Rob and I are here in Las Vegas for a work conference–DevLearn–for just three days. We arrived very late last night, and were up at the crack of dawn for the opening keynote (Penn Jillette, awesome). While we need to attend sessions and vendor demos relevant to our respective jobs by day, we will also be trying to fit in as many delicious meals, along … Continue reading Las Vegas Sojourn
After the second full day at the conference, we were really desperate to get outside for a good long walk. Despite the fact that you end up walking a lot just being in the hotel (really…it was about a half mile from our room to the conference center), it doesn’t feel like exercise until you get outside. We got out later on this second day … Continue reading A walk, and tapas: day 2 in Las Vegas
It’s been almost two weeks since we returned from Thailand, and at least half that time was spent in a jet lag fog, and the rest getting back into the swing of work, laundry, and normal household routines. In our final pre-trip post, just before taking off from Boston, we talked about the resources we found most useful for planning the trip. But did our planning pay off? … Continue reading Thailand: 5 travel tips
Second day at the convention, second lunch. Michael Mina’s Pub 1842 was the choice of the day, because (a) it was conveniently located in the hotel, and (b) I had found an Eater article the day before listing it as having one of the “17 iconic burgers in Las Vegas”. To be honest, point (a) above was the driving factor for several of our choices … Continue reading Pub 1842
Since we’re not gamblers, and didn’t really have any time for significant sightseeing, when Rob and I learned we were coming to Las Vegas for three days we naturally started planning our culinary choices. The Vegas strip has no shortage of high-end meals, as well as a plethora of hotel buffets, and the usual fast-casual national chains. But we also knew there certainly must be … Continue reading Lotus of Siam
Just a few snaps from our walk after the conference ended yesterday. From leaving our hotel… …to rounding the corner onto Las Begas Boulevard heading north… …to one of our favorite places for a quiet glass of wine among the craziness of the strip, Mon Ami Gabi in the Paris casino. The view from our seats at the bar were not bad at all. We … Continue reading Views from the Strip
As I was waiting for my work shuttle this morning in Kendall Square, I noticed a family asking the driver of the “hop on/hop off” sightseeing trolley for advice on getting to Harvard Square. He pointed them to the subway station across the street, a sensible suggestion as Harvard is a short two-stop ride from Kendall. I watched the family follow his directions, cross the street and … Continue reading Getting there from here: public transport around the world
