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…]

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…]
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 … [Read more…]

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 … [Read more…]
