines carbon emissions and also the new carry-on bag sizes that airlines are mulling changing to. Have a watch and I apologize that I had to record it off the TV as they didn’t post the segment-that happens a lot with TV. Enjoy!…

…hich is located on the outskirts of town about 2 miles off the highway. My newly renovated room was really nice, spacious, had a great king bed and ample outlets both at the desk and next to the bed-which is so important! I hate when hotels don’t have enough outlets or they’re poorly placed. It had an indoor pool, hot tub and did I mention there was a Jacuzzi in my living room as well! But the most important thing for me was the in and out conveni…
I Was Underwhelmed With Porto

…at. I freely admit that I didn’t do as much homework as I normally do on a new city I visit. I’m not exactly sure why. Perhaps it’s because I’m always so busy; which is true. But I think it’s more so, I figured it would just flow easier as a city. Porto is a small city but fairly complex in terms of eating. In terms of drinking it’s no problem. You can get great wine just about anywhere and Porto’s nightlife scene is pretty good on weekends albeit…

…od balls and scallops. The presentations were always cool and the waiters knew their stuff and of course English was spoken, in fact our waiter lived in Boston for years. This was is high contrast to anywhere we ate in Porto! The prices were also very reasonable at Minibar. The same type of meal in New York would have been 2-3 the price. Even with several cocktails each, our bill was only about 80 euros. I’ll take that any day of the week for a qu…

…ame about Seattle in the rain versus when it’s sunny. Cities like Rome and New York can be very dirty in places for sure. However, there is so much beauty in each city that they must be included in a list like this.

…ign transaction fees. But if you’ll remember my trip to Mauritius with the new SPG Amex card this past summer to help announce the elimination of foreign transaction fees with the SPG Amex card; you wouldn’t have to worry about them if it was International! Guam is a cool island. I would certainly recommend renting a car and driving around the island. It rained in Guam, the first two days I was there this trip so my photos didn’t come out great. B…

…rld cup. It’s basically the Super Bowl of Europe. That’ll be hosted at the new Atletico Madrid stadium, which I’ve not yet been to. Madrid is also host to a Masters tennis tournament in May at the Caja Magico. It’s one of 2 tennis Masters events I’ve not yet been to so I have some reasons to come back to Madrid soon! Parks Retiro Park in Madrid is one of, if not the best urban park I’ve ever been to and I live near Central Park in New York. It’s a…

Those sites are all great and of course man made but are they one of the 30 best man made sites in the world? Obviously, that depends who you ask but from someon…
A Day in Bahrain

…x held there each April. Otherwise, it’s the little brother to every other new Gulf nation more or less. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a very rich country and has been preposterously overbuilt but it just doesn’t have the star power of Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha or even Kuwait. However, a day in Bahrain is worthwhile. I arrived into Bahrain via my ship, the Azamara Journey. I was to have a day in Bahrain to get caught up on all that’s changed in the…
