Viking Japan Cruise
All, Just headed out for a 2-week Viking cruise from Hong Kong to Tokyo. As those who have followed Berlin's Wall for a while, you might remember some of my earlier cruise adventures--snakes, spiders, Pyramids, castles, forts, and, oh yeah, getting swept overboard...
New Buffalo Bills/LP Adventure
All, Yesterday, I had the chance to visit the LP suite at the new Highmark Stadium, the future home of the Buffalo Bills. (Thanks to our good friend, Melissa Palgutt of the Bills, for arranging 😊). Needless to say, the place will be beautiful — state-of-the-art —and...
Light in the Dark
All, As you know, I usually try to keep Berlin’s Wall light. And in a way, this one is still about light — light amid darkness. Most of you have likely read about the horrific shooting at Bondi Beach, Australia, which took place on the first night of Hanukkah — the...

Jordan – Dead Sea & Mt. Nebo
All, Arrived in Jordan yesterday. Though it’s not far from Cairo, it feels like a completely different world — a different vibe altogether. Less crowded (120 million vs. 12 million people) and slower paced — in a good way 😊. This is my fourth time here, and it remains...
Cruising the Nile & More Temples
All, From Luxor, we flew to Aswan, where the famous dam is. This was built in the 60's to control the annual flooding, which used to wreak havoc with its unpredictability. Now its flow is controlled, so life along the river is less dangerous. So much so that although...
