- Eco-friendlier overland travel
- I have this crazy dream to travel the world and write (or blog) about it. But I also have this guilt about taking such trips because of the likelihood that I would have to fly to most destinations … or at least fly that big jump between North America and Europe. These companies and sites, however, [...] [11 Feb 2007]
- 10 things I know after visiting Barcelona
- Spanish Chorizo is, quite possibly, the yummiest thing you can do with pork. Fiat cars are fugly and Citroën cars are cute even when they’re not. Green tea flavored white chocolate is surprisingly tasty. Context can overcome a lot of language differences. Graffiti is a sign of a city’s vibrancy. Eating an unrefrigerated cold cut sandwich might not be such [...] [5 Jan 2007]
- North Georgia: Beechwood Inn and Tallulah Gorge State Park
- Ahh, nothing like a weekend in the North Georgia mountains. Friday night, Sweetie and I drove up to Clayton, Georgia (about 2 hours northeast of Atlanta) to stay at the Beechwood Inn (rates as of 9/24/06: $159 - $189 per night. Free Wi-Fi). One word: wonderful. [25 Sep 2006]

- What’s your travel style?

Our bones of contention: where to go, how to get there, and where to stay. I guess it comes down to travel styles. I’m more of an explorer type of person. I don’t [...] [30 Jun 2006]
- SXSW: Saturday on C.P.T.
- Saturday evening was the “Public Square or Private Club” panel with Melinda, Lisa and Barb. Panel went swimmingly well. Pretty much my entire blog fam was there to listen and participate. Post-panel the Black Student Union (as JT calls us) went to Ironworks for some barbecue. We spotted Lisa Ling on her way to the [...] [13 Mar 2006]
- JAWS camp part II: Getting to Mt. Hood, Timberline Lodge
- • Photos from the trip Riding to Mt. Hood was peaceful. Nothing but green trees and (mostly) open road. From part of Hwy. 26, you can see the summit of Mt. Hood in the distance. I was also impressed by Oregon’s drivers. In Georgia and South Carolina, everyone is a Jeff Gordon wannabe. Even the slowest [...] [15 Sep 2004]

This year, it was held at The Resort at Mt. Hood in Welches, OR. Welches is about 60 miles east of Portland. I flew on America West from Atlanta [...] [14 Sep 2004]
