I have a few free hours b4 my flight back to London, so I am walking around Dublin. I was last here in 1996. It has grown a lot since then. The Guinness still tastes the same though.

Date: June 17th, 2004 | No Comments
When most travelers imagine Peru, the first thing that pops to mind is Machu Picchu and the ancient capital of the Inca empire, Cusco – still the oldest inhabited city in South America.

3) Got online and try to catch up after a weekend of fishing in Northern Quebec
I am meeting [...]
Good Thing My Mother Wasn’t Around to Hear Me

This is what I saw when I walked into my bathroom ten minues ago. After a minor heart attack and a few swear words, I screamed for my roommate, Dave. Apparently, his friend had left Dave’s closet door open, along with the bedroom door. I think that Bets, the six-year-old boa, is [...]

Calling all Portland BNAllers! This Thursday (May 6), the bootie crew will be heading out to PGE Park for Thirsty Thursday fun. I’ve never been, but apparently this means lots of people and lots of cheap beer. We plan on showing up around 6, but the baseball game starts at 7. [...]

One of the things that tends to happen when I talk to people about my job at BootsnAll is the, "Oh, you're so lucky!" moment. I do consider myself extremely fortunate to be able to write about travel every day - to do something I love so much that work doesn't feel …

Those of you who read the BootBlog may remember my recent musings on how online friends become real-life friends. What some of you who read that article may not know is that I heard from several BootsnAll members after it was published who said, "Yeah, that's interesting and all, but we've been doing that for years now." And it's … [Read more]

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 …
