This year’s birthday party was definitely the best one yet! It was a Midwinter’s Day soirée that started in the beautiful, sunny, Sunday afternoon at the breathtaking Tinsley Estate in Bel Air, and meandered on through the fiery sunset and into the evening. Gary Reisman captured the festivities, and even brought a drone to get aerial pics of the gorgeous...
Aside from my awful GoPro video skills, this is so cool to see how freaking clear the water was in the Silfra fissure in Thingvellir National Park!!

by Alyssa Ramos We’ve all been there — inconveniently hungover on the morning that you’re supposed to be traveling. It sucks. A lot. But it’s not like you’re just going to rearrange your social life so you can be bright eyed and bushy tailed on your flight the next morning! You have to cheers with ALL of your friends, multiple times...
I couldn’t help but notice the large array of strange items that were for sale when I was in Thailand (from bags of fish juice, to wooden penises), so I wasn’t really surprised when I stumbled upon these little gems online. Of course my twisted mind saw one thing and led me on a highly amusing scavenger hunt to find more, so I hope you enjoy my efforts in...

Ah yes, taking a flight used to be thought of as so fancy that people would actually dress up for their flights, and look nice, and have manners, and be considerate of others, etc, etc. Now….not so much.
