The calm tarmac belies the transit horror that is LHR

In Transit

September 25, 2015

[...] I stood in line for the shuttle hoppa, for bus H54, that would take me to Renaissance Heathrow Hotel. I’m stranded here for the night because my incoming flight to London Heathrow was delayed, making me (and several other people) miss my onward connection...

Streets of Bogotá, La Candelaria neighborhood

Bogotá Highlights

August 21, 2015

Colombia - the land of corn, coffee, fruit, fútbol and friendly people. We were fortunate enough to experience a little bit of it all even while spending most of our time in one city: Bogotá. A few days of cold rain at the start of our trip meant taking Ubers everywhere, but the sun and warmth on our last few days meant spontaneous stops for buttery arepas from street vendors or tasty coffee at outdoor coffee shops.

The streets of DC, U St. neighborhood

Washington, DC Highlights

July 7, 2015

Early Saturday morning of Memorial Day Weekend we boarded Mega Bus en route to Washington, DC. With Prem's parents in tow, who had never been to the capital, our goal was to make sure they experienced the monuments and history but also the food and culture. These are two important sides of life in DC but couldn't be more different; the area around the monuments and White House is very quiet and pristine, while there's more hustle and bustle and "city life" around U Street, 14th Street, and Dupont Circle. Here are some food and drink highlights from our short weekend.
