Well, welcome back travelers. After several long years of being unable to update for various personal reasons including family illness, a job as a paid travel writer and a return to academic pursuits, I'm resurrecting the blog. Coming up: A guide to hosteling, random sites within LA, Minneapolis, day trips outside LA, France, Prague, interviews with other musicians, writers and such as to their own travel tips...and more. Since today is the first day back in the states after a trip to the Rhone-Alps region of France and Oslo, Norway, I'll be back with you shortly!
