August 1st. I can’t believe that the month that marks the end of summer is here already. It barely started!
Anyway, a lot of things have been happening behind the scenes at BootsnAll, and I have a few minutes on this Sunday morning before I go to the gym and watch Greg Maddux and [...]

This Thursday night/Friday morning, at 1 am, I am heading back to my beautiful home state, Minnesota. Apparently, I haven’t learned my lesson from my earlier two red-eye flights from hell, and felt compelled to take another one. At least this time, I’ll actually be at my destination longer than 48 to 64 [...]

We were expecting a new styled VW Microbus to debut in 2005. But according to this article, production has been halted. Damn – Chris and I wanted to get one and send it on the road for more then 26 days every 2 years.

I’ve been doing some stuff for BaliBlog today, and I got to thinking about visiting. I’ve mentioned this before, but I was supposed to visit Bali in December of 2002. After the bombing in October, however, I changed my mind and decided to spend time in Western Australia instead. Although I loved [...]

Date: June 15th, 2004 | No Comments
So the weather than everyone always raves about in Oregon has arrived! Which is a good thing, because the office is currently lacking a roof. I drove by today and was amazed at the gaping holes…and not a worker to be seen. Hopefully the sun will hold out [...]

Date: June 8th, 2004 | 1 comment
While Donovan, Sean and Dave have been slaving away, I’ve been taking a few quickie trips, first back to Chicago to visit friends and then to Colorado for a friend’s wedding. It’s been quite awhile since I’ve done weekend adventures (via plane) and I forgot how exhausting they are. In a week and a half, [...]

With a couple of stints working in South …

Awhile back I posted here about getting into the Boston Globe Travel Show for free. Turns out that was for the trade conference during the day on Friday Feb 19th, not the travel show for regular consumers like you and me that runs from the evening of Friday, February 19 to …
