Happy Halloween!
The last time I celebrated Halloween was in 2006. Yes, it’s been almost 5 years since I put on a costume, handed out candy and enjoyed the revelry of celebrating our darkest fears. From 2007-2010 I have been out of the country on business: Three years in South Africa and one in Canada.
Travel Tip: Trick-or-Treaters don’t visit hotels. And TSA Agents don’t wear Halloween costumes either (but some people in airports do).
Holiday are important. But like a lot of things that are important, we don’t recognize how special they are until we lose them.

Why Winning a Bowling Tournament is Like Blogging
Last year you may remember my post on “How to Get Your Name on a Plaque at a Bowling Alley“. Well… on Saturday night, my bowling league held it’s end of the year awards ceremony and I am excited to share that for the 2nd year in a row, I have won the tournament of 128 bowlers.
What was the secret?
I make no claims to be an expert bowler, my average is a steady 142. But playing regularly, remaining focused on the goal, getting lucky and enjoying the ride all contributed to preserving my name and reputation for posterity – in the foyer of a bowling alley!

Start by traveling in your own back yard! When’s the last time you visited a museum, or checked out a new part of town? Travel is more of a mind set and doesn’t have to be to far off destinations (although those can be nice too!)

1. Photo Calendars
It’s an annual holiday gift from me to friends and family (yep friends and family, you know what you’re getting from me this year). I find the best of the best photos I took from my travels over the year and print a custom calendar from CVS. The price is right, quality is great, they ship fast, everyone needs a calendar and this is a very personal and inspiring gift.

For all you American Readers, welcome back from the Thanksgiving Holiday. For everyone, I have a question for you…
What’s Your New Year’s Resolution?
I know that’s not a question you’re used to hearing in November. Probably like many of you, I did some traveling this holiday break and went to Ft. Lauderdale to attend a Softball Tournament. I’m a spectator, not a player. With 15 hours at the ball field with my feet against the fence, I had some downtime to think about my New Year’s Resolution for this travel blog.
