in major travel mode

1 Mar 2010

Milwaukee was so much fun this weekend, that it’s got me stuck in major travel mode. On the way back, we were talking about where we wanted to head this summer, whether it’s just the two of us, or the three of us, depending on whether or not a certain almost 13 year old boy [...]

The General and I are forgoing large scale Christmas presents for each other this year (last year, there was a new camera and a Kitchenaid mixer involved in our holiday celebration) and go to Vegas in February (or early March) instead. That’s a decision I can live with.
Last time I went to Las Vegas, it [...]

Sometime in mid-July, the homies and I went camping. The General stayed at home leaving me to my own devices. And my own tent, which I set up all by myself for the first time ever, thank you very much. It didn’t leak and there weren’t any wild animals inside it when I went to [...]

packing lightly

I’m in the midst of trying to pack enough clothes to last me the weekend on a campsite next to a river, where it’s supposed to rain Friday night and get down in the 50s Saturday night. But on the other hand, I’m keeping in mind that we’re staying in a walk-in site this year, [...]

I’ve been to Branson twice in my life (that I can remember) – once in 5th grade with my best friend Angie and her family and once when I was a senior in high school and we had a jazz band competition nearby. Not once in my adult life have I wanted to go back. [...]

Or Wauwatosa. But it’s close. We got here around 8pm last night, arriving in our fashionable Kia Rio. Sub-compact is how we roll when our normal mode of transportation (my 2001 Ford Escape) isn’t really up to road trip par right now.
We drove around the area last night for a while looking for a place [...]

When were in the St. Louis area over Thanksgiving, we headed for a day of touristy type fun in St. Louis proper. Since it was nearing lunch time before five of us got around to leave the house, we opted for stopping for some lunch before sight-seeing at The Gateway Arch. Our lunch spot of [...]

Dance Plans were executed last night, but apparently we were the only people, aside from a Hot Tranny Mess, that were planning on dancing at that bar. We danced to Pussy Control by Prince and Sabatoge by Beastie Boys and then The General and I called it a night at the bar. But not before [...]

In planning my trip to MO/IL over Thanksgiving, I’ve had to act as my own travel agent, finding the cheapest hotels that’ll take a big fat dog in Coralville, IA, and my hometown of Sedalia, MO.
I abused Priceline for my find in Coralville. The Priceline Negotiator himself found something that almost results in them paying [...]

The past two nights, Jenni and I have been talking about our cruise next year. They were talking about going in February (which would be awesome), but I’ll be sitting kinda low on vacation and we’ll probably be moving either the month before or sometime right around that time period. And regardless of how much [...]
