The two countries have remained in a standoff since the end of the Korean War in 1953. No treaty was ever […]
Last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live had some great sketches (including the fantastic Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer), but one of the best was their new “Welcome to the USA” video for Customs & Border Patrol.

Huffington Post & Gawker report that Christie had a bad day while traveling on an Amtrak train from Washington, DC to New York. First, Christie was nearly late […]
My itinerary from London to Palma de Mallorca, Spain had an intentional bonus: A layover of around 12 hours in Madrid. I landed at Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD) around 9am, which gave me an entire day to explore. I quickly went through EU passport control and hopped on a Metro train toward Nuevos Ministerios.
