After my Toronto trip, I was so excited to be greeted by warm weather in LA. However, I had to connect through Atlanta before arriving in LA. 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…]
According to AAA, a whole lot of people are expected to travel this holiday season, with about 5.7 million of those people choosing air as their primary form of travel. As someone who is up in the air a lot (in fact, I’m on my 81st flight this year as I write this), I have … [Read more…]
It’s that time of year again and everyone likes list posts, right? Well, to be honest they are easy to write and easy to read. But this list is special. All of these items are items I own and use, and would make great gifts for the frequent flyer or even the infrequent traveler in … [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…]
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 … [Read more…]
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 … [Read more…]
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 … [Read more…]
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 … [Read more…]
