Learning curves…and Greenville,SC

Well, it’s about time to take another trip to interesting and vibrant Greenville, South Carolina. I fell in love with this city when I first visited it in the summer last year and stumbled upon the entry to Falls River Park.

Been sick forever

Feature: Lifestyle Gym

So, it’s official my health is getting worse. But hey, who wants to live forever? And no I do not have anything contagious, infectious, or catching… Today, I want to feature a place that has been helping me stay sane through these very difficult times. Oddly it’s a gym, and frankly I think more people [...]

Red Roof Inn – West Asheville – Thumbs Up

For the business traveler or the non-swimming tourist this hotel is more than satisfactory. I have a large, nicely proportioned ground floor, king sized room with free unlimited wifi, TV, an actual work desk (that does not take up too much of the room), fridge and microwave. My only complaint is that the room is [...]
