On my recent trip to Seattle, a few of the things I really wanted to see – the Seattle Art Museum – was closed on the days I had booked to see them. It was my own fault (yes, even us Internet famous travel people fail to plan accurately) – and I was frustrated, even [...]

I just departed for another long trip – about 7 weeks this time. The New York Times once said the worst part of travel is booking it on the web – not a problem for anyone here since we have Donna, our travel concierge, to help with that thorny issue. For me, the worst part [...]

On my recent trip to Cambodia, we hired a guide for both the Siem Reap and Phnom Phen portions of our trip. I always get a bit uncomfortable when hiring a guide – I never know if we’ll not have the same expectations of what I want out of the trip. I worry that I’ll [...]
