Playing the Points Game: A Beginner’s Thoughts

June 1, 2019 by Kevin NelsonLeave a Comment

My youngest son is about to fly the coop and start college, joining his older brother in the fall at San Diego State. This means that my wife and I are about to become empty nesters, giving us the chance to fly the coop ourselves and travel more. With this looming rebirth of freedom, I am beginning to look into the wonderful (and complicated!) game of acquiring points as a means of knocking down the costs of airfare, lodging, restaurants, and … [Read more...]

Crazy About Cats at the San Diego Zoo

May 25, 2019 by Abdul RastagarLeave a Comment

The black jaguar strides agitatedly back and forth in a small corner of her otherwise large enclosure, occasionally stopping to sniff the air, then quickly resuming her search.

How to Get Licked by a Giraffe

May 20, 2019 by Abdul RastagarLeave a Comment

I'm about to be licked by a giraffe. It sounds silly but it's happening. She leans forward to get closer to me, her massive head moving to within a few centimeters of my face. I can feel her heavy breath on my cheek as she extends her enormous 45-cm (18 in) long tongue straight at me. I cringe and smile in delight at the same time. The anticipation is too much and, against every impulse, I shut my eyes. Wow, is this really happening?! Where am … [Read more...]

Road Trip Part 3: San Diego and Encinitas

October 26, 2018 by Steve Taylor3 Comments

International travelers are more than happy to tell you all about the people, places, and cultures of the world. There is nothing that can compare to the experience of exploring ancient cities in far away countries. To be emersed in the customs of a foreign land is an escape from one's self and education in life. In the U.S. we are so fascinated by the cultures of other countries that we often take for granted the diversity within our borders. … [Read more...]
