A Change of Luck
It's not quite every day I decide to take a detour from my daily routine and rarely am I ever this lucky to travel by plane. Popped on the bed and putting on my favorite chucks, there's a ray of sunshine streaming in through the blinds that makes today feel just a little bit luckier. Sweet smile-checked the mirror one last time to tuck in a curly blonde locket of hair, I feel like I'm already on my way to something different.

Freckles Abroad
Pubs are open! It's outdoor seating only for 6 or fewer for now, but it's a start! I finally got a chance to spend time with 5 other people from my writing course in person and eat and drink and chat together for several hours, all at the same time!

Travel Safety Tips from a Big Rig Trucker
I've been on the road for over a year now. There's not a day that I don't see yellow and white stripes shooting by at seventy miles-per-hour on old and new asphalt. Dirt roads, city streets, highways, and interstates, I've seen them all.

Head First Into Philippine Culture
In order to experience the true culture of another country, I believe it is important to go there yourself. Also it is equally important to go places outside the typical tourist spots. The reason for this is that no matter how hard a country tries to keep its cultural integrity intact, visitors from foreign lands bring much-needed money into the economy. This creates a trade-off as the areas tend to become homogeneous with the foreigners that visit there.

Just a typical day in the Philippines
My morning in LaCarlota City, Philippines started out like most, waking up with the sun already heating up the day. While the wife went outside to start whatever she could find for breakfast, I got up and made the bed for her. She is near her ninth month of pregnancy and getting across the bed to put the fitted sheets back onto the corners was harder for her than it was me, so I tried to make sure it was done before I left the room in the mornings. I went out back to find her at the small two burner gas stove making pancakes and hot dogs. A couple of eggs sat sunny side up waiting for the rest of the food to finish up, so we could sit together for breakfast as I had since my arrival over a week ago. Instant coffee in the pouch pre-mixed with cream and sugar was my drink of choice with breakfast here in the Philippines. Brewed coffee was not something most households in the Providences have.

Wishing
When the ocean called, she answered. She had been waiting for a sign although she didn’t know for what. A siren song and the kisses that briny fog mist gave her marble skin made her feel that if the Universe was going to give her a sign, this must be it. She was bad at listening so she strained her ears and grasped at possible messages like straws.

Observatory
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But I guarantee the screams are endless. She was always fond of the stars. I could tell by the way she would glance up at the night sky every time she would slip out of the car, or merely step out on the bar’s balcony for a cigarette. She’d stand there in silence, ignoring the chatter of the music, dark eyes gleaming with amusement; pondering the universe, the galaxies. Meandering in her own Lilliputian world of what ifs; and so, she would come back to reality with a visage of sadness, a diminutive frown of regret, as if she wished to be somewhere else, somewhere beyond the stars. She didn’t belong here.. and neither did I.

Hadrian's Wall, northern England
Hadrian’s Wall is a remarkable relic of the Roman Empire, having been in place for nearly 1900 years. The size of the wall, which stretches for 73 miles across northern England, is amazing in itself, as are the remains of various forts and other structures along its length.
