Where Was I? I’d just landed at the Los Cabos Int’l Airport in Baja California, Mexico, and was inquiring about cheap transportation to La Paz, my destination. I met a kinda loco timeshare salesman who convinced me to take a seemingly pricey shuttle (EcoBajaTours) with AC and wifi. I went for it and was soon…
Just took this photo of a cute little Chihuahua a couple of hours ago here in Todo Santos in Baja California, Mexico. I just had to stop and say hello–that’s how cute he/she was! Deer or Apple Head? Chihuahuas have one of two types of heads. This one has a ‘deer head’ (not an apple…
Is Toronto haunted? Are ghosts lurking in certain areas—in the Distillery District, for example? Maybe yes. Maybe no. Did I go on a ‘haunted tour’ to see for myself? Not exactly. Mine was free and impromptu and a bit ChickyBus-esque since it was so random. How It Began… I spotted a man resting on a…
When I spotted this mannequin ‘couple’ in Kensington Market, Toronto, I just had to take their photo. First of all, I’m a tiny bit obsessed with mannequins. Second, these looked a little bit like aliens. Third, I just loved the color contrast. The photo was already composed and ready to be taken. Mostly, though, it…
I honestly dreaded having to take the overnight double-decker MegaBus ride from Toronto to NYC two nights ago (after being at the TBEX Conference for a few days). Although I’m a veteran bus rider, I just didn’t look forward to an 11-hour ride (midnight to 11 am the next day). But I had no choice….
This photo–of the sun rising over Niagara Falls–is one of which I’m proud. Sure, it’s pretty, but the fact that I woke up early enough to catch it (before 6 a.m.) is a big deal. Seriously? The falls themselves are pretty darn impressive… I was just lucky enough to wake up in time to enjoy…
I’ve had the pleasure of cyber-knowing Tom Waegook, a fellow travel blogger, for a while–thanks to Twitter and Facebook. And I was lucky enough to meet him and his partner, Namgi, in person last week in New York City. Although we only spent several hours together, we had a wonderful time! When we were making…
Times Square, a major tourist attraction and one of the most colorful sights in New York City, is a great photo opp whether you have a serious camera or an iPhone (or another smartphone). For this particular photo, shot just as I was walking away away from the famous landmark, I used the phone and…
In this round of Trippy Travel Photo, the image was identified as a rainbow in Oregon somewhere in the Cascade Mountain Range. More specifically, it’s a photo of the McKenzie River, near the Cougar (Terwilliger) Hot Springs–a lovely spot not far from Eugene. To arrive at this answer, the contestants followed these steps: 1. Look…
