Mobile Passport App: A way to skip the lines at US Customs
No one enjoys standing in long lines to get through customs when you arrive back in the USA from a trip abroad. As a result, many frequent fliers have signed up for Global Entry. I don’t travel enough to make it worth the 3-hour drive…
Phewa Lake at Pokhara, Nepal
No, I haven’t been to Nepal recently. In fact, this photo dates back to 2012. Pretty crazy how time flies. What has happened is that I have decided to go back and “rework” some of my old images using the experience I have gained over…
