I shot 4 video clips at one hour intervals. I sped them up to 34,000 times normal speed to around 10 seconds each. First is a sunrise on Clearwater, second is the fog rolling over Sand Key beach at the Sheraton, third is the fog rolling over Clearwater Beach, and forth is the sunset view from the Hyatt beside Tampa Intl airport. http://www.vimeo.com/34655061

A recent trip to Dubai took us all over the place. Places visited were the Burj Khalifa, Ski Dubai, Dubai Fountains light show, Dubai Aquarium and the Palm Jumeirah.

Wow! Dubai has changed so much since I first went over in 2005. I took a week trip there recently and it was soooo nice. From Skiing, hanging out at Burj Khalifa, Dubai aquarium & underwater zoo, and hanging out at the palm island for a couple days to visit friends – a perfect week get-a-way.

Golden Rules of Travel

Time It Right 1. Fly on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Saturday. Traveling on off-peak days—and at off-peak times—means lower fares, a less crowded cabin, and a greater chance of snagging those elusive mileage-award seats. Taking two days off for a long weekend?

July update

Not much going on lately. I’m sitting outside Baltimore Maryland, of all places, doing some training with a new company to head back over to Afghanistan for another tour. I’m really getting burned out being over there, but it’s easy money and it’s all I’ve been doing since leaving the military a while back. No more LOGCAP (you contractors know what Im talking about) bullshit and babysitting with my previous companies I’ve been with. I really got in with a solid company that has no company footprint outside...
