90 minutes, out

My goal in life is to fill my family’s passports with stamps, creating buckets of memories along the way. You’ll find me writing about realistic ways for normal people to travel the world, whether you’re on a budget or enjoy luxury.

Under Way
Cards should be in the air shortly. 1100 players registered now, but they allow late entries for 2 hours. For those following along with Christy, she’s in another part of the room, so updates from her will most likely come every 2 hours, on…

ER
Not sure how many people are still watching ER. My wife and I are behind on all of our TV watching, and on the way back from Italy, we finally got to watch the finale thanks to iTunes. My wife and I both used…
Italy-Leaving
While I’ve got plenty more pictures to post upon our return, we’re headed to the airport shortly. As we leave Rome for the second time, I wish we could stay longer. Both times we’ve been to Rome, we’ve come away feeling like we were…
Italy-Day 5 (Pompeii and Naples)
We drove late at night and ended up in the little town of Castrovilla, near the top of the Calabrian region. We woke up the next morning late, as Catherine stayed up partying until almost 5am. We set off for Pompeii, arriving around 4:30….
