My Blogger of the Year Acceptance Speech After 4 months of traveling there are so many people to thank, in no particular order, thank you, all of you. Tara and I appreciate all of you. And thanks to everyone who read this stuff, it was actually a lot of fun to write. Rob and Carl- Dublin became our home base for family, planning, and learning about Ireland and Europe. It was always nice to have these two guys take us in periodically and do everything they could to help us stay healthy, happy and on track. You guys are good friends. [View Full Entry]

London Bridges Falling Down Have you ever gone out drinking and thought, “man this is boring or same ol same old.” Then friend I have the answer for you, I give you legalized gambling on……MONOPOLY!!! In some of the bars in England they have the Monopoly game where you answer trivia questions and then win actual cash. Me and Matt won 10 Euros after spending only 3. If you were able to put together a solid team, you could basically show up at a bar, play, have fun, drink for free and maybe even walk away with a little cash. Had [View Full Entry]

Mind the Gap Mind the Gap- A Comprehensive Guide to All My Thoughts In and About London Getting to London only furthered the nightmare that became travelling on planes, trains, boats and taxis. It took us 52 hours and cost about a $1000 to get from Rome to London, but we finally made it. I’d go over how awful and hellish it was, but instead I will only speak of two highlights, first and foremost travelling on ferries in the mediteranian is sweet as pie. They have resturants, bars, casinos, rooms with showers, and a movie theatre. The second highlight is [View Full Entry]

Motherland Part 3 -Down the Rome Stretch I find it hilarious that despite my warning to strangers not to read my Croatia blog or write me about it, i still received four angry emails and 1 genuinely nice email that restored my faith in Croatia. Still, it baffles my mind that people always have to wiss on the electric fence regardless of the clear warnings. Much hype surrounded Rome in my head. After Venice and Florence, I was licking my chops at what Rome may have to offer me and my European Travel Universe. We rolled into the train station on [View Full Entry]

My Sweet Motherland After the buttfuck that was Croatia, we had arrived in the motherland. For months in advance I had planned on kissing the ground of Italy once I stepped foot on it. My plan was instantly foiled when I arrived in Venice. I had two choices, kiss the train floor which was sure to be riddled with all the hepatitis’s, stds, pigeon shit and urine. I soon discovered that my only other option was to stick my face in the water, because there was absolutely no ground really to kiss. I opted to kiss Tara on the face instead. [View Full Entry]

Asian Ninja Massages and Jew Pac Shakur Before I tell you the story of Budapest, I think everyone should be aware of the freebies that exist in life. At any hostel, especially in San Francisco, exists the book exchange. Here you can find many books left by hostel visitors and travelers with a wide variety of choices to choose from. Since I started book swapping in Berlin I’ve taken up a renewed interest in reading. Many other book exchange programs exist out there by mail, but with this one you get to see what you’re exchanging and there’s no postage due. [View Full Entry]

So tara and i have been in a bit of a fight lately. See tara faces a tough decision. Her final performance of her Broadway show, ALL MY SONS, is on the same night at the Golden Globes, where i am nominated for my supporting role in Tropics of Thunder. Personally i've seen the play and Tara does a lousy job and the play sucks, but my movie rules almost as much as Scientology. I am ike the king of the Globes, their most desired participant for TV ratings, bigger even than Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. I know my new [View Full Entry]
