A Backpacking Philosophy
August 4, 2009 on 4:45 am | By admin | In TravelWhy do you go backpacking? To see nature? You can do that from a car or on a day hike. To challenge yourself or get a good workout? You can accomplish those goals at the gym. What other reasons are there? Consider the following backpacking philosophy .
Backpacking is about stripping away the unnecessary and living simply and adventurously for a while. This is why I like to keep it light. A light pack means you can run up a mountain to see what’s on top, or hike a few extra miles to reach a hidden waterfall. To keep it simple and leave open the possibility of adventure, go light, and plan enough time for exploring.

Philadelphia
July 24, 2009 on 6:59 am | By admin | In TravelThis past weekend I attended my best friend’s bachelor party down in historic Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. While it was a bachelor party, it turned out to be relatively tame. Perhaps it’s our age or just the nature of our group, but we spent much more time getting information about historical sites such as the Liberty Bell or Independence Hall than we did going to house of ill repute or chasing after any of the other vices bachelors are so notorious for pursuing. That’s not to say we didn’t have a good time engaging in the kind of tom foolery that only a group of guys can. On day two we hit up the historical sites along with a baseball game between our beloved Boston Red Sox and the hometown Phillies. All in all, it was a great trip: who would have thought Philadelphia could work as a bachelor party destination?
Having to Leave Lanai
July 23, 2009 on 7:33 pm | By admin | In TravelOne thing for sure is that they certainly made me feel like we were family. In fact, the entire staff at this great lanai hotel is fantastic. The guest service agents conduct interesting, free interactive Hawaiian activities that give you a flavor of the island’s unique pineapple plantation history. The welcome get-together as well as the farewell send-off almost brought tears to my eyes. I didn’t want to leave as I never wat to leave we we have to go home from Hawaii. It was like I was leaving my friends behind. I can at least console myself that we will be coming back to Lanai soon.
What Does Your Passport Do?
July 21, 2009 on 7:32 pm | By admin | In TravelYour passport serves two major purposes. One, is to identify you as a person who is a citizen of that country that issued the passport and two, is to allow you travel from one country to another. You may think that there may not be a reason for you to have your passport issued, but the thing is, it’s one of the major identifications that is accepted all over the world. It’s a government passport, unlike your school or company ID. Due to its significance, a Stolen Passport is also an important matter. You will need to report the theft to the local police and the nearest Canadian Government office or Passport Canada so that you will be issued a new replacement passport.
