I’ve been too busy having an awesome time in the Bay Area to blog about it. For now here are a couple teaser photos, watch this space for updates.
UPDATE -
I had been meaning to check out northern California for some time, Cassie went to school there and enough friends had migrated out that way. I [...]
After getting up far too early to stand in a line far too long and being subjected to far too much scrutiny (who’s idea was this backscattet x-ray – because that’s not a bit invasive right?) I am waiting to board Flight 45 to JFK. What I chuckle at is that I knew it was [...]
I wanted to get out to the Bay Area and visit a couple of friends and Ben’s allergies were killing him and he figured heading West might help… So we made a few trip changes / additions today.
Instead of coming back to ROC after visiting Sasha and doing the RIT Big Shot in Washington, DC [...]
Just landed at JFK after a great afternoon in New Orleans. I’m very glad I got to experience the city – I didn’t see myself spending a week’s vacation there so AYCJ was the perfect way to check things out without a huge time (or cost) investment.
We landed at Louis Armstrong International and I was [...]
So other than having to get up far too early for our flight to JFK, it was a great morning. Ben and I ate a solid breakfast of stone-cut oatmeal in JetBlue’s T5 (seemed to be the best value and the best nutritionally too) and then I actually found some decent espresso before boarding our [...]
It isn’t often that anything can get me out if bed at 3:50am but here I am at the Rochester “International” Airport waiting (along with Ben) for a flight to JFK. The free wireless is junk, then again it’s too early to think clearly enough to get all that much done anyway.
I am looking forward [...]
Heading back to Rochester via Seattle, taking the train there & then flying home via JFK after a day of sight-seeing. Net connectivity on the train so far has been very poor so more on this trip later…
UPDATE -
So I had promised myself that I wouldn’t leave Whitefish without first stopping at on of my [...]
It is nice when travel plans just “click.”
I am relaxing onboard AMTRAK’s Empire Builder train in Seattle, shoes off, feet up, doing a bit of people watching as the various sleeper and coach cars fill up. I have my dinner reservations and can’t wait to hear what they’ve cooked for us tonight. Other than [...]
Well, props to Jet Blue – we got in almost 40 minutes early, flight went smoothy, crew was friendly and they actually knew how to make tea (with cream and sugar). I’m only in town for about an hour – at this point some people are probably asking “why are you in such [...]
The last time I was at JFK, things were quite a mess if you were flying on Jet Blue. Their new terminal wasn’t done and passengers all had to be shuttled in mini-busses from one terminal to this temporary building in the middle of nowhere. The “waiting area” for this shuttle was nothing more than [...]
