I know that Sue promised you that I would have my trip spreadsheet ready by today, but I am afraid that I just have not gotten to it yet. Have no fear, I will get it done, perhaps for my next post. In the meantime, we have been looking at all the things to do …

Where to Next? Costa Rica!
So remember last week when I was whining because we didn't know where we wanted to go, but there was snow in November and just--yuck!After looking into various options, you already know that we are going to Florida for winter break. With such short notice, everything else was out of reach, but the exploration led …
We Have a Plan
This will be us when we visit Steven's mom. We got three inches or so of snow on Sunday night/Monday morning and the temps have stayed in the mid-20s. Oh boy, I love Chicago. Despite our best efforts, we just couldn’t figure where to go abroad for winter break. Everything was very expensive and the trips …
Let’s Get Outta Here!
A random beach for a so far non-existent vacation plan. As I sit here on Thanksgiving weekend awaiting a pre-December snowstorm (or maybe just some snow. Who trusts the weather forecast?), I am wracking my brain trying to figure out how to get out of here, where to go, and who will watch my beautiful …
Holiday travels
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, …
The Things I Do For My Dog
All my life, I have disdained the notion of traveling via RV. Fine for other people, not for me. Too slow, too confining, too restrictive in terms of places to stay. But ... Steven and I are debating a longer trip in which we would stay places for 2-3 weeks or more. We want to …
Oh, Great….It is Snowing
Beware of the Ides of November....because you may get snow!!! UGH!!!!! I can't believe that it is snowing. Now I know what you are thinking...how does this relate to travel? Well, dear readers, the answer is because I need to figure out how to travel the hell out of Chicago for any month that has …
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 …
