50 to Zero in 3 Seconds!

Day: 466 My day started off pretty normal for a day on the road.  Wake up early, ride my Powerpuff Girl scooter 30 kilometers to the Sememggoh Wildlife Center to check out the semi-wild Orang Utans (it’s more like a natural refuge for confiscated pets and abandoned Orang Utans), then head off on a uber-sweaty [...]

Moped-ing the Jungle

Day 465: Last night, after my noodles and beer, I met Dan from Connecticut who told me of his plan to rent a moped the next day and ride all over the region – and seeing how he had already figured out all the details about where, when, how much and I had no plans, [...]

Into Borneo

Day 464: Getting around Southeast Asia using Singapore as a home base is awesomely quick.  With just a $80 flight and a hour or so in the air, I can land in dozens of spectacular destinations around the region.  Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia and Malaysia are all in this quick radius of Singapore. So when I [...]

Traveling Light and Alone

April 20, 2011: It’s been a long time since I have done a solo trip, even one as short as the next week will be.   Felicia will be heading off for the next 6 days on a mother/daughter getaway to northern Malaysia, so I decided to head to the world’s oldest rainforest and third [...]

Eating Our Way Through Singapore

April 18th 2011: When tourists come to Singapore, one of the main draws is the food.  When you are married to a local who has been pining for local dishes and exclaiming of all the things she will eat when she visits the next time – food is THE main draw.  Especially when catching up [...]

Carrie + Robert | Hollywood Hometown Reception

April 15, 2011: One Saturday, Felicia and I dressed up and headed out to the penthouse level of a club in the heart of Hollywood. It was the VIP level, an exclusive private event, and we were invited! Woooo hoooo! Wait. Did we turn cool overnight? Not really. We’re still a couple of camera-toting nerds [...]

24hr Travel

April 14th, 2011: From the time we left our house in Burbank until we walked in the door of Felicia’s mothers house in Singapore it was slightly more than 24 hours.  We spent 19 hours in the air and 5 hours sitting around airports trying to maintain a sense of dignity while exhaustion and travel [...]

Clark in the Park

April 11th 2011 (Imaginary commentary by Felicia) Hello there! I am Clark Otis, the charming little man who sent Felicia’s ovaries into ‘OMG Babies-are-so-awesome’ mode as she looked through the pictures from my photoshoot. That Rob guy, always trying to look macho and all, tried in vain to ignore her squeals about my cuteness, but [...]

Michelle + Endy | Out in the Desert: Part II

April 8th, 2011: After that night out on The Strip in Vegas – where for the first time in my life in Vegas, I was so busy working that I did not have a single drink nor play a single game of Craps. Crap. – we woke up bright & early (waaaaay too early for [...]

Whale-less Watching

April 6th, 2011: I had envisioned this blog post to be full of images of whales breaching, crashing down in the water and their tails majestically framed against the blue of the Pacific.  Unfortunately when we took Madalyn out on the ocean in Dana Point to watch for whales on this windy, choppy day for [...]
