Katie had a conference at Copper Mountain in Colorado, so our toddler and I tagged along. Copper Mountain is where I learned to ski when I was four years old, so it was a fun “homecoming” of sorts for me. We arrived in Denver Friday morning and spent the day in Boulder, where I hadContinue reading “Rocky Mountain High Colorado”

Enchanted By Ireland 5
On Day 6 in Ireland we ventured into County Kerry, heading toward the coastal village of Dingle. However, as with many things in life, the journey is just as important as the destination! We stopped for gas at a normal-seeming gas station, but it turned out to have an amazing bakery inside! So we continued our driveContinue reading “Enchanted By Ireland 5”
Enchanted by Ireland 4
After leaving The Burren, we spent the next day at Bunratty Castle. Now this place was very cool – not castle ruins, but a fully intact 15th century castle that was restored in the 1950s. After lunch at next door Durty Nelly (total tourist trap, but not bad), we walked around the castle grounds. ThereContinue reading “Enchanted by Ireland 4”
Enchanted by Ireland 3
After our amazing day at the Cliffs of Moher, we took the following day to visit a nearby island, Inis Oírr. In contrast to the previous day’s crisp, sunny weather, this day was cold, gray, and drizzly. Visiting a small island in such gray, drizzly weather reminded me of Cairnholm in Miss Peregrine’s Home for PeculiarContinue reading “Enchanted by Ireland 3”
Enchanted by Ireland 2
A year ago, Katie and I had a magical trip to Ireland. I began blogging about it, but never finished. At long last, here is more of the story! After leaving Galway, we based the next segment of our trip in County Clare, renting a little cottage in Fanore. The cottage was really charming (usingContinue reading “Enchanted by Ireland 2”
Eurotrip with the Bambino
Last week we returned from a week-long trip to Switzerland and Italy – with baby in tow – and it was quite an adventure! We began our trip with two days in Lausanne. My IMD MBA Class of 2008 was celebrating our 10-year reunion, which means I’ve now been blogging for more than 10 yearsContinue reading “Eurotrip with the Bambino”
Wedding in Vermont
This weekend I went to Vermont for a joyous reason: the wedding of a dear friend! It was my first trip to Vermont and it was a very quick turnaround, but I had a really good time. Friday I flew into Boston and picked up my rental car. Getting out of Boston was a traffic-riddenContinue reading “Wedding in Vermont”
Austin BBQ Tour
Katie had a conference in Austin and I had customers, vendors, and investors to visit there, so we coordinated our trip together. Of course I also took the opportunity to indulge in a little Texas BBQ while I was in town. North Carolina has excellent BBQ, but it is pretty limited to whole hog pulledContinue reading “Austin BBQ Tour”
Escape To Margaritaville
Exactly five lunar years after our last trip to New York City, Katie and I traveled to NYC last weekend and, while we were there, we saw Jimmy Buffett’s new Broadway musical, Escape To Margaritaville! Here is my spoiler-free review: The Good The Bad The Ugly Final Thoughts Buffett fans might be disappointed by someContinue reading “Escape To Margaritaville”
Enchanted by Ireland 1
Katie and I had a lovely trip to Ireland with her family! After a week and a half, we are positively enchanted by the Emerald Isle and will hope to return soon. Our trip actually began in Paris for the annual Jimmy Buffett concert. Because we would only be in Paris for 24 hours, weContinue reading “Enchanted by Ireland 1”
