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…
One of the greatest perks about having Seattle as your home base is the amazing views from up in the air. I generally recommend people sit on the right side of the plane while traveling in and out of Seattle, because if the flight paths are right, you’ll get the best views. As I boarded…
Like most Americans, I love a good Buffalo Chicken Wing. And since I was in Buffalo, I had to test out a few varieties to see which wing spot had the best wings in Buffalo. While most people would argue that Anchor Bar or Duff’s are the places to check out, we also heard that…
I arrived in Buffalo safe and sound, and we stayed downtown at the Embassy Suites. There aren’t a ton of options in downtown Buffalo, but the Embassy Suites was a newer hotel, close to Shea’s and plus, Hilton points. Overall it was a decent hotel, but the room service food could have been better. I…
After I had a wonderful 12 hours of sleep, I woke up early and checked the weather. It didn’t look good. And the Nor’Easter, well, it arrived. I braved the weather and went to check out Hot Suppa for breakfast. It’s in the West End, which is totally within walking distance to my hotel, but…
Well, this epic day, which happened to be my birthday, was so great that I broke this post into two parts. If you want to go back and read part one, you can do so here. After I left the museums, I walked a few blocks to Eventide Oyster Co. I’ve heard great things about…
Well, today was so epic that I had to break it down into two parts. Here’s the morning. First, it’s my birthday! I decided to come up here to Portland, ME because I’ve never been to Maine and I really wanted to visit Portland. So far, I’m not disappointed. And who knew Portland was such…
Today my friend Greg took me to breakfast at the little diner at the end of his street called Gary’s Handy Lunch. Gary’s is a cute little 50’s style diner/greasy spoon type of place. The food came out quick, and was good. I had an omelette from the special board (sausage, mozzarella, onion tomato) and potatoes. Usually…
I left Charlotte in the morning and had a connection at DTW. Normally I would have found another route, but the Global Entry office at DTW had appointments open, and I needed to stop by. Upon arrival, I checked in at the Delta SkyClub. They have lockers, where I was able to store my bag while…
After a quick flight from LGA, I landed in CLT. The airport (or at least the Delta terminal, does it have two terminals?) was smaller and it was easy to get to baggage claim and quickly claim my bag. Sadly, I did have to board a bus to the National rental counter (I loathe shuttle…
