Initially, the flight was going to be from Washington, D.C. to Boston, Massachusetts but herein lies the trouble with flying standby: it’s never a guarantee you will get on the flight you want. The night before we were leaving for Boston, we looked up the flight schedules to see what they looked like. D.C. to… Read More Travel Glitches from Providence, RI to Boston, MA
Arlington Cemetery, Virginia My introduction to D.C. was… not even in D.C., but rather right across the Potomac River at the Arlington Cemetery – famous for it being the resting place of the Kennedy’s as well as the “changing of the guard.” There were hundreds upon hundreds of these graves. The changing of the guard… Read More How to Make the Most of a Day in D.C.
I’ve been preparing to go on a trip to New England. After work tomorrow, I’ll be beginning a 6 day adventure of the east coast beginning with Washington, D.C. I’m not sure what to expect of D.C. aside from it supposedly being a big deal. It’s the capital of the U.S.A., so I guess that… Read More Preparing a Trip to New England
Alabama is the sequel to my Tennessee post and it’s the true reason I went on this trip to begin with. I have a habit of keeping an ongoing bucket list of locations I want to explore and one day on Reddit I happened across a post regarding the glow worms of Alabama. There are… Read More Where to Find Glow Worms in Alabama
This was my first time flying standby alone so I wasn’t sure how my flight to Tennessee was going to go. It went mostly without hiccups, except for the single most annoying thing that could probably happen – I wasn’t able to make the flight I had wanted to! This happens, though, especially on a… Read More An Introduction to Tennessee
01. chicago to denver to reno to lake tahoe Matt is the one who put this whole thing together, and I’m especially thankful for that. He found us a place to stay (with his incredibly gracious friend), had ideas on what to do, and he got me a free flight out there. Thanks, Matt! We… Read More Lake Tahoe Travelin’
01. leaving chicago My flight was pretty late in the evening (9.45pm), which I haven’t experienced yet, so I was hoping it would go smoothly which for the most part it did… except when I actually got to the airport. There’s always this anxiety to begin with because I don’t like going through security, and… Read More Origins: Jordan, Israel, and Poland
01. – nov. 24 Happy Thanksgiving! Wow. What a completely surreal day it’s been. I’ve been planning this trip since June and it’s finally been realized. There were so many factors against me getting here – potential airport workers striking, Thanksgiving holiday travel madness, thunderstorms, and a third party ticket that was super cheap but… Read More Exploring Iceland in November
01. The day started off weird. I’m flying Spirit Airlines, and they’re notorious for having extremely poor experiences. I was trying to find my gate, and wasn’t able, so went to another Spirit gate and asked them. They directed me, but I couldn’t help overhearing a squabble between a man and the kiosk employee. Apparently,… Read More Sober Travel to New Orleans
01. Sleepless in Seattle My flight was at 6.15am, so I “woke up” at 2am in order to have ample time to eat, shower, and get last minute details taken care of before heading to O’hare. ( When I say “woke up,” I mean actually got out of bed because I had been laying there… Read More Travel to Seattle
