Last week’s post may have caught you by surprise; Your eyes weren’t fooling you. I was wearing a cowboy hat!
After a successful week at work in the City of Calgary, my host and client wanted to thank my colleague and I for a job well-done with a Calgary Tradition: A White Hat. Out of respect for my client and my personal full-time job, I won’t share the details of what I did to earn the hat, but the tradition in Calgary dates back all the way to 1961. But the popularity of the hat goes back even further.

I did make a visit over the weekend and wrote about it here – in case you’d like to see what it was all about. Thanks for visiting! We’ll now return you to your regularly scheduled blog content.

I know it’s Tuesday and the weekend seems so far away, but you’ll want to block some time in your calendar for what looks like to be a fantastic event. I sure am!

Growing up, I used to watch The Price is Right every morning at 11 A.M. during school break. Watching the show tape with host Bob Barker was on My Adventure List – until he retired. However, I’ve always been fascinated with the Entertainment Industry and love watching how the magic happens. On Sunday I had the opportunity to watch The Ellen Show tape at Universal Orlando. This was my first television taping experience. So I’ve created some tips to help your first taping be successful.
1. Get Your Tickets

Life has moved on since the Ultimate Thailand Explorers Competition. There are new countries to explore, places to visit and things to do. When the announcement was made in January that we won “Best Sponsor Promotion”, a prize packet was sent to the house. It was loaded with great prizes. So I thought I would quickly share with what we took home…

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted interesting signs I’ve spotted throughout my travels. While I was at the Calgary Airport in Canada I came across a sign on March 13th taped to a Coca-Cola vending machine.
Perhaps the gurus in the marketing department could benefit from an intern to draft a new sales campaign. Or maybe operations could fix the machine? Just a thought…but what do I know about vending machines?
What do you think readers? Would you take the risk and purchase a soda? Yes or No? Comment below.

I grew up in Massachusetts, but now call Orlando my home. I’ve had my fair share of snow, ice and bitter cold temperatures – that’s what helped convince me to move to Florida. The only time I miss the snow is around Christmas. But come January 2nd, I’m ready for the beach. So, when I learned I was traveling to Canada in the winter I was not looking forward to the runny noses, chapped lips and layers of clothing that come with the cold weather.

One of my favorite television shows is The Amazing Race, What adventurer wouldn’t want to travel the world on someone else’s expense account for a chance for a million dollars? There’s just one catch, the odds of being selected seem insurmountable. Fortunately for all of you making a trip to Florida over the next months, you can participate in your own race adventure: The City Scramble.
I had the opportunity to connect with Nicole from The City Scramble to learn more about this event in Orlando on Saturday, March 27th.
Published March 19, 2010 at 12:00 am | Email This PostI thought I would finish out the week with another post from the Ultimate Thailand Explorers Archive. Today’s post is from the Thai Alangkarn Theater [originally published 20/12/09]. A cultural show on a grand scale. It’s a must see for anyone to Pattaya.
Have a great weekend and do something great!

Hey Explorers,
We’re going to come right out and say it, you should see the “Thai Extravaganza Show” at the Thai Alangkarn Theater. “What is it,” you may be asking? It’s everything. It’s music, dance, storytelling, arial acrobatics, special effects, pyrotechnics, audience participation and pure magic. It bills itself as “The Extravaganza Show” and it certainly lives up to it’s name.

Check out my facebook fan page. It’s available here.

Pattaya is working hard to change it’s appeal from being an adult-oriented destination to one that appeals to families. Mini Siam narrows this gap with a fun afternoon out for the little ones you brought with you on your vacation.
