That Story About The Experienced Traveler Who Scared The Crap Out Of His Wife And Almost Got Her Global Entry Revoked
I made a mistake that almost cost my wife her Global Entry. Who knows? It still may have. Here’s the story of how we ran into trouble on an otherwise normal flight back to the US.
An Open Letter To My Wife
It’s not completely about travel. But, it’s something I’ve been meaning to write for a while now.
Respect For Service And Sacrifice
I was clearing security in an airport on my way home this morning, eager to see my family after a few days away. I miss them when I’m gone, which likely comes as no surprise to those that read my blog on a regular basis. Even though I spend a good portion of time away from the family, I’m lucky. As I headed up the escalator towards security, a handful of military folks in uniform hopped on the escalator in front of me. At the top, they headed off to […]
I’m Feeling A Little Down This Morning
Business travel is stressful enough when the family is well. But, when things go wrong at home, it makes travel that much harder.
Which Way To The Plane? Take Alpha To Bravo
The best laid plans… So, before this picture, I had a couple of days planned to get caught up on a bunch of blog posts I need to write. The good news is that they don’t think it’s broken, but we’ve got two weeks in a cast to be safe, then a follow-up (and hopefully a cast free rest of the summer). At any rate, hoping to get back to blogging shortly. In the interim, here’s a little bit of info only an aviation geek could find funny/interesting. Upon landing […]
Priceless (To Me) And Funny Pictures To End Our European Trip
Maybe 10 days in Europe makes our kids nutty, or maybe they were nutty before the trip. But, these are the kind of moments that make me smile.
Wrapping Up A Vacation And Getting Ready For More
Travel can be the most rewarding thing to share with your loved ones. I’m truly lucky to be able to travel with my family as much as possible. A brief moment in my work travel had me thinking about the fun travel and looking forward to more with my family.
Thank You For Your Thoughts
Wow. I have to say I’m more than a bit overwhelmed. I haven’t been paying attention to much the last 28 hours other than the family member we were forced to say goodbye to yesterday. I’ve been trying my best to read and respond to all the comments people left, and I inadvertently clicked on “Stats” instead of “Comments” this morning when I was going to approve a few comments that were awaiting moderation. I’m literally blown away by the number of people who read my post from last night. […]
When Life Takes A Heart-Breaking Turn
This post will have absolutely nothing to do with miles and points. If that’s the value you get out of my blog, I’m very thankful, but this post won’t help you with any of that. I was inspired to write this today after watching my good friend Summer (Mommy Points) share a similar story not too long ago as she dealt with the pain of losing her companion. Writing has always been an outlet for me, whether happy or sad. It’s a necessary outlet right now. I remember that day […]
