In part, I’m writing this brief post because I’m looking for suggestions for a new offline Android maps app. You see, for years I was a loyal user of maps.me; simply search for the destination, then download a map of that region. That’s it. For whatever reason, in the middle of 2022, I noticed major, […]

Five Meals in Baku, Azerbaijan
In late 2016, I visited Baku, Azerbaijan (in Azeri, Bakı, Azərbaycan) after learning about the ease of getting a tourist visa if you were a passenger on Azerbaijan Airlines’ New York JFK-Baku GYD flight. With more time, I would have explored the vast biodiversity of the country; however, this short trip was focused on Baku, the […]
Throwback Thursday: Hamburg, February 2021
I have thousands of (digital) photos that collect virtual dust, until I get a feeling of nostalgia for certain trips. Embarrassingly — more so because I don’t even like the movie — watching Tomorrow Never Dies over the weekend made me think of my daylong stopover in Hamburg, Germany last February. Although I never had […]

Airline Meals, Part 2
In my first piece on airline meals, I explored a few in-flight examples that I tried between 2016 and 2019, just prior to the pandemic. As I mentioned in that post, even if the food doesn’t taste good, or if it’s not particularly healthy, be content that you’re traveling somewhere. Then again, it’s not that all […]
Airline Meals, Part 1
Looking through photos of the pre-pandemic travel days, I began to feel nostalgic for something unusual…or so I thought, until coming across news of Malaysians being able to order AirAsia meals at Kuala Lumpur malls. Then, in October 2020, I found out about Singapore Airlines catering economy and business class meals to private residences. Folks, […]

Photo of the Week: A Split Decision
Santa Barbara, California, the “American Riviera,” is nice little beach town a couple of hours northwest of Los Angeles. It is surrounded by some beautiful natural scenery, many homes and buildings were designed using the Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style, and there isn’t much light pollution (i.e. once it’s nighttime, don’t expect to be able to […]
