Ritz Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara, CA USA

We needed a vacation. I felt guilty saying that, knowing so many people around the world were unemployed, including 30M here in America. But work during Covid-19 feels like riding a bicycle through mud – you’ll still get there, but you’ll have to try 10x as hard. And that has left both my wife and […]

Little America Hotel & Resort, Cheyenne WY USA

I ended up at Little America Hotel & Resort in Cheyenne, Wyoming thanks to my one of my partner’s great work in tourism for destinations throughout the state. A 36hr trip door to door, however, did not leave me a lot of time, and as the hours dwindled, I needed to drive back to the […]

Whiskey Street Cocktails & Dining, Salt Lake City, UT USA

Well, when the opportunity presented itself to find out, we decided to take it, the 45 minute drive only slightly deterring is. Ricky’s friends were “locals” – transplants from […]

Joe & The Juice, Sydney Airport, Sydney AUS

I was having the most stressful day ever. And for all the wrong reasons. What’s it like when you’re in sales, just attended your largest conference of the year, and all of your emails are going into everyone’s spam folder because of something that happened with Microsoft’s email exchange? It’s the absolute worst. My livelihood […]
