I woke up in my hotel room in Toronto after the previous hellacious day, hopeful that I might actually make it to Halifax this time. After grabbing a shower and verifying that yes indeed the flight was listed as On Time (but knowing that this never reflected reality for Air Canada), I took the shuttle back to the airport. I… Read more »
The morning after Sunday’s concert, I had to get up far earlier than I wanted to. You see, I had a flight out of LaGuardia at 11am. But since it was considered an international flight (up to Canada), I was supposed to get to the airport by 9am. Ok, but I had to drop off Lance (yes, I name my… Read more »
I’m back home in Austin after my bday trip. But the trip was about much more than celebrating my annual trip around the sun. It was also a time for me to be by myself and come to grips with my dad’s passing. Everyone goes through grief differently it seems, and for me, I really needed to be completely alone… Read more »
My sleeper compartment on the night train from Prague to Budapest ended up being single occupancy, since the person that was supposed to hang out with me in Prague decided to skip out on me. The compartment was in one of the newish Comfortline sleeper cars. While it was more modern than the Polish sleeping car, it actually was more… Read more »
I’m in Budapest right now, grappling with my emotions. Wait…Let me back up a few days. In my previous post, I mentioned that I was going on a work trip, but I was going to sneak some fun into it as well. I started in London, which despite the rainy, cold weather, I still freaking love. This time I stayed… Read more »
I’m gearing up for a fairly long Thursday. I’m heading to Hawaii (Oahu specifically) for a week. My cousin and her family have been renting the same house for 13 years on the North Shore. Last May, while I was on the way to London, she sent me a message saying something like “I know it’s not glamorous but would… Read more »
I’m back in Austin. Actually, I got home late Monday night but as soon as I got up on Tuesday morning, I’ve been running with work, a follow-up visit with the doctor, and a suddenly active social life… Since I like to relive my travels, y’all are going to have to listen to me recount my week in London before… Read more »
Thursday morning, I woke up earlier than I needed to and probably still under the influence of a boatload of rosado. I repacked as quickly as I could, grabbed a shower and woke up the hubby. Previously, there had been some issues getting through security at the Barcelona Airport because there were work slowdowns by the security forces in the… Read more »
Well, I’m back from my trip to Spain, or should I call it Catalunya since most of my trip was within the region that has been a bit restless under Madrid’s control. I’m not well-versed enough to even dive into that discussion, so don’t even ask what I think about it because really – I don’t even know enough to… Read more »
After the magic of Old Town Tallinn, I felt that I was ending the “wandering” part of my journey on a high note. Despite the rain on my last night and the morning of my departure, I was really enchanted with Estonia and definitely want to return to explore more of the country and meet more of its people. But… Read more »
