Jennifer and John spent a lot of time trying to build the small town where they lived in Nebraska. While traveling to England, they decided to track down Peter Fox, inventor of the Speedy Store to learn more about grocery store vending machines. The goal was to make their small town (situated in the middle of the American Food Desert) a healthier place to live by providing better access to food. ...
It’s hard to say how far away Central Station actually was from the terminals at Heathrow airport, but I would guess that it was half a mile or more.

We were grouchy and jetlagged and hadn’t really been properly nourished for at least 48 hours. ...
It would be hard to get excited about the pile of rocks near Salisbury, UK if I hadn’t encountered so much hype about them ahead of time. Not to say that I regret going to Stonehenge. That’s not it. But rather just that it surprises me that people take the rock circle as seriously as they do when it’s a proven fact that no one really knows why they’re there. The vote is still out on the real reason why the ...
Almost everyone has been to London, it seems. Or rather, if a person has traveled outside of North America, chances are they went to London. That’s cool. I don’t have a problem with that. But I struggled with the idea of staying in London for a whole week while we were in the UK because it just seemed like a trip that everyone’s done before.
I’m also not a big fan of ...
