An Unexpected Discovery at the Louisiana Capitol Building

It’s nice to be surprised. Such was the case in Baton Rouge last week. I had a few hours of free time after lunch and wandered throughout downtown. Just for the fun of it, my travel partner and I decided to wander into the Capitol Building. We were glad we did. Today’s post features a photo tour of the history we discovered…

Our first stop was the Senate Chamber. With the doors wide open we were able to take a peak inside.

The Sargent at Arms even showed us an explosive piece of history, literally.

I Can’t Wait For…in America

I’m arriving home today to the United States of America after 48 days in South Africa. It’s always sad to leave South Africa, but there’s truly no place like home. 48 days is a long time to be away. I’ve given up a lot to complete this special project and I want to first thank my partner Brian for supporting me and my world travels. While I’m globe trotting he’s taking care of our dog Scampy, our fish Nemo and everything else to keep the house in tip-top shape. So I’m very much looking forward to returning to him. In addition, there are a lot of other things I’ve missed that I’m looking forward to. In no particular order…

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.

Traveling Through Denver International Airport

Non-stop flights are the best. But sometimes one has to make a layover in order to get to their final destination. Last week I found myself at Denver International Airport, DEN. With the few spare minutes I had, I made a video of some of the things I discovered at the airport. You’ll notice I’m sporting my new Cowboy Hat. I’ll tell you more about that in a future post.
Until then, enjoy this brief video from the Denver Airport. I’ll see you out there…
