CHOPPING MY STOMACH WITH GOLIGHT BARIATRICS
This is a travel blog and as such, I never planned on blogging about my experience getting a gastric sleeve in Mexico. However, there has been so much interest and so many questions that I thought this post might be helpful. FULL DISCLOSURE: I am a 38-year-old dude with a lower BMI than usual for
Mexico
CANCUN: THE LAZY MAN’S DREAM VACATION As I’m sure all my loyal and beautiful readers (hi, mom) already know, COVID, in 2020 alone, caused us to have to cancel England, Wales, Belgium, Miami, Kauai….and probably more, since at that point, we just gave up trying to travel or looking for flights. We didn’t leave the
Portland
PORTLAND: AMERICA’S GHOST TOWN (DURING COVID) DAY 1 : WAIT…DAD TRAVELS?! When I received a phone call from dear old pops asking if I wanted to go to Portland, I was certain it was a prank. After all, since I’ve been married (almost a decade, which is nuts), my wife has NEVER seen him take a

Norway
NORWAY: VIKINGS AND DARKNESS AT NOON Since you asked, I WILL tell you about my childhood, thanks! My pops spent 2 years preaching the good word in Norway in the 1970’s. So growing up, we heard lots and lots of Norway stories. We saw lots of Norway photos. We heard Norwegian and (even still, at
