The Kitchen by Wolfgang Puck, LAX Terminal 6, Los Angeles CA USA

I honestly didn’t think I’d be making this trip again. Exactly 12 months later. But alas, visiting my grandfather brings such great joy to me, I felt beyond lucky to be seeing him, even if it was only for 24hrs. Rachel warned me Terminal 6 sucked, but I still wanted to get there early for […]

Suiran, Kyoto, Japan

Soooooo much sightseeing. Our feet were aching from miles and miles of walking through the narrow streets of Kyoto. Halfway through our trip and at least 12 solid Japanese meals in, my body (and mind) needed something satisfying in a different way. Our first day away from Hokkaido, I used points to book us at […]

15 degrees. I hadn’t experienced cold weather in quite some time. This was a fact I was proud of. But at the same time, something about the sharp, bitter air was exciting. It was fun being a tourist in this climate. CES followed by the Detroit Auto Show. 2 of the biggest respective industry events […]

Norton Simon Museum, Pasadena, CA USA

Our first relaxing Saturday afternoon in Pasadena together in months… and we were bored. Our lives are constantly moving and sitting around the apartment all day just doesn’t appeal to us. TripAdvisor revealed the Norton Simon Museum is the #1 attraction in this area, so we threw on some clothes and made the 5 minute […]

Picazo Cafe & Deli, Sonoma, CA USA

I was speaking at a conference in Sonoma and, as it came to an end, decided to take the scenic route from the Doubletree Hotel to Sacramento, my next stop. Winding through beautiful countryside, I had no idea where I was going, and I preferred it that way. My phone’s GPS was always there for […]
