Is this really happening? Have I lost my grip on reality? I can't find my cameraman. And there's a helicopter waiting... hovering 100 feet above us.

Hola! Today we’re flying with the President of Mexico to one of the wonders of our world. No, it's not a Mayan temple or a smoldering volcano. No one was sacrificed or conquered there. It's crazier than that. It took the imagination of a universe to divine a place this... startling. And to think it was just discovered some thirty years ago. Hop on …

The guys and I are on a video shoot in Florence, Italy. We're covering a chef's table so we're eating our way through course after succulent course. They're in heaven but I caught some travel bug and am about to lose my antipasto... all over the Ponte Vecchio.

Only problem: he’s the star of this show. No president. No show. So it’s my job to hopefully get him up on his feet and then seated down in the dune buggy. They didn’t teach us …

Still, after a week of non-stop activity, nothing prepared us for the sudden upheaval of being thrown into a desperate situation.…
