What a whirlwind adventure. I haven’t figured out where I’m getting the energy since I haven’t had more than five hours of sleep a night since leaving The Boat on the September 19. Mayhaps it’s from the cities themselves… Amsterdam was … Continue reading →

If I had had the time to plan this Impromptu European Holiday, I think I would’ve gotten more out of Milano. I’m not saying I didn’t enjoy it immensely but if I knew what I needed to do before I … Continue reading →

Warning: Mother, if you’re reading this post, stop now! None of following was actually said… “Sweet titty-fucking Christ…that priest is freaking hot. Hi Daddy!” “Mary Magdalene was a whore, of course she fucked Jesus.” “Jesus fucked her in the ass, … Continue reading →

As I write this, I’m eating at a restaurant near Central Station, it’s filled with locals and railroad employees. Its loud and bustling and amazing. The people are real, stocky, salt of the earth kind of people, I fit right … Continue reading →

The Eurolines bus ride from Paris to Milan, was nothing like Amsterdam to Paris. This time, the bus was packed. There’s be no laying about on this trip…well, at least not for me. When I boarded at 10:45pm, I headed … Continue reading →

I’ve never been to Paris, in fact, I’ve only been to France once on my Grande Voyage, so when I got the chance to go during my Impromptu European Holiday, I jumped at it. I visited all the important sights: the Eiffel Tower was … Continue reading →

I walk a lot in NYC. It’s what you do. The past year there’ve been maybe two or three times (London, Dublin) that I’ve had to put on my city-walk but aside from that I’ve been meandering through my travels. … Continue reading →

I have a feeling, the bus to Milan isn’t going to be as hunky-dory as the bus ride to Paris. Amsterdam to Paris was only about eight hours and I slept most of the way. The ride from Paris to … Continue reading →

When I embarked on my Impromptu European Holiday, I did so carrying a zero balance on my credit cards, but I digress… It’s difficult to keep all my iProducts charged up while on the road, I have my chargers and … Continue reading →

A completely uneventful transit from Amsterdam to Paris. That’s a good thing. The coach was clean, comfortable and not crowded. I got to stretch out in the back row, where I like to sit, ’cause I’m a trouble maker… I would surely recommend Eurolines, … Continue reading →

I love Amsterdam. But, I have to say, she’s let itself go a little since last time I stayed here. She’s a little dirtier, a little grittier. I’m not saying I don’t like it, I’m just sayin’. At the Golden Bear, … Continue reading →

With only a taste of life off The Boat, I feel lighter. It’s not as if I have any huge, life affecting duties onboard, I sing and tell badly written jokes, but after doing it for such a long time … Continue reading →

“I’m taking the bus to Paris.” Say that out-loud. Doesn’t that sound…weird? But the ticket’s booked; I’m on the overnight, eight-hour, Amsterdam to Paris Eurolines bus, tonight at 10:00 PM. I’m sure it’s going to be an adventure, at only $63.00, … Continue reading →

In an unprecedented move by the powers that be, after thirteen months on The Boat, I was granted extended shore leave. For twelve uninterrupted days I’m set loose on the European continent with no curfews or all-aboard times. I’m free to explore what I want, … Continue reading →
