I’m off to Hawaii tomorrow!! I’m hoping to post status updates from the road. I’ll be taking off at 8:35am Michigan time and will finally arrive in Maui at 9:20pm Hawaii time, so it will be s long day!

This is also my first attempt at blogging from my iPhone so we will see how that works. I’m hoping this will work every time so I can get this blog up & running again and have everything in one place!

See you from the beach!

Japan – 2010

A couple friends of mine have a brother in the Navy stationed in Japan and wanted to go visit him in March of 2010, and since I had never been there, I thought I would join them for a quick jaunt around central Honshu island. We were able to get direct flights on Delta from DTW-NRT. We also got Japan Railpasses, which ended up being a good value for our trips to Kyoto and northern Japan. The pass gives you totally free rein to all of Japan! And the bullet trains are great!

I had planned a short trip to San Jose for President’s Day weekend since I had Monday off and found a good deal on a flight to San Jose. Sure the flight connected in Atlanta which sounded crazy to me, but little did I know what the airline gods had in store for me!!!

Mom and I took a little trip to Rome, Barcelona, and Florence for a week in November. This was a really fun trip and we got to see lots of old things — there is so much history in Rome especially!

This year I wanted to do something a bit different, so I thought I would head for the jungle. I knew it would be hot, but I was hoping to see some wildlife and be a bit more adventurous than usual. Anyway, here are some thoughts and pictures.

New York City – April 2009

Mom and I took a quick trip to New York City in April 2009. Here are some pictures and comments from the trip.

This was my fifth trip to NYC — it truly is my favorite city to visit. It is just such an exciting and dynamic place that there is always something new to discover. I know each time I can see something new, but of course you have to see all the classic sites too! This trip, everything was in bloom and it truly was beautiful!
