    A non-love letter to US Air

    Dear US Air, How are things? Good? That’s great. I saw that you recently were ranked 3rd to last in a consumer satisfaction survey. Congrats. You must be proud. I’ve complained a significant amount about traveling to Philadelphia each week. But, I’ve largely kept my complaints from you as an airline. Primarily, I’ve been annoyed…

    Sunset Flights

    Let’s be honest. You knew this was coming. I didn’t post any airplane pictures on Monday … and it happens pretty much every week… so it was inevitable. But yesterday was a little bit different for a few reasons….  (1) my flight was on-time… this happens like never from Philadelphia. Philadelphia airport might be my…

    Traveling fate… It is what it is

    So that is what the Cape looks like from above… Apparently. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that before from the air. Obviously, I’m back flying again and not to pleased about it. Some days flying is easy breezy, where as the next day makes me cringe with hatred for US Air. For example, today…

    Setting the tone

    Is it weird that sometimes when I’m flying I feel super high up in the air?  I would imagine that is because of the clouds. The closer they seem, the closer I feel to the ground. This morning in the security line at Logan airport there was a man in a suit standing near the TSA…

    Hotel Rants (but no Raves)

    Source: harmoniogkontrast.blogspot.com via Gayla on Pinterest In life I like to think I’m not picky, I roll with the punches. I’m certainly particular, but not picky. Perhaps I’m arguing based on semantics but since I’m the one writing, I get the final say. However, in traveling life I willingly admit that I’m picky. Its not…

    Cozy Rain

    Source: shannoneileenblog.typepad.com via Sanela on Pinterest It’s raining today in Boston… and It’s foggy in Philadelphia. I just can’t win weather wise 🙂 Rain always makes me want to do one of two things: 1) Go for a run outside 2) Stay inside and snuggle on a couch. Often option #2 wins out. Like today,…

    Yippee! More Travel!

    Sarcasm. But yes… Another day of travel. Yesterday I was lucky enough to fly over my hometown on my way to Philly. Like I mentioned last Friday, I just really like looking out the window when I’m in the air. Even if it’s cloudy I still think it’s awesome. This flight is just so short…

    Sky High

    When I fly alone, I require the aisle. I like to limit the stranger danger and I also like to know that I’m guaranteed at least one armrest. But, if you and I were to travel together, I’d probably request the window. Not only because I could use your shoulder for a pillow but also…

    Not my cup of tea.

    I have a few blog posts that I’ve been meaning to write – mainly an update to my life list and a note on my rental car for the week…. so stay tuned for those. But, I feel as though I need to talk about my trip to the gym last night. I’ve been working…

    I miss the train.

    I miss the train. A lot. This week I have to work out of nowheresville Pennsylvania and as a result i have to fly. This makes my life infinitely more complicated. All of the glorious reasons I love train do not apply to flying. For example, I had to get up super early in order…
