Thursday had arrived.  I, armed with a French model, made my way to find a tuxedo rental.  I had grandeur images of a James Bond tuxedo fitting, but Moss Bros For Hire did not deliver, go figure.  After trying a few on, we found the slim fit that Arthur says is so in right now.  Word of warning, once you’ve worn a tux, your other clothes will never be the same.  It felt good, I’m not gonna lie.  Although the rental shirts were a one size fit all, aka extra awkwardly large, I was avec tux.  With a couple hours to spare I was inspired to iron the pre-packaged tuxedo shirt.  Little did I know I was walking into the infamous “ironing incident”.

Part 1

Friends, parents, time itself, coming and going in but a fleeting moment.  Weeks flying by in the winds of lasting memories.  Memories made and shared by close friends.  Memories created and eternal through the bond of family.  New faces dawned the city of London, unfamiliar and unaware.  Though their voyages took on their own place in time, one common denominator was present, and his feelings of appreciation are hoped to have fallen on reminiscing thoughts.  A timeless friendship shared their voyage with laughter, a sharpie pen, and an extremely timely camera.  A family, restored after months and miles, shared a voyage filled with sights of wonder, English countryside, food, drink, and questioning the legitimacy of formal invitations.  These memories will be everlasting, and ones fortunately shared.

A City in the Details

Though the faces of one traveler had changed, two young men’s desire for experience remained true.  The pair were to embark on a journey of epic proportions.  A journey that would take them to a city that requires no introduction other than the name itself, Amsterdam.  Though obstacles arose from the onset of their expedition, nothing would prevent these lads from reaching their destination.  Travel by three means delivered them to the city of heavy reputation.  Little did they expect the beauty that was to behold them.

Back by popular demand, I give you the newest update of The Travelling Gentleman…

After a long two weeks of being hassled to write another post, I feel I have finally accumulated enough news to write more than a paragraph or two.  These couple weeks consisted of a Superbowl, my first proper English football experience, my first visit to Camden Town, the Bavarian Beerhouse, a flat party, becoming a fan of rugby, and all the while being held back from a world of opportunities by the financial and societal obligation known as higher education.  Let’s dive right in.
