They look great! Thanks to Trish for photographing, editing and producing these.

Traveling with kids? Seek drama and keep moving

October28

Some of the joys of travel are subtle.  I spent a fair amount of time in Siberia, and despite the romantic image it produces in our minds, it was hardly exhilarating in reality.  The enjoyment was distributed evenly across the experience and noticable only when I would look across the flat landscape to the horizon thinking, “Shit, this tundra goes on forever.”

It takes this many tickets to get from Casablanca to D.C.

A week ago, on the way in to Marrakesh, we were bussed from Casablanca to Morocco. It caused hours of delay and great headache. If that happens today, we will miss our New York flight and spend another day in Morocco. We are a little anxious.
