    Climbing the Stairway to Heaven

    The Haiku Stairs, a.k.a. the Stairway to Heaven, is a semi-secret forbidden hike on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. After hearing about the stairs, I knew it was something I just had to do–after all, I live for this kind of stuff….

    So Long, Transbay Terminal

    Being a fan of 1930s Modernism and Art Deco, I always thought the terminal was a pretty cool building. Just before the closing, I poked around every little nook and cranny of the structure, taking hundreds of photos of every detail of the complex just days before the demolition crew will begin dismantling the building. The time has come for...

    San Francisco In Miniature

    Aboard the Zeppelin: the World’s Largest Airship

    At 246 feet, it’s a tad longer than the new Airbus A380 and dwarfs the Goodyear Blimp. There are four modern Zeppelin NTs in the world, one retired, one in Japan, one in Germany, and one in San Francisco. The “NT” stands for “New Technology” and is the first modern fleet of zeppelins to carry passengers since the blazing crash...

    Egypt: Journey Through the Land of the Pharaohs

    For two and a half weeks, we would set off on the adventure of a lifetime through the land of the Pharaohs, traveling by minivan, riverboat, felucca, horse carriage, hot air balloon, water taxi, airplane, and foot to reach all the remote sites of Egypt. Two Egyptologists would help us make some sense out of all the chaos and immense...

    Not So Perfect Day to Climb Mount Sinai

    My alarm sounds at 1:00 AM sharp for the previously planned climb up Mt. Sinai. At dinner last night, a freakishly rare downpour had turned the dining hall next to our mountainside cabins into indoor showers due to a roof not designed for any type of precipitation at all. We would surely cancel the hike, but our Egyptian guide Omar...
