Happy 90210 day! Cheesy, yes, but funny too, especially for those of us who watched the show growing up and fondly remember conversations with classmates about how “real” it was. Ah, junior high.

It will also make you laugh–something that is becoming increasingly important while traveling these days. A great gift for the Road Warriorette in your life!!

August 2009. What was I doing? What was I thinking about? What was I writing about?? It is still hard to believe that I have already been blogging for over a year. This time last year I was visiting Salt Lake City on a regular basis, looking forward to the Paul McCartney concert, and trying…

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…
