When I consider the promise of future technology from movies and TV shows from when I was a kid, I think about flying cars in Blade Runner and tricorders in Star Trek. But most of all, I've always wanted a teleporter like they used in The Fly (with less horrifying results), Duck Dodgers, and sure, Star Trek.
Read MoreIt's too much. Taking up two different bags within my laptop bag is something I can no longer abide. And what you're seeing is less than what I started with, having conduced two minor purges during the journey.
Read MoreAs I stood right before the jetway, a started sweating. So far, I'd found the customer service fiasco stories of budget airlines to be largely myths. That, or I'd just gotten lucky on the few short-hops I'd made. This would be different, as 14 hours isn't a small hop. And the issue wasn't just bad customer service. I heard some absolute horror stories about Aeroflot, justifying the sweats.
Read MoreIt's the rainy season, which means the winds have shifted, bringing winds and rains directly from India across the Andaman sea almost every day.
Read More"In a house on this site lived Thomas Linacre, Physician. 1460 - 1524"
Read MoreHow we've treated London is partly to blame. It's only been our destination once, and that was more for work than pleasure. The times before that, London was a stop-over on our way to somewhere else.
Read MoreI gave a keynote talk at UnGagged London 2015, and it went really well!
Read MoreI dread buying a new camera bag just about as much as I do buying jeans. The struggle to find the right fit for either just leaves me frustrated and upset. Up until last August, I'd carried the same camera bag for about eight years. It was a small green backpack that Lowpro has since discontinued. My friend's called it my "turtle shell", and it fit me perfectly.
Read MoreThe trials and tribulation of travel blogging caught up to us in the worst place possible -- paradise.
Read MoreWhat's worse than being surrounded by angry bees? First finding out you probably don't have a hotel room in Barcelona, and then hanging out with angry bees. True story.
Read MoreThe best walk in Santiago de Compostela has nothing to do with pilgrims, and everything to do with quality craft beer.
Read MoreLast night, we met a young woman named Claudia. Or was it Claudia?
Read MoreIn this Video Diary, we take you -- in only about 2 minutes -- on the trip from Brión to Santiago de Compostela for quick trip through the city. Well... that was the intent. Then... beer.
Read MoreBeerLab looks and feels like any other craft beer bar and restaurant you'd stumble across in Denver, Portland, or even Phoenix. Four of the six tap handles rotate through mostly Galician craft beer.
Read MoreOur first week in Galicia -- northern Spain -- was outstanding. We made plenty of friends, stumbled across a protest, and managed to find the place with quality craft beer. Surprised? No, probably not.
Read MoreAs cheap as the buses, they get a lot cheaper if you pick up a tarxeta metropolitana, a card that you "charge", saving you money, handling transfers, and doing all the other complex bookkeeping in the background
Read MoreIt's not all that likely you have Sheffield on your list of places to visit anytime soon. But it's a sizable city in Yorkshire, so it's not unthinkable that your travels might take you there.
Read MoreBar snacks in Galicia take on a whole new meaning. At first, I thought it was some special treatment we were getting because we were hanging out with the locals. Now, a week into the journey, I've realized it's insidious and systemic. They're trying to kill me with food.
Read MoreSome professional travelers deeply research their destinations, mapping out the majority of their trip, reading up on local customs and quirks, and learning the local language/dialect. We are not those travelers.
Read MoreCan you believe we made friends within five minutes of getting out of a cab, to the point where we were asked to take place in a guitar-swapping birthday party in Spain? Of course you can. It's us!
