BUZZ’S TRAVELOGUES #1 -Mount Fuji In addition to my “Buzz’s Bedtime Stories,” I’m going to crank up a new series for fun, “Buzz’s Travelogues.” Brief, little personal experiences from my world travels. I’ve seen a lot. Should be fun! Let’s start with Mount Fuji. We were laying over at Yokota AB, Japan, and had a few days off. I rallied the crew and we all crawled into a van and headed to Mount Fuji late one night. There may or may not have been beers involved. The mission: hike to the top and watch the sunrise. What an absolute legend of a hike. Started at the 5th station under headlamps at midnight, legs burning, lungs working overtime, but pushing through the dark with thousands of fellow climbers chasing that sunrise. The trail was steep, the air thin, but every step was worth it. The only obstacles were the one-liners flying on the climb up. A couple of times, we were laughing so hard we had to stop. We hit the summit just as the sun exploded over the horizon—Japan’s sacred mountain glowing in orange and pink. Pure magic. Fuji isn’t just a mountain; it’s a spiritual journey. Grateful for the legs that carried me, the views that humbled me, and the reminder that the hardest climbs give the best rewards. Crew camaraderie and laughter were the cherry on top. If you’ve done Fuji, you know the feeling. If not… add it to the list. 10/10, would suffer again. #MountFuji #FujiSan #BucketListCheck

The Beginning: That first time I took the controls and actually FLEW an airplane...I still remember the exact moment. Cleared for takeoff, full throttle, the little Cessna 172 surged down the runway at Hondo, Texas, like it couldn't wait another second. The nose lifts, the wheels kiss the pavement goodbye, and suddenly — you're not driving anymore. You're flying! I’d never, ever, flown before. The ground drops away, the horizon opens up, and your stomach does this wild flip that turns into the biggest, dumbest grin of your life. Wind rushing, engine roaring, hands on the yoke feeling every little bump on the air. The world shrinks into a living map below you — cars like ants, rivers like silver threads. For those first few minutes, it felt illegal. Like I’d hacked reality and stolen super powers. I laughed out loud in the headset like a kid on Christmas. Heart pounding, pure joy mixed with “holy crap I’m actually doing this.” Nothing — and I mean NOTHING — compares to that first solo moment when you bank the wings and the whole sky becomes your playground. If you’ve never done it, fix that immediately. Best rush on planet Earth. ✈️ Who else still gets goosebumps thinking about their first flight?

TBT de mi primera vez nadando con delfines en Cancún, hace algunos años. Una experiencia que llegó gracias a la invitación de mi amigo Luis Carlín… y que terminó siendo mucho más que un simple momento en el mar. 🌊🐬💞 #OceanVibes #BucketListCheck #TBT

A dining experience straight out of a dream. Every course told a story, every bite felt like a scene from a film. From Blade Runner to The Menu to What Dreams May Come, the night unfolded as a cinematic journey through memory, emotion, and artistry. I even got to see Grant Achatz in the kitchen, which felt like spotting the director on set. And the best part? I got to explore this unforgettable evening with my love by my side. This was a huge bucket list accomplishment and it exceeded every expectation. Favorite dish? The truffle potato. Rich, warm, and absolutely unforgettable. Biggest plot twist? A helium balloon you could eat. I laughed, I cried, I ate art. 📍The Alinea Group, Beverly Hills #ScriptedByFlavor #GrantAchatz #BucketListCheck #CulinaryTheater #FineDining #AlineaExperience #FoodAsArt #TruffleLove #MichelinMagic

Just casually holding up the Eiffel Tower like it’s no big deal… When in Paris, you have to strike the classic tourist pose — it's basically the law.
