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 …
The Wedding weekend
Oops, this fell of the radar and didn't get published. Better late than never! I know that it isn't quite travel related, but I figured I would bend the rules and write about our wedding. Our travel related posts will be on Saturday, when we will live from New York. Sue & I tied the …
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 …
