Last month I wrote that there might be MLB Spring Training games in Cuba next season.
The last time MLB was on the island was back in 1991 when the Baltimore Orioles played an exhibition game there.
While I haven’t come across much more info about potential games in Cuba for next season, MLB will be visiting sooner than expected. Continue reading MLB Going On Goodwill Tour of Cuba
While I’ve really been slacking off with running this past year, registration recently opened for one of my favorite 5Ks.
Registration is now open for the JFK Runway Run which takes place on the runway of a major airport in New York City! If you’re into plane-spotting, then this could be a fun race to enter, even if you walk the entire 5k!
After running the JFK Runway Run 5k three years in a row, I missed it last year since the timing wasn’t right. However, this year I’m definitely planning to enter again! Continue reading Registration Open for JFK Runway Run 5K!

I’ve enjoyed watching the season and it definitely looks like the front-runners to win are the engaged (and very cocky) couple Justin & Diana.
Even though the season isn’t over yet, the cast for Season 28 has been announced and it’s full of social media stars from sites like Instagram, Vine and Youtube. Continue reading The Amazing Race Season 28 Cast Announced, Full of Social Media Stars

I can’t say that Kim and I are in the market to rent an apartment but this real estate-related quiz caught my attention.
Real estate as well as rents have skyrocketed in New York City, especially Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn.
While out and about, Kim likes to open up the Zillow app on her phone to get an idea of real estate prices wherever we might be. When we see a for sale sign, we’ll even take guesses at the prices before trying to locate the listing through the app. Continue reading Buzzfeed Quiz: Guess the Rents On Apartments
Zombies seem to be quite popular these days thanks in part to one of my all-time favorite shows, The Walking Dead. The show is back this Sunday, October 11 for season 6.
Due to the show’s popularity, a companion series and something of a prequel debuted this summer called Fear the Walking Dead. It’s short first season just ended and I’d say that it was very good but not quite the level of the original.
You might be wondering, what do zombies and Walking Dead have to do with travel? Not a whole lot, however… Continue reading Zombies On A Plane! Fear the Walking Dead Flight 462
