My Roller Coaster Ride in San Diego
Have I mentioned here abouts that I used to live in San Diego, CA? Well, I was a much younger bloke back then, though still single and (relatively) care free. My first stop this month happens to plop me down right in the heart of Mission Valley, just north of downtown San Diego. In all [...]
All New ChoiceHotels.com is Stellar!
As you know, travel is a big part of my job. Huge part. It’s not that my gig is all about travel, but when in sales, and working for an old company that still believes in the value of face to face contact, well, you travel. And I’m happy with my job, the travel, new [...]
In My Downtown Denver Hotel but Remembering Dallas!
If you are following along with any regularity (apparently you can subscribe using that RSS thing if you do the feed reader stuff. I don’t, but maybe I should?) you know that I was in Dallas, TX over the weekend.
I may be comfy and cozy right now in my nice Downtown Denver hotel, but this [...]
Get in My Belly, Cafe Brazil!
Clearly I talk about food a lot in my little web site here. If that offends you, I’m really sorry. My apologies. But when you travel as much as I do, you need to have hobbies. Eating just happens to be one of mine.
When I’m home, I cook for myself. When I’m not eating pizza [...]
What to do in Roanoke, VA?
Just arrived into Roanoke, VA. I’ve never been here before so, I’ll have to do some research online in order to figure out what to do with my off work time. I will say that my room at the Extended Stay Roanoke is just fabulous. You know how crappy it can feel when you travel [...]
The Great Thing About Saturday Travel
Even though most travel experts will tell you that the best days for flying anywhere in the U.S. are Monday through Friday, I have to wonder if they are not just buying into the Airlines marketing hoopla. You know as well as I do that most air fares that don’t include a Saturday night stay [...]
Deep Dish Dining Delight
Wow! How great does that look? I ended up taking a ton of pictures with my BB Storm while I was in the restaurant but only the ones of the food on my plate actually seem to be exposed correctly.
It took me a while to figure out that the easiest way to get the photos [...]
From My Midway Airport Hotel to the Nearest Pizzeria Uno
After finally having made it from the airport to the Sleep Inn Midway Airport Hotel, I have to find something yummy to eat. It’s still early in the evening, as I sit here in my room, however, room service just isn’t that appealing.
Even given the falling temperatures outside, I just have the yearning to get [...]
From Red Eye to Flat Tire. UGH!
The red eye flight from John Wayne Airport (love they named their facility after The Duke!) to Midway just landed, but they’re telling us we won’t be able to “deplane” (is that really a word) for some unforeseen amount of time. I gather there are some challenges with the wheels of the plane, and now [...]
Unexpected Anaheim Convention Center Hotel Diversion

My business travel schedule had me staying in Seattle and then flying directly to Illinois. The game plan was that I’d stay in Washington until Monday morning, fly to Midway, check-in, and be ready for meetings on Tuesday, early a.m.
Unfortunately, a co-worker has come down with something [...]
