Sometimes, for some trips, you have to work the night shift. This is the case anytime I go to Manila. On the one hand, it’s great! Since the office I’m visiting is open during American hours, I never get jet lagged (exhausted, but not jet lagged). On the other hand, it can be really hard…
Many people in my life love to travel. Some of them go to incredible places, and are far more adventurous than I. One of these friends is headed to Iceland next year. While we were discussing his upcoming trip (of which I am super jealous) he told me a story that happened on another of…

This is yet another post that could be titled “Home Warrior Saves the Day.” Over the weekend, the Home Warrior and I went to Playa del Carmen for a close friend’s wedding. We had a great time and the wedding was lovely, so of course we were sad yesterday when it was time to head…
