The first blog is always the hardest. So much to say and post so lets start with a top ten.

Ten reasons to read this blog:

1. Food (of course). I love almost everything I have ever tried and I have tried everything I have seen. I will eat what ever is served wherever. AND, as a bonus I’ll take pictures and write it up on this site.
2. Promised to be a good blend of history, culture, and everything in between. Traveling is much more complex than sitting on a beach.
3. If there is a cheap trip that is worth mentioning I will.
4. Why restrict travel blogs to international trips? Even a walk down the street can be worth talking about.
5. The up and coming places you want to visit. I obsessively read travel magazines. Why sort through a pile of ads just to see whats hip to visit this year?
6. I’m one of the few guys to ask directions. Maybe not pertinent to this posting, but interesting none the less.
7. Because you want to. Seriously, you do.
8. Obsessive research. I can’t seem to go to lunch without reading everything published or posted on the restaurant, the cuisine, and the environment. But skill is found not in the compiling of data, but the sifting through.
9. Something new. Its here. Just wait.
10. Blogs are cool, man! Catch up.
