I am sure there will be many snafu`s along the way and today was the first. After taking 2 buses in Edinburgh to get to the airport, having to unload 7 kg of weight from my bag (as easyjet first makes you pay to check a bag and then makes you pay if you are […]

Leaving London – so sad… (2008)
I`m really sad to leave London today. I have had a great time and actually know my way around places – like what way to exit the Tube or which way to turn out when leaving the Tube Station to get to my destination. Maybe that`s because I have been running around the city seeing […]
Isn’t London Lovely (2008)
I made it to London on Wednesday the 7th, and I can`t believe my adventure has officially started. Immigration – first speed bump of the trip. I hate to say I was shocked when I got to customs. I have cleared immigration so many times (in languages I didn`t speak), yet this was one of […]
Going back to California (2008)
One more trip back to California…that`s what I need before heading out on my world adventure. Trying to be practical, I was able to plan this trip around my friend Andy`s wedding so I could watch him finally tie the knot to Deanna – after 10 years of dating. Six days in California came and […]

Free at last…after my last day working (for a while), I fled the country for Jamaica and had an amazing time with Colin. I thought a fun trip was in order to kick off the next year of my life and celebrate my new adventure. This was the perfect start to my world wide adventure…but […]
Last Day At Bernstein…off to Jamaica (2008)
Today (4/4/2008) is my last day at Bernstein…kinda strange feeling after working here for almost 7 years. Sad to leave a wonderful company but it`s exciting to know such an amazing adventure is ahead of me in less than a month. I guess tomorrow, Saturday April 5th, starts the beginning of my new adventure year as […]
My Decision To Travel The World For A Year (2008)
Well I`ve been thinking about traveling around the world for many years and knew there would be a time in my life when I knew it was right and I know this is the time. After working at Bernstein for almost 7 years (both in San Francisco and New York), I want to move on and see […]
