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.

David Update

Poker Friends in The Money
I have two friends who had significant cashes yesterday in poker tournaments. Neither did as well as they wanted, but both achievements are very notable. First, Matt Matros finished 7th at the WPT North American Championship in Niagara Falls. The tournament had 454 entries,…
3rd (and final) Presidential debate
I really wish the candidates would agree to more debates. The standard 3 really doesn’t cut it for me, and 1 VP debate isn’t enough either. Barack Obama and John McCain met at Hofstra University last night. I think Bob Schieffer did a pretty…
