We picked up our Tower of London tickets at the booth and headed off to the entrance. It was late in the day, so my friend and I would have to rush through the huge complex to squeeze in as many highlights as possible before they booted everyone out. But there was no way I […]

A Scaring Experience at the Stanley Hotel
I looked out the peephole one last time. Disappointed, I sighed. No one was outside. I had hoped to have one more good laugh, jumping out at someone stopping by for a souvenir photo, but it was time to check out. So my fun would have to wait until a return visit to the Stanley […]
An Historical Ghost Tour of Honolulu

I saw the Ghost Adventures show profiling the hotel and immediately booked a stay; after previous spooky experiences, I knew […]
Weird U.S.
What travel is to one person it may not be to another; it’s all very subjective and personal. The book Weird U.S.: Your Travel Guide to America’s Local Legends and Best Kept Secrets reminded me of this once again. It’s not as though I see many of the things in the book as actual travel-related […]
