US Road Trip 2017, Day 6.
The first day of exploring D.C. Was great! I got up without the alarm clock dragging me forth. In other words, I slept in. Hahahaha A long stand in the shower and a shave later I was emotionally ready to tackle the day. The Marriott Suites that I am staying at has a free shuttle…

US Road Trip 2017, Day 5.
Today was another one of those Point A to Point B days. I wanted to get from Pigeon Forge up to Bethesda, MD at a reasonable time. The hotel had limited amounts of oversized vehicle parking, and the truck won’t fit in the hotel’s parking garage. Also, the D.C. Traffic can be BAD! The drive…

US Road Trip 2017, Day 4.
Today started with procrastination. I mild desire to stay in bed saw me out the door an hour later than planned. And, on the road a half-hour later than planned. Once again, the day started at the Waffle House. Bacon, eggs, and coffee was followed by a trip to the gas station. Sadly, the gas…

Seeing your own country.
The object of most travel scenarios is to escape. Escape has many different faces, but it usually boils down to two basic ideas. They would be to escape the situation you are in (career, relationship, weather, emotional state, etc.) for a while, and to escape to some other place (different country, region, continent, etc.). I…

Off the beaten path.
So many people I know go to the places that everyone else goes to, like everyone has the same checklist. If they go to anyplace off the beaten path, it’s because they were usually forced there. The tour company set up a 10 day vacation package for us. Three of the stops were a, b,…

An Open Opinion of the Current Status of the Airlines
Flight Problems. This is strictly an opinion piece. Over the last weeks the news and social media people of the world have been deriding the airlines for episodes of inappropriate customer service. Where the individual problems with the different airlines were indeed, real problems, I think that both the news outlets and the social…
