Okay, maybe I don’t actually hate Ohio. In fact I have family there, and I spent some great times as a child playing with cousins in North Canton. But it seems like every time I go there as an adult I have the worst trips. My first trip to Ohio for work almost three years…
Trips
Amazing Yoga Weekend in Chicago
This past weekend, I went to Chicago to visit my sisters. I hadn’t seen them since my younger sister’s wedding in February, which is six months ago. Six months is the longest I think I’ve ever gone without seeing at least one of them, so to say I was excited about this trip would be…
On Vacation This Week!!
This past Saturday, Home Warrior and I left for Cozumel. We will be gone for a week, staying at the lovely Iberostar resort. I know that we will enjoy this trip, which is actually the first real vacation we have taken alone since our honeymoon four years ago. We have plans to snorkel, visit ruins,…
The Mountain Is Conquered!!
I got through it! I made it! The five weeks of brutal, every-business-day-plus-some-weekend-days travel is over! I now get to stay at home for at least three weeks, with just a couple of day trips thrown in. I got through it, but I’ll tell you, it was dicey there at the end. Friday night I…
My Thoughts on Pittsburgh
My experience in Pittsburgh was heavily dominated by Snowmaggedon 2010. I managed to get on the last flight from Boston to Pittsburgh before everything was cancelled, which was good, but I had to cancel my car and rely on the Marriott shuttles to get me places. I was a little apprehensive about this, but the…
The Tour of NPR Fundraisers
This week I am in the New York City area. I have meetings on Long Island two days and in the White Plains area two days. However, because of my general ignorance of the Greater NYC area, I chose to stay in one hotel, in the White Plains area. I didn’t realize that Long Island…
Car Trip vs. Plane Trip
This week I drove to Dallas. It is very strange to me how much easier and less stressful it is to get ready for a car trip than a plane trip. I fly almost everywhere I go for work. It’s not that I stress about packing, exactly. It’s just that I know in the back…
My Thoughts on Boston
I know this is a few weeks late, but I’ve been super busy……Sorry! Boston is a beautiful, interesting, historic city. I had planned to take a few hours to do some sightseeing (Fenway Park or the Freedom Trail would have been awesome) but because of the stupid blizzard I only got a few nights on…
Off to South Texas for my Sister’s Wedding!!
We have made it to the Rio Grande Valley! Yesterday my sister and parents set off for the Valley in a caravan of sorts. Five stops later (not kidding, we stopped at the Outlet Mall, Whataburger, the gas station, and to use the restroom twice) we made it to my Memaw’s house. Wedding preparations are…
Snowmaggedon 2010
Just wanted to share a picture of the view outside of my hotel room in Pittsburgh. Amazing. And it’s still snowing.
