It had known only good times in its short life, (see here, here, and here; ed.) and in those sweet, carefree days my budget's might was exceeded only by its innocence. Seventy-eight days later, my budget was drawn and gaunt, emaciated, starving, dehydrated and on the verge of expiration. It hadn't had sustenance since Mongolia, when my hotel reimbursed me $10 for an inadvertent overcharge. Since then, nothing. Three days ago, its teeth started falling out. My budget had come down with scurvy. 2007-06-11T21:07:30Z wiredsetman london, travel, schatzker, 80 days, budget, england, europe, blog, mark, bust, concierge

Francis demonstrated this exceptional ability last night at dinner. I was flummoxed, unable to decide what to choose as an appetizer, and so I put the following question to Francis: "How about the Atlantic seafood tian? Is it any good?" His answer: "Not really." Boom. An honest answer from an honest man. 2007-06-07T17:23:43Z wiredsetman cruise, england, london, europe, blog, travel, schatzker, mark, bust, 80 days, concierge

Half a millennium later, A guy named Lorenzo di Medici started running the show and throwing serious money at local artists like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci (best known for his thrilling novel, "The Da Vinci Code") and Botticelli.

My watch is correct once again. I am halfway around the world. Here on the other side of the world, no one seems to think I'm dressed very well. Every second man I pass in the street wants to make me brand new a suit.

Actually, it's the parking lot. I tried to get to the pier, but the security guard would hear nothing of it, for reasons that remain unclear. If all goes according to plan, I will be stepping onto said pier exactly 80 days from now. Soon after that, I will reach the parking lot. But I have many miles to go before any of that happens. 2007-03-26T16:03:39Z wiredsetman london, chicago, food, tech, boat, continents, trip, net, nast, conde, video, journey, brooklyn, Red Hook, concierge, conciergedotcom, 80, days, OR, bust, mark, schatzker, travel, web, blog, los, angeles, new, york, itinerary, car
