NUMBER ONE! You're gonna need a guidebook; traveling abroad without one is like going into a game without a playbook. And I only did that the one time against Cal because John bet me lunch I couldn't.
The only thing sweeter than the win was the chicken teriyaki you had to pay for, John. And I'm not sorry I ordered a bottle of plum wine that I only had one glass of.
My guidebook of choice? Rick Steves. I respect his tireless work ethic, his passion for small details, and his love of a color scheme.
