In a year where things were far from normal, the biggest adventure, besides becoming a pandemic dog owner (a story for another time), was my big journey from Phoenix  to Scottsdale.  Join me on my best 2020 trip… a magical place where clocks don’t exist because no one works anymore, the pool is a geriatricContinue reading “85054 meets 85258”

Oh Alanis Morissette, you were singing our song before we even knew. One year to date I started this blog and one year to date, I am taking my first flight in months, hindered by a no-fly mandate. Four months, at least six cancelled trips and countless face masks later, here I am, Omaha bound.Continue reading “Isn’t It Ironic, Don’t ya think?”

Quarantine Day 3947498579845 – or realistically like 30.  I know EVERYONE is in the same boat, whether you are a homebody or a total extrovert, social distancing and isolation is really cramping our style – not complaining, happy to do it, just saying…. Which first of all, I am starting a petition when this isContinue reading “Warning: Isolation Realizations Coming in Hot”

Oh my… what a week it has been.  Wait has it only been a week?? I don’t know, I have lost count.  I say that facetiously but honestly I have to look at my calendar like 8 times a day because it feels like Groundhogs Day. As I sit here typing this, I am rackingContinue reading “Groundhogs Day”

Oh hey, my computer died and I forgot to charge it and here we are in March… does that sound like a valid excuse to not have posted??  In truth, my friend Mary reminded me of this when I started this – the beauty of starting something with no expectations is I can do whateverContinue reading “Grounded”

The ultimate traveler fail – I lost my status.  I came within 2 one-way flights to get A-List status for next year’s travel season and I screwed the pooch.  Granted, it isn’t that fantastic of a perk – just a little reward of quicker boarding and more flexible flight changes to compensate for all thoseContinue reading “Travel Much?”

One of my favorite things about plane small talk is you learn things you would never have any reason to know other than you are passing time with a person telling you about something. And in order to keep the conversation not awkward, you ask questions and inquire. Or you could just put in  yourContinue reading “Fabulous Finds”

First of all, howdy and hello! It’s been a while, not because I am lacking trips but because I am lacking enthusiasm to talk to people.  Just kidding but actually…not. Early morning flights, late night events and 3 hour time changes lead me, as of late, to choose a quick snooze over a chat.  ButContinue reading “The Friendly-ish Skies”

One of the main reasons I considered starting this “storytelling platform” (it’s not a blog) was to share my experiences of the weird people, interesting people and some people I hope to never have to sit next to again in my life – the most memorable being the man who sniffed crushed up pills offContinue reading “Gate 5: Departing for Adulthood”
