I’ve got a short layover from Salt Lake City before I head out to New York City. Denver Int’l is nice but like most airports, everything is way overpriced.
It’s nice to see some genetic diversity again. The past couple of days were good ‘man time’ American style. Staying with Cam, Josh, and Tony was the first time in years that I’ve actively engaged in typical American male behavior. I drank beer and ate pizza while watching Monday Night Football, played horseshoes, admired guns, went out to a couple of bars and played pool, and girl watched with my buddies. Good times were had by all. If it hadn’t of been raining, we probably would have gone out shooting those guns, as it was, we just passed them around checking out the action, clips, and weight. Fun stuff.
This morning, Tony dropped me off downtown and I met up with one of my old buddies from the dotcom era, Alain, who is developing i-phone aps now. We had breakfast and then he dropped me at the airport. The rest was uneventful, but here I am at DIA where the free wifi would be great if not for the annoying ads it lays on my tiny little screen.
Oh well…glad to be adventuring again…

He bought a VW bus for $100, moved into it and set out on a journey to show the world that it was possible to live life on your own terms. That journey took him from waking up under icy blankets in the Pacific Northwest to waking up under palm tress in Southeast Asia. Three years later, his first book, Rough Living: Tips and Tales of a Vagabond was published. After diving into the Anthropology of Tourism and Electronic Anthropology at the University of Hawaii (with undeclared minors in film and surf) he hit the road again in 2008. Since that time,he's lived primarily in Morocco and Turkey, married a Moroccan girl he couchsurfed with, and become a proud father. He's been to more than 40 countries, founded a successful online travel magazine (this one!), and still doesn't have a boss. Life is good. You can also find him on Google+ and at Facebook
