The Radisson Hotel Cheyenne: Cancels Reservations Because they can.
Normally I would not choose to visit the US during August, but this year, I am. Like thousands of others, I want to see the eclipse on Monday, August 21st.
But a wrench was thrown into my plans by the Radisson Hotel Cheyenne after they […]
These two pictures should give away where I am in all of… oh… a minute.
Done guessing? I’m in Hong Kong.
This is the start of my Asian Adventure – it’s a mild, easy, start: I took the long way here, flying via Tokyo on ANA. I had no […]
This helps you find your hotel.
Ooops, I did it again. I misspoke the name of this “resort” – it’s actually the Swan at Disney World.
I’ll readily admit that I am not a Disney kind of guy – the idea of such a place gives me the creeps and I have no desire […]
At some point in the future I’m going to pop over to Japan for a few days vacation.
This will be the furthest east I have travelled (or west, but I haven’t ever crossed the Pacific, and Japan is certainly east of Germany) and there are a large number of things about the trip that […]
Today was the walk through of my new apartment—I now have the keys and am ready to move-in. The moving truck will appear Monday around noon with all my shit, so whilst I am not technically homeless, I am still practically homeless.
I spent last night in Berlin—after landing in Berlin early, I headed to […]
As a part of work, I do my best to maintain relationships with people and organizations relevant to what I do, which brought me to Cheltenham, UK.
By happy coincidence, this trip to Cheltenham has coincided with the 2008 The Times Literature festival—something I was unaware of as I started my search for a hotel. […]
Whenever I’m in Britain, I always feel like something slightly off.
I spent last night at the Holiday Inn Bristol Filton, a hotel located somewhere in the middle of nowhere in the vicinity of Bristol.
It’s the kind of hotel with a “pillow menu”.
That didn’t stop them from being British, […]
Incident Outline
Event: A previous guest or hotel employee set up the television in my guest room, room 107, to automatically turn on at 05:00.
Discovery: 05:00, when TV turns on while I was sleeping.
Desired/Expected Response From Hotel Clerk:
Me: The television in my room turned on at 5 this morning while I was […]
I’m pissed tonight—in both the British and American senses of the word.
First the British sense: I had a beer in the hotel lobby whilst checking my email. And then I had a beer at the bar. This is enough to make me pretty tipsy.
Secondly: The bar I went to had FIVE people, counting […]
I’m now in Paris for a few days—the first time I have ever spent more than 22 hours in the city.
I took the RER down from CDG to Paris; after exiting the train and going up the stairs I passed a young couple snogging in the station. A closer couple with clothing you could […]

TQE : That Queer Expatriate I'm an American living in Berlin, Germany -- which makes me an expatriate, not an ex-patriot. Before landing in Germany, I've lived in Denver, Colorado; Laramie, Wyoming; Bloomington, Indiana; and Weimar, Germany. If you want to write to me, feel free! The username is elmadaeu on the gmail.com service.
