I’m back in Austin (for a few days anyway) after spending a week or so in South Florida. As mentioned in my previous post, I was in Key West for a wedding of a good friend of mine and since we flew into and out of Fort Lauderdale, we spent some time with my college roommate and her husband. They… Read more »
I know it must feel like I’m in Florida every other week. And maybe because it’s pretty damn accurate. I’ll be heading back to South Florida next week. However, this time it’s for a wedding of a friend of mine from back in the day. She was one of my best friends when I lived in Ohio. Even though I’ve… 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 »
Picking up from the previous post…My sleeper compartment in the Polish train from Krakow to Prague ended up being a single, which made me extraordinarily happy not to have to share with either a boisterous young backpacker or a grumpy older woman. The compartment was in an older train car, no doubt about it. But it was clean and relatively… 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 in Miami right now, staying at my college roommate’s house. We had a great weekend boating up to Ft. Lauderdale and back on the Intercoastal. I had lots of sunscreen, swim shirts, long bathing suit coverups, a hat, and massively oversized sunglasses on for the vast majority of the time on the water. Which was fine with me as… 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 and back at work. I am having a difficult time getting motivated to be a productive worker bee even though I have a ton of work to do. I think I’m in mourning because I really had a great time over the past couple of days and it’s hard to believe that it’s over. Adam Ant… Read more »
OK, now that I’ve checked out of that hotel, I need to warn all y’all about staying at the Sheraton Jacksonville… Do not be deceived by the nice newer furnishings. As evidenced by my last post, that place has the worst insulation between the walls of the guest rooms. I’ve stayed in Motel 6s that had better sound proofing. Yesterday… Read more »
Currently sitting in a hotel just south of Jacksonville and since I finally got done doing a super-critical, last-minute work document, I figured I would recap my last couple of days in Florida for what I’m billing as my midlife crisis concert tour – for no other reason than I have the laptop fired up and I need to create… Read more »
