My fiancée and I had back to back wedding weekends with one in Toronto and the next outside Paris. Of course, this got me into flight planning overdrive. With a little help, I was able to put together a Star Alliance itinerary with nonstop flights the whole way around. In …

Back to the story. Now, where were we again? Ah yes, Denver airport. Sitting and waiting and sitting and waiting. 
And yes, I was still hungover.

I was going to do this all at once, but it started getting really long. So, I’m posting part 1 today (The Good and the Bad) with part 2 (The Ugly) following tomorrow.
Apparently, much of the world decided it would be lucky to get married on 7/7/07. That included …
I was really excited about this trip for many reasons. First, my brother was graduating from medical school. Second, I was able to fly ExpressJet, a new airline for me (well, new if you don’t count flying on Continental Express). Third, it was the first time I’d ever flown in …
It seems like just last month that I was heading to Florida for a wedding. Oh wait, it was. This past weekend, I did it all over again. This time two of my good friends were marrying each other on Longboat Key, a surprisingly nice area near Sarasota. (Anything nice …

I made it back last night from the second annual Christmas trip to see my girlfriend’s family in Indianapolis and all went well. Tickets were over $500 roundtrip when we started looking a few months ago, so it took a little creativity to get the price down. We took US …
Last year, I went with a group of friends on a trip to Hawai’i for a week. We were amazed that all eight of us could get the same week off last year, but it was even more surprising this year when all but one of us were able to …
Surprisingly, it has been a year since I was last in Chicago (excluding layovers, of course). This past week was the Eye for Travel conference in the city, so I took the opportunity to go a little early, observe the Jewish holiday Yom Kippur with friends, and then schedule a …
You know if I break out some of the Coug’s lyrics, it must involve a trip to Indiana. This was just a short trip to visit my girlfriend’s parents, and amazingly it was my first flight in three months. That means it was my first trip under the new liquid …
