As it turned out, all travel arrangements worked out perfectly yesterday. Kelly and I got to Dulles, were through security in two minutes, and made our way to the Red Carpet Club. We had a couple of drinks there before catching our 9:35 PM flight to Orlando. Our flight was on time and arrived 5…
Another trip is on the calendar. I have to go to Santa Monica for work the week of April 21. So, I’m now booked on United to LAX early in the morning on April 21. I’ll be there until Sunday afternoon, April 27. Kelly may be coming out for the weekend, which would be really…
I made it to Beantown. The flight was uneventful, and a few minutes early. Somehow, though I’ve been to Boston many times before, this was the first time I ever flew into Logan. The water approach reminded me a little of the approach into Oakland. Cabs are expensive. $20 from the airport to the Westin…
I was up at 8 am and headed to Dulles just after 9 am. Hit a little bit of traffic on the way but I was sitting in the Red Carpet Club just after 10:30 am. My flight boards in about 7 minutes. Bad allergy day today. I took some Clariton when I got up…
Our whirlwind weekend tour of Denver came to a close at about 12:30 AM when we got home from the airport. We crammed a lot into 48 hours. I already mentioned what we did on Saturday. Sunday’s schedule was no less hectic–and just as fun. It started with Brunch at a place called Zaidy’s with…
We started off the day with a breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes and sausage courtesy of Steph and Jim. After breakfast, Kelly and I headed toward downtown to see her brother and nephew. We got the tour of their new place (the balcony overlooks downtown Denver) and hung out for a while before deciding to…
Our flight departed Baltimore on time. I had put us in for a first class upgrade and we were waitlisted. I was #5 and Kelly was #9. I figured that I’d get the upgrade and she wouldn’t and I was prepared to let her take my seat in first class. I did get upgraded, but…
Kelly and I are sitting in United’s Red Carpet Club awaiting our flight to Denver. We’re scheduled to get into Denver at about 7:30 pm local time. I didn’t bring my laptop so all my posting will be via my iPhone this weekend, which means short posts. I’m sure no one out there will complain.…
Kelly and I caught the 5 PM Acela to NYC yesterday. I tried to upgrade us to first class with some free upgrade coupons I had, but since I had already used one discount (Kelly’s ticket was a companion ticket) I couldn’t do it. So we rode in the regular Acela Business Express class. We…
This afternoon, after work, I braved the metro Red Line (with delays abound over the long weekend due to station maintenance) to head over to Union Station and get our train tickets for this weekend. I had a free companion voucher that could only be redeemed in-person. But Kelly and I now have round-trip tickets…
Adding to my existing slate of travel, I am now going to Denver. Kelly and I are heading there for a weekend to visit her brother and her nephew. We head out late Friday afternoon February 8 and get back very late on Sunday, February 10. The only time I’ve been to Denver is passing…
I finally decided on how I’m going to get up to Boskone next month. I just purchased my tickets on United. The airfare wasn’t great, but I used some of my Mileage Plus Visa credits to get a $139 discount, so the tickets only cost me $180 roundtrip. Plus I’ve upgraded to first class both…
