    2019-05-20 Love the One You’re With

    Namely Nebraska, my current home state. What DOES one do when they’ve recently been released from the responsibility of work and find themselves with a week that’s also without the typical parental requirements? .. They plan a road trip! (Of course 😉) This little adventure we are heading out on this morning will take us…

  • 2019-05-12 Chicago and The Road Home

    Our stay here was brief and as uneventful as it could be given the circumstances. My “mystery” sickness is better this morning and I forced down a bowl of oatmeal to prove it. If I had to guess what the hell happened yesterday I would say that it was a mix of a bad migraine…

    2019-05-11 Chicago – Stormy Weather Inside and Out

    I can’t hardly call this a trip to Chicago. I can’t report on any places I’ve been or things I’ve done or recommend anything. It is unlikely at this point that I will even be able to write a single review on a cheeseburger or pizza place or any other food for that matter. I…

    2019-05-10 On the Move Again…

    Right now I’m on a plane headed for Chicago (well, technically by the time I post this I’ll already have landed). For some reason the fact that this is a short flight somehow minimizes the anxiety I have about flying. Of course this makes no sense because this plane is just as capable of encountering…

    2019-04-23 The One About Souvenirs

    I like to travel and I used to buy souvenirs everywhere I went. When I moved at the end of 2015 and had to box up all my stuff I realized that I had too much “stuff”. If there’s one thing that moving does, it shines a light on all a persons crap. Just prior…

    2019-04-14 Spain Day 7: The Exit 🇪🇸

    Today we are headed home. Our adventure begins by trying to find the rental car return. All I can say about that is that some things are easier than others. 😜 The two hours they advise to arrive at the airport before departure is definitely a necessity in Barcelona. The airport was line after line…

    2019-04-13 Spain Day 6: Tour de Girona

    Today we took a bus to the northern Provence of Girona Spain where the capital city is Girona. It has grown in popularity in recent times because parts of season six of Game of Thrones was filmed there. There are many areas which we have visited on this trip that looked like they could have…

    2019-04-12 Spain Day 5: Tour de Barcelona

    I just spent 5 minutes trying to think of a catchy title for this blog post while Jim is cruising Netflix for something good. Nether one of us was successful (yet). I feel like today has been another full day in transit. We had to check out of our upper class hotel and abandon the…
