Saint Patrick's day in Chi-Town
Growing up near Chicago, I had been there many times before but this day was absolutely perfect thanks to some Irish luck. It was also the last time I got to visit the Sear's Tower before it became the Willis Tower. Of course there's plenty to do in ...
Still at home, packing
Okay, I'm really starting to get nervous now. There's less than a week left and I don't know how I'm going to get everything done. I still have to do a bunch of laundry, figure out what I'm going to pack, LEARN GERMAN so that I can talk to ...
Made it back... for a bit.
... home would be easy and fun, but for me it was more like hectic and thrilling. For in the ten days I would spend in the United States I had some of my most intense travel yet. I rushed around six different cities in two states, saw dozens of family and ...

Dreaming of San Miguel
While it has warmed up above freezing here in Chicago, it is pushing 90 in the daytime in San Miguel de Allende, which is warm for this time of year, but we are so ready. I am uploading some more pix from our trip last year just in case I have trouble ...
Saying Goodbye..

Chicago to Frankfurt
... whole way (and tried my best to look the part with my shirt untucked and rumpled and my hair all tousled). I cashed in all my United Frequent Flyer miles (160,000) and got a first class ticket to India on Lufthansa, via Frankfurt. I was on an Airbus 330 ...
8 Mile

Finally...
... so ready for warm weather, since it seems like as soon as we get a nice day, we can expect about 5 cold days here in Chicago. So, David and I spent the day getting some last minute purchases out of the way. I got the ugliest picture taken since the ...
