I was all geared up for the usual drama of air travel on the day before Thanksgiving. I had checked the weather forecast--no snow (except it was snowing, just a bit). I checked the news for anything related to traffic snarls or huge waits at security--I saw nothing out of the ordinary. So, of course, …

I’m Struggling Here
I know it's only Halloween (boo!), but I am already trying to figure out what to do for winter break. I'm probably traveling solo since Steven has a lot of work and won't be able to get away. Part of me is thinking, "Yay, I haven't traveled solo unless it was to visit a friend, …
Little Victories
As you all recall from our last episode, I had a somewhat trying trip from Charlotte to Chicago last Friday. If you don't remember, here is the link. Today, I pulled myself together and wrote a very nice, concise letter to American Airlines customer service. I figured what the hell, nothing wagered nothing lost. I …
Just a Bit of a Delay
I was traveling for work last week. Chicago to Charlotte on Tuesday night, then back home on Friday. The outward bound flight was nice and smooth; Chicago O'Hare was surprisingly crowded, but security moved quickly and the flight was on time. The flight home was another story. I was flying American Airlines from Charlotte to …
The hiatus was longer than I expected
We apologize, we truly meant to restart the blog as soon as the wedding was over, but the next week or so was a bit of a whirlwind and so here we are, married for 18 days and still haven't updated the blog. We are slackers. In our defense, we are also honeymooners, so there …
It Was a Busy Few Days
Last weekend, as I have previously written, was a baseball weekend with Josh. On Friday night, we went to Milwaukee and had great seats. We sat in the third row just off to the third base side of home plate. We were so close, we could almost reach out and touch the guys in the …
I Want to Stay Home???
Steven is on the road so I thought I would write for him. Plus, I forgot (I know, I know, terrible!) to write on Saturday, mostly because I feel like I haven't left a three-mile radius since August. I always thought it would be interesting to travel for work. Maybe I wouldn't always get to …
September Baseball
Yup. Another post about the best game in the world. Baseball. For those of you who missed the last installment of as the baseball spins, I will bring you up to date. Our intrepid baseball stadium travelers (Josh & Steven) visited Pittsburgh's PNC Park in August to get to the midway mark in the stadium tour(*). …
The Stadium Tour Continues
Last weekend I did my solo road trip to Pittsburgh, another stop in the grand tour of baseball stadiums. 500 miles each way, give or take a bit. I left around Friday noon, looking forward to a sunshine filled afternoon drive to Cleveland. Unfortunately, the weather gods decided to toy with me. It rained on …
Broad Strokes and Deep Dives
Steven and I tend to travel big. By that I mean, we want to see a lot so we may miss some of the smaller joys of a place. That's not to say that we drive-by travel. We are not taking selfies at national monuments and moving on, but we may spend only a day …
