Do you ever wonder what it is like to be a sales engineer? This 7 minute clip sums up my life, except it skips the whole flying across the country part. A sales engineer position is great if you have great technical knowledge about a product and can think outside the box to meet prospect’s…

It’s that time of the year again…cold and flu season
This year’s cold and flu season starts with some great news (sarcasm) that the ingredient in alcohol-free hand sanitizer is ineffective and potentially toxic. Great! I know many travelers tote the tiny bottles from their suitcase and rub it on liberally. If that doesn’t work then what is a traveler to do? We are constantly…
Day 5: Enjoying the view
I came to Seychelles to do nothing and I am still succeeding at that. I did finally snorkel. It’s weird when you have a situation so moving it almost brings you to tears. I know it may sound cheese, but snorkeling at the Hilton was one of those moments. The water was just so clear…
ET 501: not too bad
I flew on Ethiopian Air flight 501 nonstop Washington-Dulles to Addis Ababa. Since my flights had been changed since ticketing I had a fun “flight coupon required” on my Ethiopian segment so I went to the gate agent to sort it out. He punched a few keys and got the eticket sorted properly and handed…
Thank goodness I live near the airport and have precheck
I always debate between staying up and sleeping before an early departure. I figured with a 14 hour flight ahead of me staying up made more sense. That worked until about 2:30 am when my body got the best of me. I set my alarm for 6:00 am and closed my eyes. I woke up…
Panama Canal: a tale of two museums
Monday I went to the Miraflores locks on a Complete ticket ($8) which entitled me to watch the locks, go through the museum, and watch a video. The museum, at least as far as I noticed, is completely bilingual Spanish and English. All placards are bilingual and the 3D movie has Spanish showing and English…
Panama…My main takeaway
I went into the trip not really wanting to visit the Canal. It just seemed to cliche and too many people only think of the canal when they think of tourism in Panama. I wanted to help show a different side of the city and country to let people know there is more to do…
Panama, here I come!
And I’m off! I’m heading down to Panama for the InterAmericas Hash. This means I’ll be at an all-inclusive resort for a long weekend plus shoulder days in Panama City. My packing list for 6 days in Panama: 8 changes of underwear 3 pairs of socks (mostly wearing Vibrams or sandals 2 pairs of workout…

I hate planning trips!
I’m so used to boring business travel (business travel isn’t inherently boring, but after 7 years I just don’t really care anymore) that when I’m actually going on vacation I hate looking up stuff. I used to always drag someone along under the guise of a free trip as long as they did the activity…
