I have had many opportunities in my life to fly. I don’t have a pilot’s license, although maybe someday I’ll seek one. In the meantime, I love to fly as a passenger, in spite of stories like this and the many delays that you may encounter in an airport. So, lacking something else to say [...]
Some days, I SO feel like I need a vacation! This has been one of those weeks! I would love to travel to – really, anywhere! It would be really neat to go to state I’ve never visited before, and there are plenty. I think my sister’s old roommate was from North Carolina, so maybe [...]
I am really lucky in that, I have had so many neat opportunities to travel. I have been to many states in the US, and I have been to at least as many other nations. I’ve been to Asia twice, to Africa once, to Europe once, and to Central America once. I hope that before [...]
I’ve only been to California once in my lifetime. I didn’t go to most of the “famous” stuff, though – mostly we just toured the Hearst mansion. It was a class trip, so it was paid for by my school district (through a foundation). So, I can’t complain too much… when someone else is paying [...]
Our visits to Florida have been a family joke for years. Before I was born, my parents took my older sister to Florida twice. Of course, we tease her about her great love for the “Small World” ride at Disney World (hey, she was only six years old!).
I guess technically I was in utero during [...]
Road trips are a lot of fun… as long as you remain within the US!
There’s lots of car rental and car hire services around the world, but I’ve learned enough to know that outside of the US, it’s definitely wiser to just ride the bus or get someone else to drive you. Even in the [...]
Most of you know that I’m a Christian. I believe in Jesus’ atoning death on the cross. I believe this death is an absolutely incredible gift given to us. I believe God created the Church as a tool to spread His message. I do not believe in the church as it is.
I don’t write much [...]
I’ve decided to start adding stories from my travels to this blog.
Why? Mostly because I can’t think of anything else to write about.
But just to clarify: Right now I am home sweet home in the US of A.
In 1999, I went to Thailand, Laos, and Burma, with a stopover in Japan.
In 2001, I went to [...]
Our scheduled flights to England were fairly standard. We boarded at American Airlines flight at around 3pm taking us from Kansas City to Chicago (O’Hare Airport). In Chicago, we were scheduled to board a British Airways flight from O’Hare to London’s Heathrow Airport. These are pretty typical flights for people traveling from Kansas City to [...]
I have a friend who will be celebrating her 30th birthday later this year. She’s planning on creating a trip to Vegas with her friends. I’ve never been to Vegas, and I’d love to go, but Las Vegas travel can be expensive! I hope I can go, but it all depends on how my bank [...]
