Travel – Adventure – Arizona

I’m looking for a new travel destination, and I need your help.
Now, in a perfect word, I’d board my own Austin Powers-esque 747 and tell the captain to take me someplace where:
there’s enough people to be convenient and friendly, but not enough to be crowded
I can see all sorts of awesome creatures (and [...]
Dive into the Zorb … the sphere of all that is awesome!

I’ve never looked like such a complete doofus before. I’m wearing bright-white rubber boots, a pair
of curry-brown pants, a wetsuit and a bulbous helmet with a light on top. My hair is flapping out the sides of the helmet to perfect rodeo clown-effect.
Not only that, but my nads are fighting a two-front war [...]
I’m more about doing and less about watching, but the launch of the blandly named Women’s Professional Soccer league this year makes me feel like it’s okay to plop down in the bleachers. Why a WPS match instead of Major League Soccer or one of the European sides on their summer tours of the [...]
Right about now, Qantas should really be thinking about what it can do better.
The launch of V Australia should really change the game for getting to Australasia from the United States. Before now, if you wanted to go to Australia or New Zealand from North America, you were flying either Qantas or Air New [...]
Alright, readers! The construction is moving along. As usual, there are problems. I’m hoping one of you might have the knowledge I seek.
I want to migrate all my old posts from this blog to Wanderingjustin.com so it won’t look so barren. I followed the steps about exporting, saving to the desktop and uploading to the [...]
I’ve never rented a Wicked Camper. I’ve never even been inside one. Still, I absolutely love them for their skating-the-edge-of-good-taste humor.
And now Wicked is coming to America, bringing its crude and irreverently painted rental vans and distinct Aussie sense of humor starting in April 2009. They’ll open in Los Angeles and San Francisco to [...]
The crater of Mount Ngauruhoe
Since I’ve been to both Australia and New Zealand, I’ve had a lot of people asking me which one I like better. You can read my answer at the end, but now it’s time to figure out which one you should visit first. Here’s my take on some head-to-head comparisons:
Food – [...]
Scottsdale, Arizona … it’s kind of a misunderstood place. It gets a bad rap as a refuge for generic malls, Botox and silicon-enhanced residents, golf courses, $30,000-a-year faux-millionaires and rampant snobbery.
But there is coolness in its borders, especially toward the southern edge of this long, skinny city. If you wind up near McDowell Road, [...]
Hello, readers. I just wanted to give you all a warning … it’s going to be construction time here at No Crocs Allowed. I’ve heard advice from many smart people advising me that self-hosting is the way to go. I’ve armed myself with good tips, and I’ll start the process this week.
That will likely mean [...]
