Getting to the British Virgin Islands

The Rambler — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 07:09:38 +0000

I recently returned from the British Virgin Islands, and I promise more on that trip will be forthcoming. In the interim, I wanted to quickly let people know some ways of getting to the British Virgin Islands, as they are not the most accessible destination. One way to get to the British Virgin Islands is to [...]

United Airlines Increases prices of alcohol

The Rambler — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 18:51:39 +0000

On my last flight across the country, I was told by the flight attendant that the price of alcohol on United flights has risen from $5 to $6 (for economy class, Business and First remain free). It’s not that big of an increase, and I can understand why given the price of fuel, it just [...]

The Rambler flies to Detroit

The Rambler — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:16:59 +0000

Let me start by saying that I’m naming this post ‘The Rambler Flies to Detroit’ because I don’t feel that I actually was there. I took off from San Francisco at 12:40am local time, then landed in Detroit at 8:08am local time. Now most “normal” people would spend a night before flying back; not I! [...]

The Rambler visits Cuba

The Rambler — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 04:07:41 +0000

Last time I spoke about traveling to Estonia. Cuba on the other hand, was like a slice out of the 1950s. Seeing the old Chevrolet cars rolling down the streets was incredible. What’s even more amazing is that they’ve kept them running for so long. I know my Toyota won’t be running in another 40 [...]

The Rambler visits Estonia

The Rambler — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 18:57:28 +0000

Of all the places I have traveled, Estonia and Cuba were undoubtedly the most interesting. Traveling through Estonia, and particularly Tallinn was like traveling back in time. The cobble streets, and medieval looking buildings were incredible. One awesome thing I didn’t know before going is that Estonia actually has one of the most [...]

I’ve slowly been compiling the list of where I’ve been and have added it to the trip advisor mapping system. I’ll try to update the map whenever I go somewhere new, but can’t guarantee I won’t miss a few :)! .

The Moorings

The Rambler — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 21:45:13 +0000

I wanted to follow up with my previous post regarding The Moorings. If you’re not interested in taking in the Caribbean, The Moorings offers charters at other locations as well. Some, but by no means all, of these include France, Italy, Greece, Baja California, New Zealand, and Tahiti. Additionally, depending on your skill and comfort levels, [...]

Traveling to the Caribbean

The Rambler — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 20:00:49 +0000

In a few weeks time I will be embarking on a journey to the British Virgin Islands. I fly overnight from San Francisco to Washington, DC, have a layover for around an hour, then I fly to the US Virgin Islands, where I take a ferry to Tortola. For those of you who have been [...]

The Canadian Rockies up close

The Rambler — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 18:03:19 +0000

Some of todays best trips include “non-traditional” venues and activities. Some of them might include eco-lodging (environmentally sound), adventure travel, or working vacations. The Royal Canadian Pacific rail is one such trip offering. Royal Canadian Pacific offers a 6 day trip through the Canadian Rockies where you will travel West from Calgary past Banff [...]
