As my regular readers know, I don’t usually post photos of myself on Travelogged. But I couldn’t resist this one of me lounging at the brand-new Eloise Suite at The Plaza. No, I didn’t spend the night there — ha, don’t I wish! Yesterday, I went to a press preview of the pinkest room in [...]
There’s a new viral video on YouTube that gives you a very quick tour of the U.S. This guy walks across America (NYC to San Francisco) in under two minutes, rarely pausing except to admire the Lincoln Monument and Mt.

Victoria Chao (whom you may remember from her guest post about attempting to swim in Taiwan’s Sun Moon Lake) contacted me to tell me that she wanted to share a positive experience with United Airlines customer service. (Someone wanting to praise an airline is rare indeed!) In mid-June, she had to book a flight at [...]
Vancouver has the third largest Chinatown in North America, next to NYC and San Francisco. I was only in Vancouver for two days following my Alaskan cruise, and it was on my agenda. Being that my time overall was limited, I didn’t have too much time to spend in Chinatown (and we didn’t have the [...]
No matter where you’re traveling, it’s so easy to become jaded. Often you’re surrounded by a certain kind of beauty, and you can find yourself saturated and uninterested in taking more in.
