  • To Los Angeles!

    08 Sep 2006 » 1 min read about Travel

    I haven’t been to visit Dan and Megan for a while now and so I decided to check the fares on United from Baltimore to LAX. Over the summer they’d been pretty outrageous. So I checked and round-trip fares are currently $218! I called Dan and asked if I could come out the weekend of…

  • The Golden Age

    25 Aug 2006 » 2 min read about Travel

    The Golden Age of life is alwaysfive to ten years behind you. At least, that’s how it seems to me, and I’ll explain what I mean. I don’t remember exactly when it started, but when I was in high school, I can remember thinking fondly of my long lost youth, and casting my mind’s eye…

  • Off to NYC

    I’ll be in New York until Monday morning. And at the Yankee game tomorrow!

  • Aviation Expo

    06 Aug 2006 » 1 min read about Travel

    Thinking about L.A. got me thinking about Aviation Expo at Van Nuys airport. It was one of the things that I loved going to during the summers. I’d heard that it was canceled a few years back, but never found out why. This evening, curiosity got the best of me. I searched online and about…

  • City of Angels

    06 Aug 2006 » 1 min read about Travel

    I caught part of “City of Angels” on one of the HBO channels tonight and it reminded me of living in L.A. I went to my diary and searched around for when I saw that movie, but I don’t think I noted it. It came out in April 1998 but there was no notation in…

  • New York, New York

    04 Aug 2006 » 1 min read about Travel

    I finally got around to getting my Acela tickets for next weekend when, once again, I head up to New York. As I think I’ve mentioned, I’m going to a Yankee game on Saturday with strausmouse and rmstraus. As before, I head up late Friday afternoon, and return mid-morning on Monday. Incidentally, both strausmouse and…

  • Vacation 2007

    24 Jul 2006 » 1 min read about Travel

    As a followup to an earlier post on the cruise I’ll be taking in 2007, it looks like the vote is in, and we will be doing a Greek Island cruise. Instead of a 7 night cruise, however, it will be a 12 night cruise. The particular cruise we are looking at now has the…

  • Back to work

    24 Jul 2006 » 2 min read about Travel

    I caught the 10 AM Acela back to DC this morning. It was nice because the train was not too crowded. I sat in the quiet car, as usual, and this time, I was a little annoyed.

  • On my way to NYC

    21 Jul 2006 » 1 min read about Travel

    I’m about ready to head out of here and over to Union Station to catch the 3 PM Acela to NYC. Jen and Jason now have wireless Internet access in their new place so I will be posting as usual from Manhattan.

  • In a New York Minute

    17 Jul 2006 » 1 min read about Travel

    So, I’m off to NYC again this weekend to see Jen and Jason. I love their new place so much that I just had to go back up there. I got my Acela tickets this evening. I head up at 3 PM on Friday and head back down to DC at 10 AM on Monday.…

  • City life

    05 Jul 2006 » 1 min read about Travel

    What a difference being in Manhattan makes, then in Astoria, even as a visitor. It was so nice getting up this morning, and walking half a block to the corner to stop for breakfast. We explored the neighborhood a bit and then walked to the very nearby grocery store so that Jen and Jason could…

  • In New York City

    01 Jul 2006 » 1 min read about Travel

    Requirements meetings are complete and I was able to get to Pittburgh airport earlier than I thought. In fact, instead of having to wait until the 8:30 PM flight on which I was originally scheduled, I was able to get on the 3:55 PM flight into La Guardia, and I made it to jen_ashlock and…
