My Traveling Nightmare Is Over — For Now

Posted on: 12 July 2008 /

Categories: Travel

Was out of town on three of four consecutive weekends. Chicago, New York, Taos. There were fantastic things about each of those trips, but I’m (predictably) sick now (I’m assuming there’s a correlation), the house is messed up, I probably have overdue bills, I haven’t worked out or gone running since the travel period started,

All Things Go, All Things Go (Went to Chicago)

For work. And I’m not actually a big Sufjan Stephens fan, I just couldn’t get that song out of my head while I was there. Spent Sunday and Monday with my brother and his family before heading to the conference. Returned home last night. Had a good time. Got caught out in a sudden rainstorm

Cross-Country Road Trip Plans

Not sure when I’m going to get around to it, but I’m planning on taking a three- or four-month cross-country road trip. I’d be interested to hear what anyone has to say about where I should or shouldn’t go. Here are my priorities: States I’ve never set foot or tire in (from left to right:

More B-52 Photos, By Request (Plus a Couple Pics of AMARG)

Posted on: 15 March 2008 /

And because, let’s face it, I’m never actually going to get around to putting anything on Flickr. And because the last set didn’t include any actual photos taken from the boneyard at Davis-Monthan (AMARG — Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group), here are a few. The bus, as mentioned last post, made it tough to

Pima Air and Space Museum and the Davis-Monthan Boneyard

Posted on: 13 March 2008 /

Categories: Travel

Went out to Tucson last weekend ahead of some business meetings I had in Tempe on Tuesday. Primary purpose: visit the AMARG and the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base airplane boneyard (I think “boneyard” sounds less ominous than “graveyard”, although I suppose maybe it shouldn’t). Tours of the boneyard are facilitated by the Pima Air and

One Final Kauai Vacation Bring-Down and Advance Planning for Future Bring-Downs

Just FYI, there were a couple days of my Kauai vacation that looked (and felt) like this: Even better: it’s at Wal-Mart. Saw this pic again looking through my photos today. Made me feel slightly better about being, you know, not there. Similarly, any time I think about my Utah house, I try to remind

Notes to Self: A Vacation Post-Mortem

Posted on: 9 December 2007 /

Categories: Travel

Given a choice, never take the red-eye again. Changing planes in HNL probably isn’t that bad a thing. Look at the directions for how to get to the hotel/condo you’re staying in before getting into the rental car. And check to see whether the rental car has a dome light before driving off. Because if

Renting the Jeep Wrangler on Kauai

Categories: Other, Travel

Pros: Strikes impressive pose against red-clay graveyard backdrops. Complete inability to effectively lock vehicle (you can’t lock the zippers and velcro that keep the top on) enforces devil-may-care attitude regarding stuff. Has an AUX jack for your iPod. “When you’re driving behind a Kia and the Kia makes it through the flooded road all right,

Update from Suffer-Zone Kauai

Categories: Hiking, Travel

Endured another couple days here on Kauai. Went up to the North Shore today and hiked up to Hanakapi’ai Falls. It’s sort of like you’re going on the big Na Pali hike, except that after two miles you chicken out and turn left (instead of doing the 11-in, 11-out of the full two-dayer). One of

I Suck at Vacation

Categories: Self Promotion, Travel

But am trying to make due. Been on Kauai since Wednesday. It’s different from Orange County. Hard to find POG for some reason. Haven’t found a plate lunch place yet. Still haven’t figured out how to relax. I should be *doing* something. Bought two Hawaiian shirts and a shell necklace yesterday, which I’m hoping will
