When we checked our baggage into the rooms, it wasn’t like normal. The normal way we did things was to meet in the lobby at a certain time. But, no one was interested in that this day.
It was Blue Waters in St. Antigua and the pool was calling everyone’s name. No one was waiting around […]

The next time I flew into Luquillo, Puerto Rico, we stayed at the Luquillo Sunrise Beach Inn. It was a few years after Hurricane Hugo and the place had been fixed up quite nicely. We took a limo from the San Juan Airport straight to the hotel.

It was the first thing I saw when I got to the hotel other than the lobby and the quick check-in that took place there. We had actually called ahead so they were expecting us, seven Marines on an incredible tour around the world. And getting paid to do it. You couldn’t […]

I’ve often discussed my experience with San Diego. My first visit there and how surreal each sequential visit has been, I’ve had a history with San Diego even though my home is near Washington, D.C.
