• Bricole Take On Guanajuato

     After months of tired and outlandish excuses like, “I have to work…,” Nicole finally gave in and joined me on a red-eye flight to Léon, Mexico.  Nicole, incidentally has been to some pretty interesting places around the globe ranging from Sri Lanka to Albania and Bosnia. Until last week, she had not been to Canada.…

  • Brian’s Day Out in Marfil

    Where is Marfil you ask? Is that some new overnight? Well, I’ve been at this location probably 20 times in the last two months alone. Marfil is the technical location of the crew hotel for the Guanajuato overnight. The whole setup can be confusing because the airport is labeled as “Leon” on the departure boards, while…

  • BJX From New Eyes

    Well here I am again in good old Guanajuato. For the first time since I’ve been coming down here, a few crewmembers expressed interest in going into town. If I must be honest, I kind of prefer to fly solo around here because I have a bit of a routine when I go into town,…

  • Las Momias!

    Well here I am, back in Guanajuato, a UNESCO world heritage site, and home of the Museo de las Momias (the mummy museum). I had tried to go a few months back, but it was a Saturday and the lines were out of control just to buy tickets. As today is a Tuesday, I had…

  • Photo Essay on Guanajuato

This was not adequate time to explore since a taxi is required to actually get to the historical zone. I had a…

  • First Flights out of LAX

    My very first flight out of LAX as a pilot based there was delayed. Weather? Excessive flow you might ask? Nope. A dog on the loose on the tarmac. For 30 minutes airport police tried to corral the four-legged antagonist to no avail. The ground controller was very busy directing planes to stop and go…

  • Tacos.

    I was assigned a simple out-and-back trip down to Leon/Guanajuato in Mexico. This time, I would be arriving in the evening, and departing early morning, so not much time to venture out and explore. However, while introducing myself to the crew, they inquired, “Do you like tacos?” Who doesn’t like tacos? Everyone likes tacos. You…

  • Wanna Guanajuato?

    It was another morning of setting the alarm at 4 am. Also keep in mind that this is also on the east coast, so back in LA, it’s 1 am. Somehow, with all these weird time changes and early call times, my body adapts and functions. I have yet to succumb to requiring coffee. They…
