Marty invited a few friends to join him on a NASCAR adventure. I flew up from Mexico to Washington State for a long weekend. Marty, Dirt, Inder and I drove down to the NASCAR races in Las Vegas Nevada this weekend. We all had an amazing time and it was one of the most fruitful picture taking adventures that I have ever experienced. I took over 1000 pictures but have posted my favorite 100 pictures in three separate blogs. One blog is pictures of NASCAR fans, the second is pictures of the vehicles spotted at the event, and this blog has pictures of the four of us and the terrain we covered driving (to and) from Vegas in Marty’s RV. Inder, Marty, and I have had a lot of fun over th... read more

Since I work online training people, it doesn't really matter where I live, so I live where I want. People have been talking about this day for decades, and its time a few of us start actually doing it. The bandwidth on the Internet is great enough that video calls, video document sharing, and audio realtime events are possible. So, as leaders, it is time to start asking an important question. Why are we driving to work in the morning? Why are we renting large buildings in expensive areas and asking our employees to spend 2 hours in the car every day? Why are we gathering in the same place every day? Is it so we can watch people work? Does that sound stupid to you? Why are you asking your employees to put up with ... read more

The idea when leaving India was to develop a geographically irrelevant existence. To be so useful to customers that they continue using my (patent law training) services without regard to where I am sitting. We are keeping our fingers crossed. So far so good. First stop, Mexico, the Caribbean side about an hour south of Cancun. While traveling all over the world, Kim and I always seemed to keep comparing places to Playa Del Carmen. So far it has stood up to our memories of it. The guilt that comes with this lifestyle is mounting. But we will do our best to endure. ... read more

We delayed our departure from India by three weeks when we heard that my mom (Maggie) and my sister (Kathleen) would be in Ireland. Our delay allowed us to move around the globe to coincide with their time in Ireland. Kathleen brought her boyfriend Chris and Maggie brought our friend Debbie. Adding Kim and I, we were six people traveling around Ireland in a rented mini-van for 8 days. We started in Belfast. The four had toured Belfast before Kim and I arrived, so the Grey Abbey was the only stop on the way out of Belfast. Chris's aunt and uncle met us at the Grey Abbey and his uncle (Raymond) was our private tour guide. After visiting Grey Abbey we headed west towards the west coast of Ireland. Along the way, we passed through Shercock ... read more

Luxor is a must see when you are in Egypt. It was more impressive than the Pyramids of Giza. Our top three favorites spots were the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Karnak, and the Habu Temple. Pick up a guide and car for the day while you are here. Just bargain at the airport when you land. We got a guide with car for 600 Egyptian Pounds for 4 people ($85). He drove us around and even recommended which temples for us to see. We didn't have Habu Temple on our list, but the guide recommended it, and it was one of our favorites. To give you a perspective on how old these structures are, both the Greeks and the Romans visited these temples as tourists over 2000 years ago. These temples were over ... read more

We stopped by Egypt for 3 days on our way from South Africa to Ireland. Mainly we wanted to see the Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Mummy Museum. We are in Ireland now with my mom and sister, so we don't have much time to type. I will add more later? Enjoy the pics! Top Things to Do in Cairo: 1. Egyptian Museum. King Tut's mummy (and daddy) are there along with a host of other artifacts. 2. Khan Ali-Kalili: Cairo’s biggest open air market. 3. Giza Pyramids 4. The Sphinx 5. Luxor: Fly down to Luxor for a day or two and see the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Karnak, and Habu Temple. Luxor is more impressive than the Giza Pyramids. In Cairo, do not stay at the Fairmont. They rent the ... read more
