  • Disney World, here we come!

    07 Jan 2008 » 1 min read about Travel

    I spoke to vickyandnorm this evening and it’s official! The four of us (Kelly, myself, Norm and Vicky) are heading to Orlando, Florida in mid-March to spend 4 days at Disney World! I’m working on arranging our flights, but I’m already really looking forward to the trip, a kind of reprise of last year’s trip…

  • Back to real weather

    26 Dec 2007 » 1 min read about Travel

    We left Ft. Myers on time at 9:30 AM. We had a direct flight back to Reagan National airport and it was uneventful. While it was sunny and warm when we left Florida, it was rainy and cold when we arrived in Washington. We waited at baggage claim for our luggage and then made our…

  • Christmas Eve Day

    25 Dec 2007 » 1 min read about Travel

    Christmas Eve Day began with breakfast and then a workout at the gym. (I did a full chest and back workout, while Kelly did cardio.) After that, we decided to head to the local mall to do some last minute browsing around before Christmas. This was another outdoor mall, and although it was early afternoon…

  • Edison Ford winter estate

    23 Dec 2007 » 1 min read about Travel

    Yesterday, we went to the Edison Ford Winter Estate, the place the Thomas Edison and Henry Ford would spend their winters in Fort Myers, Florida. It was a magnificent day, warm air with a pleasant breeze that quickly made you forget it was only a few days before Christmas. The estate sits on the Caloosahatchee…

  • We’re in Florida!

    22 Dec 2007 » 1 min read about Travel

    We got into Ft. Myers, yesterday, maybe half an hour late. Kelly’s parents picked us up from the airport and took us back to their house. The weather here is outstanding! It was in the 70s when we got here. Before dinner, Kelly and I went for a bike ride around the community and I…

  • Atlanta, Georgia

    21 Dec 2007 » 1 min read about Travel

    Apparently there is some debate as to whether sitting in an airport counts as being in a state. Personally I don’t see why it wouldn’t. That being said, Kelly and I are sitting in the airport in Atlanta, and I count it as my first visit to both Atlanta and Georgia. The flight down was…

  • Red eyes

    25 Nov 2007 » 1 min read about Travel

    [Written on 11/26/2007] I took the red eye back from LAX last night. Doug, Rachel and Dad dropped me off at LAX at about 8 PM (and even thought PCH was closed due to the Malibu fires, we hit no traffic on the way to the airport, which came as a mild surprise). There was…

  • Scuba

    24 Nov 2007 » 2 min read about Travel

    Yesterday, while the girls went to their fancy spa to get their fancy facials and whatever else people get in spas, the boy went scuba-diving. Mom arranged it with a friend of hers who teaches scuba diving. Doug, stubiebrother and I headed to Thousand Oaks to the Sports Chalet, where at about 10 AM, we…

  • Upgrade confirmed

    20 Nov 2007 » 1 min read about Travel

    I got an email from United this morning indicating that my first class upgrade on my flight to L.A. on Thursday morning was confirmed. Usually, I don’t have to wait until the last minute because I use miles, but this time, I used some of the upgrade credits I get for being a frequent flier,…

  • Updates coming soon

    04 Sep 2007 » 1 min read about Travel

    I had very limited computer access over the last three days but rest assured that blog entries for those days are on their way. I got back into town this morning at 8 AM and now I’m off to bed for a while to catch up on sleep. Expect the updates later this afternoon or…
