sipping on the crewlade Tag

Traipsing up to a check-in counter for a flight, especially an international one, always gives me anxiety. Did I overpack? Will my suitcase make weight? What can I take out if I'm over? I want to say that packing for London/Paris/Barcelona was such a relaxing experience...

There are few things I wish I had known before I touched down in London’s Heathrow Airport at 7:20am, now two Saturdays, ago. One, no one seems to know why London Bridge fell down. And if they do, this isn’t information that is freely given in...

At 11:45pm, I hopped out of a cab by the fountains in Tuileries Garden in Markus Lupus glitter booties, feathers and elbow length gloves and ran with a bottle of champagne toward the Eiffel Tower. When we finally reached the bridge where we would watch the 1,063...

In exactly nine days, I will board a plane to London. From there, I'll board the last train to Paris, hehe, and then round off this yolo'venture in Barcelona. Needless to be said, there are many decisions to be made about what to wear when. Factor...

"Thank you for calling the New York Times, please say the name of the person you are calling," a deep voice said on the other end of the phone. I said the name before realizing that I wasn't taking to a real person but a...

Y'all. This heat is no joke. It's bringing out the worst in people. But also the very best. And just when I fix my mouth to complain, God tells me several different times to shut the eff up. I had a pretty long day yesterday. Long...

I love New York and all it's randomness, especially on days like this. A little after 11:30 yesterday morning, my co-worker marches back to my desk and says she has an adventure to present to me. "'Kay, I'm listening," I tell her. She says that her line-sister sent...
