Three Weeks in Paradise
Sometimes you just have to stick with what you know. Bailing on Berlin in favor of a sure thing was one of the best decisions we made on our entire trip. It was definitely dangerous going there with a one way ticket, if it weren't for the flights we had already booked, there's no doubt we would have stayed longer. The best part of going to Ibiza in September is the crowds thin out a little, the parties have hit their strides, and the hotel price drop dramatically. What we would normally spend in a week there stretched into three weeks. It helps when you reach the point when you spend more time ... >> Read more
The End is Nigh
After our glorious trip to the end of the earth (at least from our perspective), we returned to Santiago for the last days of our trip. We were fortunate enough to get a room in the same complex we were in before. The room was a little smaller, didn't have a place to sit and eat, but it was on the top floor.

My co worker and I must have stumbled upon it online, found a studio in our Williamsburg neighborhood, and headed off to class completely and blissfully unaware of what lay ahead.
If you also are unaware, Bikram Yoga is a series of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises practiced in 105 degrees fahrenheit and 40% humidity over the course of 90 minutes. Each posture is designed to build upon the last, reinvigorating and ... >> Read more
