What better way to kick off the weekend than with a San Francisco sunset? Mr. J put his photography hobby on hold this past year and a half. He just doesn’t feel like he can dedicate the time to process the photos to meet his standards. But, I thought I would try to bring back […]

For nearly 40 years Arianespace has been involved in sending rockets into space. The company uses the European Space Agency launch facility in Kourou, French Guiana as a geographic advantage. Being closer to the equator means heavier payloads for the same fuel costs/weight. Exploring the Kourou facility shows off the history of both the ESA […]

This trip has morphed into an unenviable close. If I cannot take pictures onboard a flight, my review will be incomplete and much less worthy of your time. Thus, my very sustenance depends upon onboard photography. Sadly, I was warned by two flight crews in the last 48 hours to put my camera away. Instance #1 – Biman […]

When in doubt, go watch airplanes. Or, in my case, given a rare half day off after crossing the Atlantic, rest in my hotel room and watch the Heathrow departure pattern.

Looking for some of the best skyline and harbor views in Hamburg? Go no further than the observation deck at the Elbphilharmonie, the new concert hall that opened in January. Added bonus: It is incredibly cheap or free to get in!

Although my stay was brief, I enjoyed my time in Mykonos and Santorini more than I imagined. Both islands are beautiful and worth a return visit. I wrote about my hotel dilemma here and it turned out to be a non-issue. We stayed at a little inn for $40/night that was perfect…other than the loud couple. […]

On Iceland’s south coast, a couple hours from Reykjavik, sits a crashed US Navy DC-3 on Sólheimasandur’s black sand beach. It is an AvGeek mecca and a pretty strong tourist destination for most everyone else.

The Grand Canyon may be located in the middle of “fly over” country but if you only ever see it by flying over the top that’s a terrible mistake. Even a short day hiking part of Kaibab Trail from the South Rim was amazing.
