This is my second trip to Syracuse for work, again I was there for an event at Destiny USA. I had a great time on my first trip to Syracuse in November, but I didn’t have a ton of time to enjoy all the the gems that the city offers because I had to rush … [Read more…]
I woke up, saw a notification from Delta Airlines. And then it all hit me. Oh yeah, I bought a ticket to Vegas last night, and the plane leaves in a few hours.
I needed two more nights at the Hilton in 2014, so I called Laura and asked her if she wanted to take a random trip to Portland. Of course, she was in. We left after work on Friday, and headed down at about 6:00 p.m. The freeway was a mess, and I half listened to … [Read more…]
It’s that time of year again; I’m heading home for the holidays. And home for me is the Detroit suburbs. Since this is a personal trip and not a work trip, I saved a few bucks by jumping on the light rail from Westlake to SeaTac. I opted to leave a little earlier, just in case. … [Read more…]
If you haven’t read part one of this trip, you should go here and do that. Laura and I started our day a little late. We were both still on Pacific time (Laura more than me) and who doesn’t like to sleep in. Our plan for the day was to do a lot of very … [Read more…]

When I got to Atlanta, I checked my phone and received some new messages between the time WiFi went out and we landed. Without getting into it too … [Read more…]
After my 30 hours home in Seattle, it was time to head to Toronto. Now, I have a love/hate relationship with business travel to Canada. There are many reasons as to why, but to start, it’s always a little anxious crossing the border (and yes, I have a Nexxus and Global Entry card), and you … [Read more…]
I arrived safely in Phoenix (where it was so warm!) and went straight to the mall to help set up (even though I was absolutely exhausted). After set up went to our hotel, The Hilton Phoenix Chandler, to catch a few hours of shut eye before going back to set up around 5:30. Just as I … [Read more…]
Whenever I’d tell people that I was headed to Syracuse, I would often receive the “I’m so sorry.” response. And some of these people were from the area. I didn’t have high hopes going into Syracuse, but was determined to find some cool stuff to do and see. Remember in a previous post when I … [Read more…]
