Doing Nothing in Dubrovnik

Ah. Sleep. I’ve been traveling for what... a DAY and already I’m tired and in need of a sleep in? So far, I’m just giving myself more and more evidence to my position among the elderly. Anyway, I slept in late in my amazing king sized bed. I took a long shower and went down to the market to get some stuff for lunch. First thing I notice about Croatians is cream cheese.

This is a re-post of a guest post I wrote for GotSaga.com in January. Check out the original article here. San Ambrosio. My home. What, you've never heard of it? C'mon! At a whopping 400 citizens in a country most people have on their bucket lists but not in their backyard, I guess I understand. San Ambrosio, Andalucia, Spain.

Longest Round Trip Segment Ever–I’m back in Spain!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen. That is correct. As of Sunday 3:05 PM GMT I am back in Spain! In an attempt to confuse everyone, when I left the country in October, I left on a round-trip ticket carting me from Malaga, up to London and back to New York. 6 Months later, I’m finally on my return ticket. I’m not going to lie and tell you that I wasn’t a bit nervous as I packed my giant suitcase up in Tulsa with all my crap in tow and started the haul back here, but I definitely didn’t imagine it would have this many pitfalls.

6 Places I'd Take You If You Would Just Visit Me In Tulsa, Oklahoma

I was awoken yesterday morning (ok, afternoon) by my friend Savannah who said that her and Jennifer are going to come visit me this weekend to help celebrate my last weekend in the South. In between shrieking with joy and jumping out of my bed, I had a thought. Where am I going to take them first? Tulsa has been my home for most of my life. It's one of those cities where people don't think to visit. "Oh that's where Chandler...

But it makes for interesting reading, right?

Why Being Bribed Doesn't Suck

When I returned back to Tulsa from Fredericksburg Monday late afternoon, I pulled into a snow covered driveway only to get a gigantic blast from my past. For sitting in the garage inside my parent's house was a damn near exact replica of the car I had driven from the day I turned 16 up until my early 20's.
